Present during the inspection of the site were <br />Nathan Barton, representing the operator, and Andy Moore of the Division. <br />The area ie approximately 5 acres in size. It lies along the east aide ~~f the crest of a <br />hogback ridge. The eloping of the area looks good, and the vegetation ie coming along. <br />However, there are some areas where there ie not much growth, and there are a few areas of <br />minor rill erosion. The operator should repair the erosion in the near futcire, before spring <br />and summer storms have a chance to make it worse. It might be a good idea to do some minor <br />spot reseeding, too; this could be broadcast seeded and, ideally, hand-raked afterward. <br />There is an area just to the south where there ie some undisturbed grown<9. This area has <br />bedrock at or near the surface; it is somewhat rocky with scattered shrubs and grass clumps. <br />I advised Mr. Barton to let another growing season pass and then reevaluate the area before <br />considering requesting a release. The area is looking good, and it compares well with the <br />neighboring undisturbed area; however, the grasses should be a little better established in <br />some areas, especially where there are signs of potential erosion problems. <br />I ~ E Contact Address <br />NAME Mr. Nathan A.
