January 22, 2015 C- 1982 - 057 /Seneca II -W Mine JHB <br />A portion of Pond 16 could be observed. Pond 16 was holding a frozen, snow covered pool of water. Animal <br />tracks were visible on the embankment. Little other observations could be made based upon the aerial photos. <br />Although drainages are snow covered, no obvious problems were noted with any of the drainages. <br />Stock tank T -27 appears to hold water, though frozen and snow covered. The other 3 stock tanks in drainage PM- <br />2A appear dry though snow covered (not holding water under the snow cover) <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 />Although Road G is snow covered, it appears a vehicle has attempted to access this road. Vehicle tracks <br />could be observed up to Pond 5. It was indeterminate whether these tracks were recent or had been in place a <br />while. <br />Roads throughout the mine site are snow covered. No recent vehicle tracks were noted on G road east of Pond 5. <br />No recent tracks were seen on the Ridgeline access road, LU4, LU -5, LU -3, LU -2 or Road A. Tracks on Road J <br />appear to be from a snow machine. SCC plows the main access road to the shop area. Limited plowing was noted <br />at the shop. There does not appear that there has been much activity at the shop recently. <br />The access road to the oil well is plowed as well. <br />RECLAMATION SUCCESS - Rule 4.15, Rule 3: <br />The snow fence on the ridge west of PD -4 drainage can be seen. Enlargement of the aerial photo finds a <br />considerable snowdrift forming on the leeward side of the snow fence. This drift is effectively covering the shrub <br />and tree transplants. The electric fencing surrounding the transplants cannot be seen in the aerial photo. <br />Drainage PM -1 watershed appears windblown and thinner snow pack than observed in other parts of the reclaimed <br />permit area. No locations within the reclaimed areas appear problematic at this time based upon the aerial photos. <br />SLIDES and DAMAGE - Rule 4.12: <br />No new slumps or areas of instability were noted that have not previously been documented. <br />DOCUMENTS RECEIVED NA <br />OTHER (SPECIFY) NA <br />Number of Partial Inspection this Fiscal Year: 5 <br />Number of Complete Inspections this Fiscal Year: 2 <br />Page 3 of 7 <br />
