No new areas were graded or topsoiled and seeded. For this <br />reason a map of 2014 new disturbance is not included with this submittal. <br />Control of noxious weeds continued throughout the 2014 growing season, <br />predominantly with bi- weekly inspection of reclamation and disturbed areas for the <br />presence of noxious weeds. These weeds included Canadian Thistle and Hounds - <br />tongue with control achieved by hand spraying infested areas with Tordon. <br />Inspection for erosion damage (rills and gullies) to reclaimed areas was included as <br />part of the bi- weekly weed survey of the general mine area. No problem areas <br />were identified. <br />Please contact me at 303 - 300 -8704 or John Terry at 303 - 300 -8885 if there are any <br />questions regarding the 2013 Annual Reclamation Report. <br />Sincerely, <br />Louis Head <br />Secretary <br />12250 State Hwy 12 PHONE (303) 300 -8877 Or (303) 300 -8879 <br />Weston, Colorado 81091 FAX ((719) 868 -0044 <br />
