C. From Sta. 100+00 to Culvert G-15, erosion of soil from cut slopes <br /> and colluviai slopes above the road cut has completely blocked the <br /> ditch in many areas . As a result, drainage has run down the road <br /> and over the fill slope, causing concentrated rill erosion in <br /> numerous locations . The source of concentrated flows causing <br /> erosion of cut slopes and undisturbed colluvial slopes above Road G <br /> is drainage from a light use road which connects the Mine 5 portal <br /> area with the mine fan adjacent to the AML project site. Similar <br /> problem ditch segments continue from Culvert G-15 to Culvert G-12, <br /> between Culverts G-8 and G-7, from Sta. 22+00 to Culvert G-4, and <br /> from Sta. 5+00 to Culvert G-1 . <br /> Road F <br /> 14. As with other roads , the drainage ditch does not meet design <br /> configuration for much of its length, with many segments scoured, other <br /> segments filled in with sediment, and required riprap checks not <br /> installed. <br /> 15. Downcutting has occurred in the 500 foot ditch segment between <br /> Sta. 125+00 and Sta. 120+00. <br /> 16. The ditch had filled in, in the vicinity of Sta. 100+00. This resulted <br /> in drainage escaping the ditch and eroding 3 gullies up to 2 feet deep by <br /> 2 to 3 feet wide on the road fill . <br /> 17. At approximately Sta. 84+00, sediment eroded from the gully on the slope <br /> above the road has sloughed into the ditch. The material needs to be <br /> cleaned out to restore the design capacity. This is a continuing <br /> maintenance problem which will need to be corrected. Similar deposition <br /> of material has occurred at the base of a gully which originates at the <br /> RD-4 ditch relief drain. The deposition is a short distance above <br /> Culvert F-3, at approximately Sta 85+00. <br /> 18. Between Culvert F-5N and a double culvert set above, road drainage has <br /> channeled down the outside edge of the roadway and spilled over the <br /> outslope, causing several gullies up to 2 feet deep on the road fill . <br /> 19. Between the RD-2 ditch relief drain and Culvert F-2, the road surface is <br /> 50 to 55 feet wide and the numerous drainage ruts originating on the road <br /> surface have led to gullying on the road fill . Several of the gullies <br /> have been blocked with straw bales but additional work is required. <br /> 20. Below Culvert F-4N, the road surface is rilled for several hundred feet. <br /> The rills appear to originate a short distance above the culvert at the <br /> point where flow from an upslope gully empties into the road ditch . The <br /> ditch has apparently been overtopped at this location . <br /> -3- <br />
