The silt fence was <br />originally cmatructed along this portico of the road to cesttrol erasim and prevent additional <br />connibatirna of sediment to the stream in Sylvester Gulch. Please continue to maintain the berm <br />slang loam Sylvester Gulch road so that the weight of the berm material does not break the silt <br />fence and allow adt6timal cantribntiona of sediment to the stream. <br />Minor seeps were noted m the cutslopc above the Light Uae Maintenance Road between the <br />interaedim of the Subatatim Access Road and the Mein Haul/Access Road.
