September 9, 2014 C-1994-082/Yoast Mine JHB <br /> <br /> <br />Ponds on the west side of the permit area were not accessed due to the rain and muddiness of the access road. <br />Ponds 12 and 13 were holding water. Pond 14 was not observed. <br /> <br />ROADS Rule 4.03 <br />Construction 4.03.1(3)/4.03.2(3) <br />Drainage 4.03.1(4)/4.03.2(4) <br />Surfacing and Maintenance4.03.1(5) and (6)/4.03.2(5) and (6) <br />Reclamation 4.03.1(7)/4.03.2(7): <br /> The site was accessed from the main Access road from RCR No. 27. The access road was in good <br />conditions but muddy in spots due to the wet conditions. SCC has completed repairs along the access road for <br />gully repair, and rip rap placement. These repairs are acceptable. <br /> <br />Access road LU3A was driveable and not too soft from the rain. SCC has completed repairs to the outfall of the <br />stock tank outfall at drianage YPM-8. SCC has installed additional rock at the location where the fabric was <br />undercutting. This repair appears effective and is an acceptable repair. <br /> <br />SCC has graded the ditch along LU3 and LU2.(Photo). This maintenance is acceptable. <br /> <br />RECLAMATION SUCCESS - Rule 4.15, Rule 3: <br /> Shrub plot SP-6-1 southern fence was partially knocked down allowing larger ungulates access to the <br />shrub plot. There was evidence that some minor browsing has occurred within this plot. However, the shrubs and <br />trees appear to be large enough at this stage to withstand the browsing pressure. DRMS does not see a need to <br />repair this fence. The observed shrub species within this fenced shrub plot, Serviceberry, Snowberry, Sagebrush <br />and Antelope bitterbrush averaged between 18 inches and 2.5 feet tall.(Photo) <br /> <br /> <br />DOCUMENTS RECEIVED NA <br />OTHER (SPECIFY) NA <br /> <br />ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS/COMPLIANCE <br /> <br />No enforcement actions were initiated as a result of this inspection, nor are any pending. <br /> <br />Number of Partial Inspection this Fiscal Year: 2 <br />Number of Complete Inspections this Fiscal Year: 1 <br /> <br />35 <br />Page of <br /> <br /> <br />
