The action <br /> of the water had caused a minor gully to form. <br /> The area around the gully is previously disturbed ground <br /> near the overland conveyor. No topsoil was present in the <br /> area. The water that +!owed down the embankment traveled no <br /> more than 20' before it was intercepted by the haulage road <br /> ditch system. <br /> After I became aware that the water was not flowing into the <br /> culvert I had a crew member attempt to take a loader up the <br /> light use road and re-establish the drainage. Because of the <br /> wet road conditions the loader was unable to drive up the <br /> road. Therefore, my entire crew went to the site and hand <br /> dug a ditch to the culvert. The drainage was re-established <br /> before the end of the shift. The gullies were filled in <br /> today (it finally dried up enough so that the loader could <br /> drive to the site) . <br /> Based upon the above facts Mid-Continent Resources +eels <br /> that the light use road has been maintained in such a manner <br /> that erosion has been kept to a minimum. Mid-Continent <br /> respectfully requests that NOV C-88-021 be vacated since it <br /> is our opinion that Rule 4. 03.3(6) (a) has not been violated. <br />
