Description :
Rates of sheetwash erosion were studied for different slope components by using erosion pin arrays over a three year period. Small watersheds lacking gully development were monitored simultaneously with sediment traps and additional erosion pin arrays. The frequency of small landslides was estimated throughout the mine and one landslide was captured in a sediment trap, permitting some quantification of this component of erosion.
