change in sedimentation storage or sudden increase in a sediment delta at the inlet to the pond <br />would be detected which could require mitigation. To ensure adequate capacities, and taking <br />into consideration the level of revegetation of previously surface mined surveys, PSCM has <br />committed to capacity surveys every 10 years beginning in 2016. <br />The following table lists the latest surveyed capacities of PSCM sediment ponds: <br />STOCK TANKS <br />There are 13 stock tanks or stock ponds in the PSCM mined/reclaimed area and are all classified <br />as permanent and are certified annually. No new stock tanks /ponds were constructed during the <br />2013 season. <br />WILDLIFE MONITORING <br />Wildlife monitoring was conducted in cooperation with CPW during 2013. The work included: <br />Monitoring of Golden Eagle nest sites. <br />— A total of 6 sites were identified in Spring 2013 for monitoring. Three were believed to <br />have been destroyed by natural causes. The remaining three nests were monitored. All <br />were inactive during 2013. <br />• Monitoring four (4) known Columbian sharp - tailed grouse leks and checking for new ones <br />Following are the grouse counts at the 4 established leks on the PSCM reclaimed area. <br />— Seneca Mine 1 Lek 14 males <br />— Seneca Mine 2 Lek <br />15 males <br />— Seneca Mine 3 Lek <br />23 males <br />— Seneca Mine 4 Lek <br />14 males <br />LITERATURE CITED <br />2008 Annual Reclamation Report, Seneca II Mine, Routt County, Colorado.
