to the site appeared to be stable and blended into the surrounding terrain. Positive drainage off the pad area had been reestablished and there was no evidence of erosion. MDW E1 -26.5 was also electrically fenced, stable, and blended with the surrounding area. The pad area was roughened with slash and included decent vegetation, although some thistle was present and will need to be treated. Positive drainage off the pad area had been reestablished and there was no evidence of erosion. However, the well -head survey pin was not observed, so MCC will need to identify the well -head location and affix a pin. Next, we proceeded to MDW E1 -30. The sides of the access road to the pad area tied into the surrounding area and no erosion was observed. Straw waddles had been installed for drainage control and to trap sediment. The fenced pad area was stable, roughened with slash and included decent vegetation. Positive drainage off the pad area had been reestablished wherein water runs to stock ponds at the "Cow Camp" and there was no evidence of erosion. However, the well- head survey pin was not observed, so MCC will need to identify the well -head location and affix a pin. MDW E1 -41.5 was electrically fenced, stable, and blended into the natural topography. The pad area was roughened with slash and included good vegetation. Positive drainage off the pad area had been reestablished and there was no evidence of erosion. However, the well -head survey pin was not observed, so MCC will need to identify the well -head location and affix a pin. The sides of the access road to MD W E 1 -34 tied into the surrounding area and no erosion was observed. The pad area, which was reclaimed in 2011, was not fenced, blended into the natural topography, and exhibited good vegetation although some houndstongue was present. Positive drainage off the pad area had been reestablished and there was no evidence of erosion. However, the well -head survey pin was not observed, so MCC will need to identify the well -head location and affix a pin. MDW E1 -38 was not fenced but was stable and blended into the natural topography. The pad area included very good vegetation, although some Canadian thistle was present and will need to be treated. Positive drainage off the pad area had been reestablished and there was no evidence of erosion. However, the well -head survey pin was not observed, so MCC will need to identify the well -head location and affix a pin. We continued on to MDW E1 -45. The pad area was fenced, blended into the surrounding area, and exhibited good vegetation although some houndstongue was present. Positive drainage off the pad area had been reestablished through roughening and there was no evidence of erosion. However, the well -head survey pin was not observed, so MCC will need to identify the well- head location and affix a pin. We began the morning of June 20, 2013, by observing MDW E1 -08 which was fenced and blended into the natural topography. MCC had laid down straw mulch and constructed horizontal benches that follow the contours of the reclaimed area. As a result, positive drainage off the pad area has been established and no erosion was observed. The area contained decent vegetation and the well -head survey pin was in place.
