establishment. <br />Not capped Rock placed on flange: requires seal. Slightly sparse vegetation, minor <br />rilling, needs seed. Site is in a natural drainage, receives more runoff <br />than other pads. <br />Not capped Rock placed over flange, which is flush with the ground and filled with <br />topsoil. Steep pad, sparse veg. Spring at base, likely lubricating small <br />slip lane. ID tag is missing. <br />11 -02 ** Not ca ped Filled to surface with soil. Steep stable slope. Mullen. <br />Seal /Reclaimed Steep stable slope. No casing above ground. Less mullen. Good yarrow, <br />rasses. <br />s ` Not capped Steep stable slopes. No OSI. Casing at ground level filled with soil. <br />Mullen. <br />Seal /Reclaimed BLM seed mix. Steep and stable slopes. Good aster, yarrow, and rabbit <br />brush. <br />Seal /Reclaimed Very steep, great vegetation (Oxbow mix). Rock buttress at bottom <br />supporting slope. <br />Signs and Markers (Rule 4.02) <br />The mine identification sign at the entrance from State Highway 133 is intact and <br />contained all necessary information in accordance with 4.02.2. <br />All observed topsoil stockpiles were marked in accordance with 4.02.7. Several long <br />topsoil stockpiles would benefit from additional markers to ensure proper identification <br />and protection of the resource. <br />Sediment Control Measures. (Rule 4.05.5) <br />Sediment control best management practices (BMPs) throughout the inspected <br />borehole pad locations range from adequate coverage, improper installation, to <br />nonexistent. <br />NOTE: Straw Wattles are designed to function as a sediment barrier /perimeter control <br />BMP for small drainage areas. Straw wattles and silt fences are designed to pond <br />surface water run -off and a common misconception is that wattles will filter run -off. <br />Proper installation and an understanding of design application for this type of BMP are <br />important to understand. The most appropriate application for this type of BMP, in <br />regards to functionality, are small drainage areas with sheet flows, flatter grades, and <br />are generally used in conjunction with other erosion control BMPs. <br />When using straw wattles for sediment control, they should be 1) installed along the <br />drainage contour; 2) trenched below grade and backfilled; 3) firmly secured down, and; <br />4) adequately overlapping. <br />In the event the straw wattles are flattened by vehicle traffic (cattle grazing in this case) <br />and overwhelmed with sediment accumulation, they must be replaced to continue to <br />function as designed. <br />
