Page 3 <br />Block 2 <br />Moffat Area, Block 2 was evaluated using the methods described in <br />BLM Technical Note No. 346. The erosion condition composite soil <br />surface factor score for this site is 18.0, which places it in the <br />Stable erosion class. The tabulated results for this survey are <br />shown in Table 2. This block scored slightly worse than last <br />year's report which is indicative of an extremely wet spring <br />season. One gully is prominent through the center of this block on <br />an east west orientation. This gully appears to be the expression <br />of a natural drainage channel, and will be placed on the mitigation <br />list. Details of the mitigation will be covered in' a later <br />section. <br />Block 3 <br />Moffat Area, Block 3 was evaluated using the methods described in <br />BLM Technical Note No. 346. The erosion condition composite soil <br />surface factor score for this site was 23.0, which places it in the <br />Slight erosion class. This area was seeded last spring and resides <br />on a fairly steep hillside. Billing is quite apparent on the area <br />but no mitigation is proposed for this year in order to allow <br />vegetation to establish. Should these rills not heal during the <br />1995 growth season, mitigation will be proposed in 1996. The <br />tabulated results for this survey are shown in Table 3. <br />Block 4 <br />Moffat Area, Block 4 was evaluated using the methods described in <br />BLM Technical Note No. 346. The erosion condition composite soil <br />surface factor score for this site is 26.0, which places it in the <br />Slight erosion class. The tabulated results for this survey are <br />shown in Table 4. This area degraded slightly compared to last <br />year. The primary reason is the forming of some gullies toward the <br />north-south center of the block along the western edge. This area <br />will be placed on the mitigation activity list. <br />Block 5 <br />Moffat Area, Block 5 was evaluated using the methods described in <br />BLM Technical Note No. 346. The erosion condition composite soil <br />surface factor score for this site is 32.0, which places it in the <br />Slight erosion class. The tabulated results for this survey are <br />shown in Table 5. This is another area that was seeded in the <br />spring of 1994. Mitigation is planned on this block for this year <br />to repair gullies adjacent to Moffat Area Down Drain #1. <br />6/22/95 DLB <br />
