of interest about this stabilization project is that the USFS has <br /> been saying that this portion of Dutch Creek will need to be re- <br /> routed back into the floodplain upon completion of final <br /> reclamation. Their contention is that MCR re-routed Dutch Creek to <br /> the south in order to construct facilities. Based on review of old <br /> aerial photos, the channel has been in this location at least since <br /> 1953. These same photos also show that the cut bank has been in <br /> place since at least 1973. So, although this minor stabilization <br /> work is definitely not the final solution, any attempt to re-locate <br /> the channel should be evaluated very carefully. <br /> - Preliminary grading work has been completed on the raw coal <br /> stockpile area <br /> - Numerous maintenance activities have been performed, some <br /> voluntary and some as a result of violation abatements. These <br /> include pond cleaning, ditch maintenance, road maintenance, etc. . <br />
