Page 9 <br />Cross Section 4 This area is noticeably steeper than the channel <br />above and is on the lower edge of the bonded strip. Flow <br />in the channel appears to be concentrating into a single channel <br />instead of braiding as noted in earliest reports. With the wet <br />spring weather some flow signs were noted on the side slopes of the <br />channel. Cross Section 4 of Appendix A shows the collective data <br />for this area. <br />Cross Section 5 This cross section is located on bond released <br />land and is being monitored only to predict how this area might <br />affect that of the bonded portion. In this vicinity vegetation is <br />present on some of the side slopes of the channel but none was <br />noticed in the bottom. Rock size in the channel varies from 2 to <br />12 inches in diameter and the channel appears well armored. This <br />section showed the most sign of erosion of all the sections, but <br />still cannot be considered excessive at this point. Special note <br />should be taken of this area in the spring 1996 survey to see if <br />the channel heals or deepens further. The combined data graph for <br />this section is found in Appendix A. <br />Based on the data collected from these five cross section areas and <br />a general survey of the area this concentrated flow feature does <br />not appear to be experiencing excessive erosion. For this reason <br />no mitigative measures are proposed for this concentrated flow <br />feature at this time. <br />Subarea 1 Erosion Condition Classification <br />South of Shop Subarea 1 was evaluated using the methods described <br />in BLM Technical Note No. 346. The erosion condition composite <br />soil surface factor score for this site is 4.2, which places it in <br />the Stable erosion class. The tabulated results for this survey <br />are contained in Table l0. <br />Subarea 2 Erosion Condition Classification <br />This area was also evaluated using the methods described in BLM <br />Technical Note No. 346. The erosion condition composite soil <br />surface factor for this site is 4.2 which places it in the Stable <br />category. The tabulated results for this survey are listed in <br />Table 11. <br />Subarea 3 Erosion Condition Classification <br />The procedure outlined in BLM Technical Note No. 346 was used to <br />evaluate this area. The erosion condition composite soil surface <br />factor for this site is 4.2. This places this area in the Stable <br />category. The tabulated results for this survey are listed in <br />Table 12. <br />6/22/95 DLB <br />
