Disposal Area <br />LOCATION: Sec 36, R64W, 6th P.M. <br />Las Animas County, Co. <br />COMMENTS: The slopes have been disced and all the rills have <br />been removed. A inspection of the slopes surface material was <br />closely observed and a question is will this material be <br />satisfactory for growth of vegetation or will topsoil be required". <br />The western portion of the slopes appears to have a reasonable <br />amount of topsoil, but the eastern portion is in question. The <br />bottom of the disturbed area seems to be satisfactory. <br />The " U TYPE DIVERSION DITCH " as previously reported has been <br />completed. The GABION BASKETS placed into the ditch have been <br />tied together and are accepted, although placing of the baskets <br />was constructed poorly, leaving uneven edges and a somewhat bad <br />appearance. The upper (slope side) of the Gabion baskets does <br />not blend in grade wise with the slope of the hillside. As is, <br />this will retain the slope runoff water, not allowing the water <br />on to the Gabion Basket, which will run along the basket and <br />eventually under mine the Gabion. This will totally destroy the <br />value of the Gabion Wi;e Rock Basket. <br />There are no signs of water ponding or erosion. The winter season <br />has been very light in moisture downfall. No additional changes <br />to the previous report. <br />RECOMMENDATION: That a study of the area listed above , which <br />may require topsoil , be made by a qualified soil labatory. <br />Then completed as recommended to seed and mulch the area. The <br />Gabion Wire Rock Basket Diversion Ditch needs to have the top of <br />the basket the same elevation as the original slope, which would <br />allow the runoff onto the basket ditch and not along it. Recommend <br />this correction be made as soon as possible. <br />PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERS STATEMENT <br />this report was prepared hereon <br />of my knowledge and information. <br />.~- ZO- %~ <br />Date <br />9869 <br />I, John H.
