The slump resulted in a scarp 400 feet or more in length and approximately 4 feet in height, A flow <br />of approximately 15-20 gpm was noted discharging from the toe of the slide during the April inspection; flow <br />appeared to be somewhat less than that on May 30. The operator completed repairs to the section of fence at <br />the north end of the fenced aspen planting area that had been damaged by the slide in late May. Flow was still <br />emanating from the toe of the slide during inspection on June 14/15. <br />Repairs will need to include grading to eliminate the scarp, installation of a rock drain at the toe, and <br />reseeding and planting.
