Photograph of the Foursche Maline Watershed. Site # 2. Gully erosion in the forebay area. Corrective action includes reshaping. Lining with cobble material and seeding to Sericea lespedeza. OK-2968-7.

Photograph of watershed vegetation. This site in Robber's Cave State Park was hand-planted to bermudagrass sprigs in the spring of 1964; top-dressed with 50 pounds of actual nitrogen. Excellent cover on all areas except spillway out slopes. South slope in the background. OK-2687-14.

Photograph of a diversion terrace above emergency spillway cut slope. Hnad-planted to Bermudagrass in the Spring of 1968. Unfenced; heavily grazed. Erosion in channel leading into an overfall. Fourche-Maline Watershed, Site # 3. OK-2687-7.

Photograph of a cut slope and a portion of emergency spillway (looking southwest) handplanted to Bermuda grass in the Spring of 1964. Unfenced; subjected to a very heavy grazing. Very little soil material available for plant growth. Fourche-Maline Watershed, Site # 3. OK-2687-8.

Photograph of Foursche Maline Watershed. Site # 2. General view of the spillway cut slope and haul roads. Original vegetative measure was a planting of Western red cedar which failed. Corrective action includes reworking to control overhead water with a series of pipe drop structures. Area to be seeded to Sericea lespedeza, weepign lovegrass and Bermudagrass and mulched with hay mulch. OK-2968-10.

Photograph of a spillway cut slope approximately 100 feet high constructed on a 2:1 slope with two 15 to 20 feet barms [?] at the lower elevations. Area is unfenced. Most of soil material is blue shale. Area mulched and seeded to mixed native grass including short-leaf pine seedings Accelerated erosion has caused extensive gullying. Vegetation considered a complete failure. Fourche-Maline Watershed, Site # 3. OK-2687-16.

Photograph of a "close-up" of emergency spillway cut slope that had been hand planted to Bermudagrass in the Spring of 1964. Unfenced; heavily grazed; no effective vegetative cover of any kind remaining. Any soil material originally on slope has been deposited on the floor of the emergency spillway. Rock blanket now covering slope appears adequate. OK-2687-11.
