Problems listed in that <br />report (copy enclosed) are still problems except that the material stockpiled around the trees on the processing area has <br />been pulled away from the trees. <br />Permit boundary markers that had been replaced are gone again. These markers need to be reinstalled at least at the <br />corners of the permit area. The slopes are still not backfilled to a 3:1 as specified in the permit. It appears that these <br />slopes were not ever at a 3:1 and cannot be returned to a 3:1 grade without substantial importation of material. Some <br />material has been backfilled against the toe of the slope to stabilize it, but it appears that much more material would be <br />needed to accomplish this task. San Juan County has indicated for several years that a permit revision will be forthcoming <br />to resolve these problematic issues, but that revision has not been submitted. Failure to address this problem by August <br />31, 2001 may result in an enforcement action. <br />San Juan County will need to adequately address all problems noted in the previous inspection report (enclosed with this <br />reportl, except for the partially buried trees problem which has been resolved, by the August 31, 2001 date noted above. <br />No significant infestations of noxious or other problematic weeds were noted on site during this inspection. <br />No significant erosional features were noted on the affected areas of the site. <br />Responses to this inspection report should be directed to Steve Shuey at the Division's Durango Field Office.
