December 31, 2014 C -1982- 057 /Seneca II -W Mine JHB <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 roads throughout the mine site are snow covered. The main access road has been plowed to the shop <br />area. The access road to the oil well has also been plowed. Road G has not been plowed. Tire tracks from a <br />vehicle were observed on road G up to T -22. No problems could be observed with any of the roads due to the <br />snow cover. <br />RECLAMATION SUCCESS - Rule 4.15, Rule 3: <br />Although the site is snow bound, larger shrubs and tall grasses still extend above the snow. The snow <br />fence at the top of the ridge west of PD -4 drainage is still visible. It appears to aid in snow deposition on the lee <br />side. It is noted that there were numerous large animal tracks, probably elk, on the ridge north of the snow fence. <br />The operator installed an electric fence around the living snow fence transplants. Once the snow melts off, the <br />operator should evaluate if the electric fence is adequate to restrict browsing damage by the deer and elk of the <br />transplanted trees and shrubs. <br />SLIDES and DAMAGE - Rule 4.12: <br />The snow cover provides good relief of the previous land instability areas. No new, unmapped slumps or <br />slides were noted. Reclaimed slopes appear stable from the photos. <br />SUPPORT FACILITIES - Rule 4.04: <br />The main access road has been plowed to the shop area. Only a small path has been plowed around the <br />shop building. No activity at the shop was apparent form the photos. <br />DOCUMENTS RECEIVED NA <br />OTHER (SPECIFY) NA <br />ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS /COMPLIANCE <br />No enforcement actions were taken as a result of this inspection, nor are any currently pending. <br />Number of Partial Inspection this Fiscal Year: 4 <br />Number of Complete Inspections this Fiscal Year: 2 <br />Page 3 of 6 <br />
