<br />9 <br />' <br /> road was widened and surfaced. This should limit future disturbance of <br /> the road fill. It was then hydromulched and reseeded in February, 1975. <br />' <br /> Mr. Harry Swift of Western Evergreens Nurser y has been retained to add <br /> native sh rubs to the slopes. , <br />' 2, Haul Road from Scalehouse into Quarry <br /> Recommend ations <br />' <br /> (aj Backslope road cuts where possible. It was recognized that <br /> little backsloping was possible in this stretch of road. <br />' (h) Hydromulch the fill slopes and any successful back slopes <br /> with about 15 pounds per acre of a mixture of four kinds of <br />' grass seed. <br /> Actions <br />' No backsloping was practical. The fill slopes here have not been re- <br />disturbed. Most of them are now quite well stabilized and vegetated by <br />residual natural vegetation, new natural seeding and hand seeding without <br />' hydromulching. The remaining unvegetated patches were hydromulched in <br />February, 1975. <br />' The negative visual impact of a deep section of road cut remains here, <br />but little can be done to change it. The negative visual impact of the <br /> fill slopes is greatly improved. <br />' 3. Service Road to Top of Quarry <br /> Recommendations <br /> (a) Provide drainage for the road in a way that will avoid concen- <br /> trating runoff. Two suggestions were offered. <br />' (b) Backslope the cuts to a stable 2 to 1 or 1 1/2 to 1 slope. <br /> (c) Seed with a mixture of seeds of three kinds of grasses and <br />' three kinds of shrubs with farm equipment or by hand. <br /> (d) Hand plant acorns of Gambels oak in natural-appearing groups <br /> on the fills. <br /> Actions <br />' The cut slopes have not been backsloped as recommended. <br /> For safety in wet weather the Company felt it could not outslope this <br /> road, or "roll" the surface outward periodically, as recommended. Use <br />' during wet weather led to subsequent regrading that left a high berm <br /> on the outside of the road. As this berm now conceals much of the cut <br />' bank from view from the highways below, our recommendations were changed <br />in 1974 to retain the present road form <br /> . <br />1 <br />
