August 11, 2014 C- 1981 - 013 /Golden Eagle Mine LDS <br />REVEGETATION — Rule 4.15 <br />Vegetative Cover; Timing: <br />Vegetation sampling of the disturbed area and the reference area was completed in early July, 2014. <br />NECC and their consultants, Arcadis, shared the results of the sampling with Division but did not submit a bond <br />release application. Discussion of the results and implications of the sampling are ongoing at time of writing. <br />The vegetation reference area (grassland) was also inspected. The reference area is not clearly marked. Page 2.05- <br />19 of the permit application packet states that "The reference areas are fenced to minimize disturbance by <br />domestic livestock "; in fact the boundary is not entirely fenced. Since domestic livestock do not use the area there <br />is no need to construct a fence, however the lack of fence means that the precise boundary of the reference area is <br />difficult to identify in the field. NECC should consider marking the corners of the reference area. <br />DOCUMENTS RECEIVED <br />N/A <br />OTHER (SPECIFY) <br />N/A <br />ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS /COMPLIANCE <br />No enforcement actions were initiated as a result of this inspection, nor are any pending. <br />Number of Partial Inspection this Fiscal Year: 1 <br />Number of Complete Inspections this Fiscal Year: 1 <br />Page 3 of 9 <br />
