Slides and Damage <br />On the 15'", the lower portion of a large slide <br />complex was visited south of the proposed <br />disturbed area rn South Taylor The head <br />scarp of this slide body is located on the SW <br />'/. SE '/a of Sec 20, T3N R93W in Rio <br />Blanco County, Thrs slide will not be <br />impacted by the proposed South Taylor pit <br />but may be included rn the disturbed buffer <br />zone It may be appropriate to reconsider <br />disturbing any portion of this slide to avoid <br />future problems to reclaimed areas. (Note <br />scarp and hummocky terrain in photo at <br />right) <br />design plans for South Taylor ponds use a curve number of 58-61 that results in almost no <br />storm runoff from a 10-year 24-hour storm event. At this time. the Division believes using <br />these low curve numbers for one and two year-otd reclaimed areas in any pond designs for <br />South Taylor is not supported by actual experience at Colowyo <br />
