September 10, 2014 C- 1982 - 057 /Seneca II -W Mine JHB <br />RECLAMATION SUCCESS - Rule 4.15, Rule 3: <br />The gully undercutting the erosion fabric on the south side of Shrub plot S -1 SWS -1 has been repaired and <br />armored with rip rap. This is an acceptable repair. <br />(Photo) <br />There was 1 black cow grazing south of the S -1 SWS -1 shrub plot in the southern expansion area. <br />SCC has repaired the gully on the south side of the undisturbed Aspen grove that had been noted in previous <br />inspection reports. <br />A newly identified gully was noted on the north side of the undisturbed Aspen grove. This gully is relatively short <br />100 feet long, but is narrow and deep, roughly 2 -3 feet deep. The inspector marked the head of it with a white <br />fiberglass electric fence post, and showed Dennis Bugai the general location on a map in the office. Due to its <br />narrow configuration and short duration, brush packing may be an effective fix for this feature. <br />REVEGETATION — Rule 4.15 <br />Vegetative Cover; Timing: <br />The reclaimed steep slope north of Pond 016 is establishing stabilizing vegetation well. The lower portion <br />of the very steep slope received a gravel mulch. This treatment is proving effective and shows no sign of rill <br />formation. The topsoiled portion of this slope exhibits limited perennial species establishment. This slope was <br />seeded in Fall 2013, so 2014 represents the first growing season since seeding. <br />TOPSOIL — Rule 4.06 <br />Removal 4.06.2; Substitute Materials 4.06.4(4); Storage and Protection 4.06.3; Redistribution 4.06.4: <br />Topsoil stockpile T3 has patches of Bull thistle establishing on the north side of this area. Weed control <br />measures are needed. <br />DOCUMENTS RECEIVED NA <br />OTHER (SPECIFY) NA <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: 2 <br />Number of Complete Inspections this Fiscal Year: 1 <br />Page 5 of 10 <br />
