• placement of 2" to 3" of new top soil in areas of sparse vegetation on the cap;
• placement of 4" to 6" of top soil to fill a small depression on the west side of the cap. In addition, maintenance work performed in September 2002 comprised:
• grading and stabilization of the east slope of the east perimeter ditch;
• placement of sod on the east slope of most of the southeast portion of the east perimeter run- on surface water drainage ditch.
