coarse rip rap was transported down the channel and deposited at the <br />low-gradient area where the channel empties into the pond. <br />3. The third issue is cumulative, involving five separate <br />locations where erosion problems were identified in the Moffat Area <br />reclamation. <br />a. At the north end of the Moffat Area, on the west-facing <br />slope between the reclaimed lower haul road and the Moffat Pond <br />several large gullies have formed draining from the reclaimed area <br />down into the undisturbed area downslope. The gullied area is <br />approximately 200 feet long, with gullies up to 3 feet deep. <br />Sediment was transported into the undisturbed area and deposited as <br />an alluvial fan in the brush. <br />b. Gullies have formed in the Moffat reclamation uphill from the <br />East Ridge spoil pile south of spoils springs 16/17. These gullies <br />are up to 24" deep. Sediment in this gully system does not leave <br />the disturbed area. <br />c. A gully system is developing on the west-facing slope of the <br />Moffat reclaimed area between reclaimed stretches of the middle and <br />lower haul roads. <br />d. A cluster of gullies occurs on the west-facing slope of the <br />Moffat reclaimed area approximately 50 feet south of Moffat down <br />drain #4. <br />e. On the slope above spoils springs 16/17 in the Moffat Area a <br />large gully, up to 40" deep, has formed, first by following a <br />contour furrow, enlarging along its length, until it cuts downhill <br />across the furrows. <br />4. Tipple Ponds 1 and 2 are experiencing problems related to <br />buildup of sediment within the ponds. Pond 1 is completely full of <br />sediment up to the spillway. <br />Pond 2 is cloudy and, consequently it is impossible to judge the <br />level of sediment in the pond. Water is overflowing, however, out <br />of the pond and is flowing along a course west of the ponds, <br />between the ponds and the railroad tracks, bypassing Pond 3. <br />
