Using an abney level, DMG personnel took measurements of the <br />slopes approximately every 50 to 60 feet, for a total of 7 measurements, as follows: <br />16°, 10°, 16 °, 14.5 °, 15°, 14 °, 7°. All of these measurements result in a grade <br />shallower than 3H:1V, which is that required by the permit and Construction Materials <br />Regulations. Under the surface of the water, the grade is even shallower, possibly <br />SH:1V. <br />The western slopes of the pond are overgrown with yellow clover, orchard grass, <br />(oxtail barley, cheat grass, and tamarisk. Rushes and cattails have invaded the <br />shallower slopes along the southern edges, along with immature cottonwoods. The cover <br />along northern edges appears to be between 508 to 758 of the natural cover to the <br />west of the pond, with the cover along the southern half varying between 758 to 1008 <br />of the natural cover. <br />A small seep seems to have sprung up about 50' from the southern corner, although <br />it was not actively running at the time of the inspection. Whether the seep is due <br />to an upwelling of groundwater or runoff from above is not clear. <br />At this time, DMG is satisfied with all of the re-grading along the western slopes <br />of the western-most pond on this site. Seeding along the north-western edge would <br />be recommended prior to the release of this area from reclamation responsibility. <br />However, no further grading is required at this time. <br />I & E Contact Address <br />NAME: Robert Siegrist <br />OPERATOR: See above <br />STREET: R75 W. 64'" Ave.. <br />CITY/STATE/ZIP: f)enver.
