This submittal complies with the permit commitment. <br />The 2011 report included written descriptions of the location of five identified gully areas, provided a <br />description of mitigative measures to be taken by Colowyo, a time commitment of when the work would be <br />completed, and a Map showing the locations of the gullies. <br />On May 31, 2001, CCC e-mailed photos of repair work conducted on the gully identified on the outslope of <br />the East Taylor Pond. This feature was identified as Area 6 in the 2011 Rill & Gully Report. Repairs <br />shown in the photos appear acceptable. This location still needs to be seeded with a stabilizing seedmix. <br />Thank you for your timely submittal of the 2011 Rill and Gully Report. Please provide documentation of <br />repair work conducted at the other identified locations. <br />H.
