Pikeview Quarry. <br />Permit NM-77-211 <br />Dear Mr. Schreiner: <br />~~N <br />8 1984 <br />HAND DEL/VERED <br />In your February 3, 1994, inspection report of this operation you made note of some <br />corrective actions you thought should be taken. These actions primarily involved repairing <br />some erosional problems on a couple of the slopes south of the shop. One erosional channel <br />(west of the drainage) was very deep and appeared to be slowly expanding. The other area <br />involved some shallow rills near the top of the slope south of the shop. A third corrective <br />action involved backfilling some small cut slopes on the inside of an access road that was <br />never completed. <br />The erosional damages to the shop slope (large gully and small rills) were repaired in May. <br />The sites were topsoiled and seeded. A small portion of the rills due south of the shop is still <br />exposed, but the deep soil layer above those rills should repair as soil washes down from <br />above. There was simply no way to get the equipment to that area without running a dozer <br />down the hill all the way to the bottom. That would undoubtedly cause far more damage than <br />leaving maybe a hundred square feet of shallow rills that should fill in as the soil adjusts <br />upslope from them. The soil was placed on the slope with a backhoe. That was the only kind <br />of equipment that could do the work without actually going on to the slope. This small area <br />was just beyond the reach of the backhce. Therefore, extra soil was placed above the <br />remaining rills with the expectation that some of that soil will wash down the slope. Due to the <br />steepness of this slope, that movement is expected to occur by late summer. In the event it <br />does not occur to the extent expected, soil will be shoveled over that area by hand this next fall <br />and winter and that portion seeded when completed. <br />
