Springs 1-7 May

Dear Mr. Waldron:

Monitoring
-022
On May 5, 1995, in accordance with the Division's monitoring
requirements, I attempted to monitor Springs 1-7 in the Coal Gulch
Trail area with the ATV. Spring 7 is required to be monitored
monthly, and is accessed in the winter months on foot. Springs 1-6
are required to be monitored monthly from April to October,
recognizing the fact that the Coal Gulch Trail area in inaccessible
during the winter months.
I was able to monitor Spring 1, 3, and 7. The lower portions of
the Coal Gulch Trail were covered with rockfall debris, but there
did not appear to be evidence of mass movement in the landslide
area. Snow was encountered at approximately the 8,000-foot
elevation. Water was running down and across the trail, creating
muddy and difficult travel conditions. At approximately the 8,200-
foot elevation, before the turn-off to Spring 3, the snow was of a
depth to be impassable with the ATV. Spring 3 was accessed on foot
through knee-deep snow. Spring 2, 4, 5, and 6 were not monitored
on May 5.
Please call if there are any questions.
Sincerel ,
