cement.
LWB 11 -2
Reclaimed
Reclaimed in 2013, casing below grade so could not verify within 36" of
surface), needs monument. Observed bull snake. Surface ripped and
stable; grassy with some woody stems, surrounding undisturbed area
features sagebrush and juniper. Cheatgrass prevalent. May be a good
area for herbicide application.
LWB 11 -3
Reclaimed
Reclaimed in 2013. Surface stable, ripped. Some cheatgrass and
tumbleweed present. Mr. Wanstedt indicated this casing may be well
outside the 36" surface proximity and need extending plus monument
before bond release.
LWB 12 -3
Reclaimed
Surface stable, ripped, and seeded last fall. Casing below grade, needs
monument. Very little vegetative establishment. Relying on surface
roughness for erosion control. No erosional features noted.
LWB 13 -4
Active
Mr. Wanstedt opened pressure valve, no mine gas present, fence
materials on site but not installed. This pad exhibits a 9% grade, as
measured by manual inclinometer, putting it just outside of the 8% max
grade used in SEDCAD demonstrations to support surface roughening
as sediment control. Observed adjacent 4" nitrogen injection line. Topsoil
stockpile properly marked.
LWB 13 -5
Active
Light rain. Borehole fenced off, surface stable, ripped, and seeded but
barren within 25' radius of borehole as required by MSHA. Signage
indicating "danger," "hazardous gas," and "no smoking." Small perimeter
berm as sediment control to prevent OSIs. Topsoil stockpile properly
marked.
LWB 12 -5
Reclaimed
Ripped, roughened, and seeded in fall, 2014. Missing monument.
LWB 10 -4
Reclaimed
Reclaimed approx. 2011. Casing below grade, no monument. Ripped,
roughened, and seeded. Stable surface.
LWB 9 -3
Reclaimed
Reclaimed approx. 2007, good grass establishment, surface stable.
LWB 13 -3
Active
Fenced off, observed mine gas leak at flange, it was apparent PUF had
been used in a past attempt to stop the leak. Surface roughened and
seeded, very little veg present, no sediment deposition observed.
Extensive tumble mustard.
LWB 13 -2
Active
No mine gas present upon valve opening. Fenced off. Topsoil salvage
pile very small, minimal vegetation, proper signage. Topsoil cover at the
entire site is very thin with some salinity issues. Observed red - tailed
hawk, a chipmunk, and elk scat.
LWB 13 -1
Active
Fenced off. Surface stable, ripped, and seeded. Minimal vegetation.
Topsoil pile very small, properly marked. Tumble mustard present.
