The condition of the individual features previously mentioned were measured using method (1) ("Cross-Section Survey") outlined in Permit No. C-80-001, Section 4.3. This method was chosen to determine the rate of degradation or agradation within these reaches over time. The stability of the hillslope was measured using a modification of the individual feature method. In this case, a reference stake was placed on each side of the suspected movement area with two stakes placed in the monitored azea to form astraight-line transect. Any offset of the center stakes was then noted. Two transects were placed on the hillslope to determine if any differential movement within the suspect hillslope occurred. MONITORING INFORMATION MOFFAT AREA SUMMARY Ten separate blocks aze designated in the Moffat Area. These azeas are shown on Exhibit I, Sheet 1 of 2, of this report. Table 1 provides a summary of the inventory data and is followed by a brief description of each area and the corrective measures performed on each block as a result of previous inventories. The numerical value for each block represents the composite erosion condition soil surface factor (SSF) score as determined by the inventory methods.

Block 1 contains live-handled roto-cleared topsoil (1992) that did not receive additional seeding as a test block for the reintroduction of native plant species on live-handled roto-cleared topsoil. • Repair of single gully on northem portion of Block (1994). • A portion of the northem section of Block received interseeding in 1995 as described in the 1995 Annual Reclamation Report. Block 2 contains live-handled roto-cleared topsoil that was seeded in the spring of 1993. • Gully shaped and matted, Downdrain 3 (1995).
