Based on this evaluation, several options will be available to correct [he si[uaci on. The see <br />options will be a direct result of studying the situation and selecting the option that will • <br />best rectify the erosional problem. Dne or more of [he following options and corrective: <br />methods will be employed. <br />Improved Channel. If it is determined that topography of the regraded area is such that <br />drainage is toncentreted into a particular area, drainage control will be improved. The <br />drainage bottom or channel will be reshaped, if needed. This will be done with either a <br />motor grader or dozer, making the channel in the shape of a Y that is approximately 16 feet <br />to 20 feet wide. The channel bottom will either be seeded, covered with erosion matting ar.d <br />seeded, or rocked. The method used will depend on site conditions. The area vill continue <br />to be observed for problems or necessary maintenance. <br />No Defined Channel. On a slope where there ie no swale or defined channel, a number of <br />operations may be performed, depending on the extent of the erosion. The area will be disked <br />on the Contour or erosion matting will be placed on the area, depending again on site <br />characteristics. Reseeding will then take place. In addition to the above, contour furrows <br />in and above the erosion area may be constructed to intercept and slow down the runoff or ':o <br />channel flows. Strew dikes will also be used where appropriate to control runoff and • <br />promote vegetation. <br />Other Methods. If corrective measures described under aNO Defined Channels fail, further <br />observation will be necessary to develop additional measures. A combination of the first two <br />described methods or some variation will then be applied. Methods may include rock <br />channels, contour furrows, or laterals with rock or matting bottoms, Y ditches made with the <br />dozer or motor grader, and methods described above to reestablish vegetation. <br />Head Cu[tinc Stabilization. Head cutting will be controlled using several, varying methods. <br />If the Brea is at a point that concentrates runoff, the area will be improved to accept the <br />runoff. This would include reshaping the channel and channel bottom, seeding, and covering <br />the channel with erosion matting or rocking. In other areas, depending on the extent of <br />erosion and time of year, disking and seeding will be conducted es required. Strew bales, <br />erosion matting end rock fill may also be used to stabilize the eree. <br />A copy of the map identifying the rill end gully areas along with a rill and gully <br />stabilization plan that briefly describes the problem at each identified eree end the • <br />8 <br />
