The terraces in the west ridge area are stable and functioning as designed. No erosion or gully <br />features were noted at the time of the inspection. The outlets of the terraces into the "string of pearls" <br />permanent drainage were stable with no problems noted. The "string of pearls" series of check dams <br />were stable with no problems noted. Check dams C2 and CK3 displayed slight movement of the rock <br />in the check dams. The check dams showed evidence of good functionality, with sediment moving <br />from one dam down to the next as designed. <br />Slight down cutting was observed along the west ridge road ditch west of the String of Pearls dam. <br />This down cutting was evident and most prominent for -50' along a steep grade in the west ridge <br />road. The ditch was permitted and designed as a triangular ditch. The ditch is stabilized at the top of <br />the slope and at the inlet to the string of pearls drainage at the bottom of the slope. Although some <br />down cutting was evident, the ditch remains in the permitted triangular shape with substantial <br />vegetation cover in the base and sides of the ditch, providing evidence as to the stability of the ditch. <br />String of Pearls permanent drainage. <br /> <br />Terrace along West Ridge Area.
