~~ Improved Channel. If it 1s determined that topography of the regraded area is such [ha[ drainage <br />is concentrated into a particular area, drainage control will be improved. The drainage bottom or <br />channel will be reshaped, if needed. This will be done with either a motor grader or dozer, making <br />[he channel in the shape of a V that is approximately 16 feet to 20 feet wide. The channel bottom <br />will either be seeded, covered with erosion matting and seeded, or rocked. The method used will <br />depend on site conditions. Continued observations will be made of this area for additional problems <br />or necessary maintenance. <br />No Defined Channel. On a slope where there is no Swale or defined channel, a number of operations <br />will be performed, depending on the extent of the erosion. The area will he dis M.ed on the contou[ <br />or erosion matting will be placed on the area, depending again on site characteristics. Reseeding <br />wi1L then take place. In addition to the above, contour furrows in and above the erosion area may <br />be roost tutted to Sntercepi and slow down the runoff or Co channel flows. Straw dikes will also be <br />used where appropriate to control runoff and promote vegetation. <br />Other Methods. If tort ective meas utes described under "No Defined Channel" fail, further observation <br />will be necessary to develop additional measures. A combination of the first two described methods <br />• or some variation will then be applied. Methods may include rock channels, contour furrows, or <br />laterals with rock or matting lined bottoms, V dittoes made with a dozer or motor grader, and met nods <br />described above to reestablish vegetation. <br />Head Cutting Stabilization. Head cutting will be controlled using several varying methods. If the <br />area is at a point that concentrates runoff, the area will be improved to accept the runoff. This <br />would include reshaping the channel and channel bottom, seeding, and covering the channel with <br />erosion matting or rock. In other areas, depending on the extent of erosion and time of year, <br />dlski ng and seeding will be conducted as req ulred. Straw bales, erosion mat[1 ng and rock fill may <br />also be used to stabilize the area. Straw mulching and crimping wi 11 be considered as a further <br />optton. <br />Peabody will submit to the Division by June 1 of each yea[, a copy of the map identifying the rill <br />antl gully areas along with a rill and gully stabilization plan that briefly describes the problem <br />at each rden[Sfied area antl the proposed mitigative measures. The rill and gully stabilization <br />plan will be implemented Dy July 1 oC each year and completed by November 1 or until weather <br />conditions restrict operations. <br /> <br />.3-31 Revised CIl15/33 <br />
