MWCA, Inc. <br />Date: January 8, 2014 <br />Reference: Permit # M- 1977 -227 <br />Subject: Mesita Hill Pit Annual Report for 2013 <br />The only activity conducted at Mesita Hill in 2013 was monitoring of the <br />success of vegetation growth from the revegetation conducted in November <br />2008 after completion of the 2008 reclamation activities, and minor spot <br />spraying of weeds. <br />Reclamation completed in 2008 included site ground contouring, filling in <br />smaller pits, and larger pits contoured to allow livestock grazing. Available <br />growth material was spread as far as possible. Contouring outside the <br />permit boundary was also conducted as possible without disturbing mature <br />vegetation. <br />The site was visited on June 17, 2013 to monitor vegetation success. See <br />attached Bamberg Ecological report dated June 2013. This report noted <br />that vegetation cover and diversity is continuing to improve, and noxious <br />weed cover is not present. <br />No new disturbances or reclamation have occurred during 2013, thus the <br />map submitted with the 2008 report dated February 5, 2009 is unchanged. <br />Paul L.
