<br /> <br />Rule 2.41(6): Heavy thunderstorms during 1982 <br />eroded some gullies into the east bank of the pit, leading <br />up to Academy Boulevard. These problem areas will be examined <br />for corrective action. It is interesting to note that <br />several of the highway cut slopes that were well vegetated <br />and showed very little erosion problem in past years have <br />suddenly become severely eroded and gullied. It is apparent <br />that such slopes can be revegetated and are stable, except <br />under the severe impact of the unusually intense thunderstorms <br />which occurred in 1982, <br />Rule 2.41(7): In the next year, it appears that <br />nearly all of Tract C will be completed. It is not known <br />what will happen after then, One possibility that is being <br />closely studied is removing the dike between this operation <br />and Daniel's Sand Pit to the south. This would require <br />moving the water ditch to the north side of the Castle Sand <br />Pit and placing it under Academy Boulevard. At present, a <br />study is underway to determine if such a move would be <br />economically feasible. Moving the ditch would be expensive, <br />but savings in slope reconstruction, increased land value, <br />plus the acquisition of a few million cubic yards of sand <br />that is not currently accessible, could produce a favorable <br />economic balance. <br />MAP: No map is submitted because changes are <br />easily described verbally and are relatively minor in extent. <br />Page 2 of 2 <br />
