• a given site to be documented. Technical Note No. 346 is provided in Permit No. C-80-001 as MONITORING INFORMATION Appendix 4.3-B. The condition of the individual flow 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 area to form astraight-line transect. Any offset of the center stakes was then noted. Two [ransects were placed on the hillslope to determine if any differential movement within the suspect hillslope occurred. MOFFAT AREA SUMMARY Ten separate blocks aze designated in the Moffat Area. These areas are shown on Exhibit 1, Sheet I 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. All of the blocks scored in the stable category during this survey. The relatively low values were impart due to increased vegetative cover and a lack of surface runoff during the spring snowmelt. The lack of surface runoff resulted in little or no soil movement or surface litter movement.

Block 1 contains live-handled roto-cleazed topsoil (1992) that did not receive additional seeding as a test block for the reintroduction of native plant species on live-handled roto-cleazed topsoil. • Repair of single gully on northern portion of Block (1994). •• A portion of the northern section of Block received interseeding in 1995 as described in the 1995 Annual Reclamation Report.
