2012 Reclamation Report <br />Southfield Mine <br />During October, 2004, interseeding of approximately 6 acres at the Mine Site, comprising lands <br />owned by the Corley Company, was completed at the end of October. EFCI previously seeded <br />and mulched this area during site revegetation activities in October 2003. Due to some confusion <br />in dealing with the changing wishes and needs of two different landowners concerning seed <br />mixes, EFCI inadvertently applied an incorrect seed mix on the Corley property in 2003. To <br />correct the seeding with the approved seed mixture on the Corley property, EFCI submitted a <br />plan to the DRMS proposing interseeding of the grass species Indian Ricegrass and Beardless <br />Bluebunch Wheatgrass. Upon approval, EFCI broadcast interseeded the referenced area (October <br />2004) at a rate of 1.4 and 3.1 pounds PLS /acre of Indian Ricegrass and Beardless Bluebunch <br />Wheatgrass as was previously reported. <br />As stated in previous Annual Reclamation Reports, during the year 2004, EFCI planted shrub <br />clumps in the reclaimed facilities and refuse disposal areas at the Mine Site in accordance with <br />permit requirements and in response to landowner preference. Accordingly, during May 2004, <br />approximately 1,800 plants were purchased from and then planted by the Colorado State Forest <br />Service. Based on a plan approved by the DRMS, EFCI established a total of seven (7) shrub <br />clumps (plots) on the refuse pile, the Pond 3 and 4 areas, and a total of five (5) shrub clumps in <br />the facilities area on the Vento property. The approved shrub clumps were planted based on the <br />following composition of seedlings: <br />Refuse Area Shrub Clumps (small) <br />Facilities Area Shrub Clumps <br />12 Rocky Mountain junipers <br />60 <br />Rocky Mountain junipers <br />4 Ponderosa pine <br />20 <br />Ponderosa pine <br />48 Skunkbrush sumac <br />16 <br />Pinon pine <br />Refuse Area Shrub Clumps (large) <br />4 <br />Red cedars <br />(2 times the above seedling numbers) <br />52 <br />Mountain mahogany <br />48 <br />Skunkbrush sumac <br />Shrub clump planting involved specific methods intended to improve plant survival rates. All <br />seedlings were placed in holes along with a moisture retaining gel to keep the roots moist. On the <br />ground surface, various methods of mulching were installed which incorporated approximately <br />sixty percent of the planted seedlings. In addition, nearly half the plants were wrapped with <br />plastic shrub guards to reduce wildlife browsing damage. <br />During the summer season of 2006, Mr. Kent Crofts of I.M.E., Inc. did the interim revegetation <br />sampling and reporting at the mine site, the refuse pile area and at the Loadout site. Energy Fuels <br />was committed to monitor vegetation during Year 3 (2006) and Year 7 (2010) in the permit <br />document. The vegetation sampling was completed and the respective reports are on file with the <br />DRMS. <br />I <br />
