SLIDES AND DAMAGE <br />Office SAE <br />The backfilled slope appears stable with no new slumping or sliding evident. <br />Water from snowmelt was flowing in the channel at an estimated 50 gpm. The water was piping <br />beneath the first gabion basket at the top of the channel. The water then appeared to flow beneath the <br />baskets throughout the length of the channel, and finally exited from the last basket at the bottom of <br />the channel where flow continues into the ditch next to the road. The water flow velocity did not <br />appear to be slowed by the gabion baskets because the flow was not prevented from flowing <br />underneath the baskets. <br />The approximate 2 cubic yards of rock and dirt that were left at the toe of the channel should be <br />removed unless there is a use for the material. <br />Portal bench <br />A small sediment debris flow covering less than 100 square feet is gradually working its way down <br />from the road above to the portal bench area. The flow should be watched although it does not <br />appear to present any problems and may help to lower the steepness of the slope above the bench. <br />Page 4 <br />
