May 18, 2015 C-1981-025/North Thompson Creek Mine RAR <br />exception of: <br />• Possible slumping at the outslope between pond T2 and refuse pile where the ditch stops discharging water; Photo 4. <br />• Trees growing in Refuse Pile pond embankment. <br />AIR RESOURCE PROTECTIONRule 4.17.- <br />There <br />.17: <br />There were no indications of sediment or dust movement off site. <br />.:[ . :L .:I jill0 , <br />Contemporaneous Reclamation 4.14.1; Approximate Original Contour 4.14.2; Highwall Elimination 4.14.1(2)(f); Steep <br />Slopes 4.14.2,4.27; Handling of Acid and Toxic Materials 4.14.3; Stabilization of Rills and Gullies 4.14.6: <br />The portal and bench area appeared stable with no signs of slumping or bulging. <br />PEVEGETATIONRule 4.15: <br />Vegetative Cover; Timing: <br />The native vegetation was emerging well due to a wet spring. There is a subtle transition between the reclaimed and the <br />undisturbed areas. Weeds appeared to be at a minimum, with the exception of some thistles and knapweed that due to the <br />plethora of rain were beginning to emerge in a couple of locations at the time of this inspection. My suggestion would be <br />to treat any biennial, non native thistles this spring and before bolt, and again in fall treat the rosettes. Timing of <br />treatment for noxious weeds is crucial. <br />• Thistles <br />cnanner to xeiuse rue <br />Photo la: Wood and piping refuse. <br />Number of Partial Inspection this Fiscal Year: 1 <br />Number of Complete Inspections this Fiscal Year: 4 <br />Page 3 of 9 <br />Photo lb.
