Apri122, 2014 C- 1982 - 057 /Seneca 11-W Mine JHB <br />function of this ditch. (Photo 10). <br />Monitoring Wells: Groundwater monitoring well GW- S2W -14W was visible as a 2.5" dia. PVC casing. The <br />casing was capped but not locked. ID on the PVC was recorded as WW -14. <br />GENERAL MINE PLAN COMPLIANCE: <br />No significant problems were encountered. Maintenance items are noted in the other sections of this <br />report. <br />ROADS — Rule 4.03 <br />Drainage 4.03.1(4)/4.03.2(4); Surfacing and Maintenance 4.03.1(5) and (6)/4.03.2(5) and (6); Reclamation <br />4.03.1(7)/4.03.2(7): <br />G haul road was dry and drivable. Ridgeline road was dry with no problems. The ridgeline access road <br />was blocked with a snowbank along the ridge between drainages 006 -NE3 and 006 -E2. SCC was grading Road G <br />during the inspection. A portion of Haul Road G needs grading to assure that runoff is directed into the ditch and <br />subsequently to Culvert PM -15. Runoff off the road has washed gravel from the roadway onto the reclamation <br />(Photo 4) <br />The slope on the south side of G road between PM -4 and PM -5 continues to gully. SCC has previously attempted <br />repairs. Additional repairs, seeding, stabilization is needed. (Photos 4 & 14) <br />Road I was accessed on the first day of the inspection to drainage 006 - Gulch. The road was in good repair and no <br />maintenance was needed for this road. <br />It had rained /snowed during the night preceding the second day of the inspection. Snow was present on the higher <br />elevations of the reclaimed mine. The remaining access roads were soft from the precipitation. Haul Road J was <br />getting very muddy south of Pond 16. A heavy snowstorm moved in and limited continuing the inspection past <br />Pond 16. <br />RECLAMATION SUCCESS - Rule 4.15, Rule 3: <br />Shrub plot "006 upland AA" (Exhibit 22 -1) looks good. Appears to be dominated by sagebrush <br />Slope south of G road near Shrub plot "006 upland AA ", still shows evidence of sediment movement down the <br />slope. Vegetation has recent sediment deposition on it. <br />REVEGETATION — Rule 4.15 <br />Vegetative Cover; Timing: <br />Vegetation is greening up. Perennial grasses are green. Perennial forbs are beginning to sprout and shrub <br />species are beginning to bud. <br />SLIDES and DAMAGE - Rule 4.12: <br />Regraded slopes appear stable. No new areas of instability were identified. Previously repaired areas <br />appear to be holding up following snowmelt. Areas that show evidence of slumping or cracking are in agreement <br />with Tab 20 Attachment 20 -E: 2011 Areas of Instability. <br />Number of Partial Inspection this Fiscal Year: 7 <br />Number of Complete Inspections this Fiscal Year: 3 <br />Page 5 of 14 <br />
