MWCA, Inc. <br />Date: February 5, 2015 <br />Reference: Permit # M- 1977 -227 <br />Subject: Mesita Hill Pit Annual Report for 2014 <br />The only activity conducted at Mesita Hill in 2014 was monitoring of the <br />success of vegetation grown from the revegetation conducted in November <br />2008 after completion of the 2008 reclamation activities, and minor spot <br />spraying of weeds. <br />Reclamation completed in 2008 included site ground contouring, filling in <br />smaller pits, and larger pits contoured to allow livestock grazing. Available <br />growth material was spread as far as possible. Contouring outside the <br />permit boundary was also conducted as possible without disturbing mature <br />vegetation. <br />The site was visited on June 1, 2014, and September 1, 2014, to monitor <br />vegetation success. See attached Bamberg Ecological report dated <br />September 2014. This report noted that vegetation cover and diversity has <br />continued to increase, and noxious weed cover is not present. <br />No new disturbances or reclamation have occurred during 2014, therefore, <br />the map submitted with the 2008 report dated February 5, 2009 remains <br />unchanged. However, we are providing a copy with this filing. <br />Paul L. Glader <br />Corporate Environmental Director <br />MWCA, Inc. /Hecla Limited <br />Tel.: 208.769.4100 Fax: 208.769.4122 <br />
