WEST RIDGE SUMMARY <br />The West Ridge Hydrologic Reconstruction Plan was completed in 1995. West Ridge has been <br />separated into nine different blocks for the Erosion Inventory Control Report using the terraces <br />as boundaries (see Exhibit 1, Sheet 2). Table 12 provides a summary of the inventory data and is <br />followed by a brief description of each block and corrective measures performed on each block <br />as a result of previous inventories. P&M personnel expect that some erosional features may <br />develop in the newly reclaimed areas for the next several years until vegetation begins to <br />establish. The terraces are performing as anticipated; existing gullies located primarily on older <br />non-topsoiled reclamation show no sign of activity and seem to be stabilizing with vegetation <br />establishing along the sides and bottoms. All blocks remained the same or showed slight <br />deterioration from the previous yeaz. The reduced status was primarily caused by the slow <br />establishment of vegetation on the most recently reclaimed non-topsoiled portions of the blocks. <br />Table 12: West Ridge Erosion Inventory Data Summary <br />Area 1999 1998 1997 1996 <br />Block 1-6 12 13 35 18 <br />Block 6-7 18 18 21 18 <br />Block 7-8 24 23 17 17 <br />Block 8-9 12 7 18 19 <br />Block 9-10 18 12 27 25 <br />Block 10-11 18 12 23 24 <br />Block 11-12 18 12 19 22 <br />Block 12-13 12 12 21 21 <br />Block 13-14 9 6 24 26 <br />Block 1-6 <br />• No corrective measures taken to date. <br />Block 6-7 <br />• 1996 -Gully repair. <br />Block 7-8 <br />• No corrective measures taken to date. <br />Block 8-9 <br />• No corrective measures taken to date. <br />Block 9-10 <br />• 1996 -Gully repair. <br />Block ]0-11 <br />• No corrective measures taken to date. <br />9 <br />
