Site reconnaissance for the Path 15 Erosion Project was conducted (re-visited) during the spring and summer of 2010. Twelve sites were identified as “High Priority”, meaning that erosion damage was impairing or preventing access along the roads, making travel hazardous, and/or threatening the integrity of transmission line structures. Several additional sites were identified as “Moderate Priority” as defined by the likelihood that development of erosion features, if left unchecked, would most likely impair or prevent access along the roads or threaten the integrity of transmission line structures in the near future. A number of other erosion features were categorized as “Low Priority” based on a potential that further development of these features could eventually impair access or threaten structures.
