III. Comments/Compliance <br />This was a partial inspection conducted by Jim Burnell of CDMG on the morning of Friday, <br />July 15, 2005. Weather was clear and hot. Hubbard Creek was flowing strong but clear, <br />both above and below the site. <br />The sign at the entrance was erected and in place. The road and gate to the site was in <br />good repair and the gate was locked. <br />The road to the site was in very good condition. <br />The old coal stockpile area cicer milkvetch was flowering. The revegetation on that area is <br />spotty -there is good wheatgrass growth in some areas, sparse perennial grasses and <br />cheatgrass in others. There was scattered bull thistle on the area and patches of bindweed. <br />There was the usual debris of old beer bottles and cans. The perimeter ditch was mostly <br />clear except for some deadfall. The culvert was clear. <br />Pond 3 was dry. The embankments were stable. Both discharge pipes were clear. The <br />floor of pond 5 was also dry. The embankments were stable and the discharge structure <br />was in order. The road to pond 5 was stable and in good condition. <br />The lower bench areas are sparsely vegetated with abundant cheatgrass. At the north end <br />of the lower bench was a great deal of young Canada thistle that needs treated. There was <br />also a good bit of new Canada thistle on the eastern end of the bench area, as high as the <br />edge of the slope break at the upper bench. The cover by cicer milkvetch increases toward <br />the upper bench. There is a great deal of cheatgrass on the upper bench. The abundance <br />of rose bushes characterizes the upper bench. Cicer mlkvetch increases in density up the <br />slope, along with an unidentified bluish-green forb. <br />The riparian area had good cover -areas of willows and grasses on the slope between pond <br />5 and the creek. <br />
