x <br /> i ) <br /> Storke Seep Monitoring <br /> An inspection was conducted at the Storke Seep area on June <br /> 29, 1995 . The area was inspected for seeps and moist areas, <br /> phreatophytic vegetation and soil boundaries within the <br /> area. <br /> Seeps And Moist Areas <br /> There were four major seep areas: <br /> 1 . French drain above the dog leg in the flume - This <br /> area has a high flow of water which wets the surrounding <br /> area. <br /> 1A. The main channel has orange deposits stained on <br /> the rocks. <br /> 1B. Thirty feet to the north is another seep that has <br /> little staining. The water goes through some vegetation and <br /> ends up going through a -green pipe before it goes into the <br /> flume. <br /> 2 . North Seep - This seep is just above the gate on the <br /> flume . The water flow wets the adjacent areas . The main <br /> channel has orange deposits on the rocks . <br /> 3 . South of the French Drain - This seep comes out of <br /> the ground and wets the surrounding area. There is a slight <br /> orange staining form this seep. <br /> 4 . South Side Near Willows - There is still snow in <br /> this area and no sign of water flow coming out of the <br /> hillside. The area is wet with some standing water. There <br /> are no orange stains in this area. See map 1. <br /> Phreatophytic Vegetation <br /> The only phreatophytic species found were Salix spp. The <br /> Salix are concentrated in small and medium clumps near the <br /> water sources . There are a few small plants along the flume <br /> and on the steep overburden slope. See map 2 . <br /> Soil Boundaries <br /> The overall area seems to have been disturbed. There are <br /> three main soil areas : steep slopes from overburden, road <br /> base material and areas in between that are capable of <br /> sustaining vegetation. See map 3 . <br />
