As part of the Year 3 stabilization activities in Canyonlands National Park and Natural Bridges National Monument, preservation monitoring was conducted by the stabilization crew at 14 sites stabilized under two separate contracts. The purpose of the inspection was to evaluate the effectiveness of the stabilization conducted at each site to assess the rate of deterioration from natural and human-induced factors. Monitoring inspections were conducted in March and April of 1986. The monitoring activities were concentrated on inspecting specific areas in each site, looking for: 1) signs of general erosion and deterioration, 2) loose or displaced fabric, 3) structural strain or failure, 4) damage from insect or rodent activity, 5) damage from vegetation, and 6) damage caused by visitation. The document includes monitoring forms and schedule.
