Comments/Compliance <br />This was a partial inspection conducted by Jim Burnell of CDMG on the morning of <br />TuesdayJuly 16, 2002. The site was quiet and deserted. The weather was hot, dry and <br />hazy from the smoke of nearby forest fires. <br />Hubbard Creek contained some pools, but there was no water flowing at all. All the signage <br />was erected and in place. The road and gate to the site was in good repair. <br />The path (road) to the upper bench was stable with no erosion. Vegetative growth was good, <br />although sparse, but looking bad because of the drought conditions. The upper bench was <br />stable, with no erosion. The lower bench was also very dry. <br />None of the underdrains were discharging, and the ditch was dry. <br />The old coal stockpile area contained decent coverage by cicer milkvetch, which was still <br />green despite the conditions. There are also some trees and scattered grass there. A 2-inch <br />waterline lay in the ditch at the edge of that area coming down from the brush, running <br />through the ditch, and heading back up into the brush. <br />Pond 4 is filled with willows and other vegetation, including alders and lots of grass. The <br />discharge structures were clear and the embankments stable. <br />Pond 3 also contains trees and willows. The discharge structures were clear and there was <br />no sign of instability on the embankments. <br />Pond 5 was dry; the discharge structures were clear. <br />There was new flagging along the lower access road near the creek. <br />The south-facing aspects of both benches were baked, while the vegetation facing slightly <br />away appears in much better condition, with a lot of yellow sweetclover this year. Both <br />benches appeared stable. <br />The road up Hubbard Canyon was in very good condition. <br />
