i <br /> III. COMMENTS-COMPLIANCE <br /> Below are comments on the inspection. The comments include discussion of observations made during the <br /> inspection. Comments also describe any enforcement actions taken during the inspection and the facts or <br /> evidence supporting the enforcement action. <br /> Channel 006-NE2 <br /> 006-NE2 is actually a continuation of 006-NE3,beginning at design point RR, near the lower end <br /> of the"woody draw", and continuing down to confluence with 006 Gulch(design point C),just <br /> to the east of the oil well bench. There had been recent intermittent erosion along sections of the <br /> channel upstream of a steep section at the lower end. Maintenance grading had been recently <br /> completed along some sections of the reach(Photo SL2-29),but short segments of narrow gully <br /> incision remain(Photo SL2-30). Gully repair, channel shaping, and riprap installation to design <br /> specification(see Permit Figure 20-1.1) need to be completed along the length of NE2 upstream <br /> from the steep lower segment. Due to the extent of grading work and riprap installation <br /> required, the Division will exclude the channel segment extending from Design Point RR <br /> down to the beginning of the steep lower reach above the 006 confluence from the SL-2 <br /> proposed decision (a channel segment approximately 600' in length). The steep reach at the <br /> lower end of the channel appears to be relatively stable,but riprap has been washed out in a <br /> few locations, exposing the fabric underliner, and maintenance is warranted (see Photo <br /> SL2-31). <br /> Channel 006-El <br /> The short reach above (east of) the Ridgeline Access Road has been riprapped and is developing <br /> a good vegetative cover; the channel and adjacent sideslopes appear to be stable (Photo SL2-49). <br /> The entire length of the E-1 channel downstream of the Ridgeline Access Road to its confluence <br /> with 006 Gulch, likewise appears to be a stable riprapped channel. There are a few locations <br /> where past side scour is evident,but the locations appear to be healing. Photo SL2-16 shows a <br /> typical segment above the 006-E2 confluence; Photo SL2-19 shows a lower segment of the <br /> channel,below the 006-E2 confluence. <br /> A hillslope gully enters the upper reach of 006-E1 several hundred feet west of the Ridgeline <br /> Access Road. The gully begins approximately 20 yards below the road and 50 yards north of the <br /> channel, and is 12"-16" deep in some segments (see Photo SL2-15). Further downstream, along <br /> the segment below the E2 confluence, another hillslope gully of similar depth, and approximately <br /> 100' in length enters the channel. These gullies will need to be stabilized in accordance with <br /> the approved Rill and Gully Plan. There are a few other locations where old hillslope gullies <br /> enter the channel,but these all appear to be healing over, and maintenance does not appear to be <br /> warranted. <br /> 13 <br />
