There would be no direct effects to site hydrology, soils, or existing erosion patterns as a result of the No Action alternative. Existing surface runoff and erosion issues would continue as is. Regular county road maintenance on the Walking Box Road would continue to preserve the existing drainage paths crossing the road.

Maintenance would occur only in response to emergencies, such as precipitation or runoff events that cause blow-outs, mass wasting, or building damage.

The No Action alternative would not result in any cumulative effects to hydrology or soil resources at the ranch.
