e 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 /> may be necessary). One of these gully locations down-slope from the PM-14 culvert is depicted <br /> in Photo SL2-35. <br /> Further to the north on the same slope, above the RMRS aspen test plot area, there are small <br /> areas of concentrated rills and patchy vegetation, where minor scarification and interseeding <br /> would appear to be warranted (Photo SL2-36). <br /> The riprapped upper segment of the 006 Channel (above the Ridgeline Access Road) appeared to <br /> be stable. TRM was installed along the 006 tributary that drains through Culvert PM-17, located <br /> north of the aspen test plots, within the last couple years. This channel appears stable, although <br /> due to the recent disturbance, vegetation is not yet well established along the channel <br /> construction corridor. <br /> 006 Gulch (Ridgeline Access Road to 006-E1 Confluence) <br /> Upper slopes along the channel,particularly on the north side between the 006 Channel and <br /> TRM channel downslope from Culvert PM-17, are poorly vegetated and rilled (Photo SL2-50). <br /> Minor scarification and interseeding may be warranted. <br /> The riprapped 006 Channel appears to be stable along the reach, with the exception of a short <br /> segment just upstream of Stock Pond T-5, where riprap has been washed out exposing the <br /> underliner, and there is incipient head-cutting. Maintenance is warranted in this location; detail <br /> view is shown in Photo SL2-51, and the location of the scoured zone is shown in Photo SL2-53. <br /> Rill development was noted along the former maintenance route adjacent to the channel. Upon <br /> completion of maintenance in the scour zone, the maintenance route will need to be properly <br /> reclaimed, with water bars or dips as warranted to prevent flow concentration along the route. <br /> The channel segment downstream of the T-5 embankment to the 006-E 1 confluence was stable. <br /> A minor settling crack was observed on the hillslope south and slightly west of T-5, but there <br /> was no evident displacement and repair does not appear to be warranted. <br /> 006 Gulch (006-E1 Confluence to 006-NE2 Confluence) <br /> There were several concerns regarding drainage maintenance noted for this channel segment in <br /> the June 2006 inspection. Most of the concerns appear to have been addressed. However, one <br /> issue has not been fully addressed. The 2006 report described a severely eroded segment(gullied <br /> 2' to 4' deep), extending upstream from the 006-NE2 confluence. Based on observation made <br /> during the SL-2 inspection, the gully was repaired;however the channel was not properly re- <br /> 15 <br />
