July 28, 2015 C-1994-082/Yoast Mine JHB <br />Culvert YB-2 needs sediment cleared from the inlet. The outlet of this culvert is clear. A healthy patch of Canada <br />thistle is well established at the outlet to Culvert Y132 and needs weed control. <br />YPM-21, YPM-21A, and YPM-21B in the North Pit were all holding up well. Surge tanks on the east side of the <br />North pit were dry. Musk thistle was patchy but infrequent on the east side of the north pit. Weed control of the <br />larger patches is warranted. <br />Stock tank 11A was holding water but water elevation was approximately 1 foot below the discharge elevation. <br />YPM-9 and YPM-10 both looked fine with no maintenance of either of these two large permanent drainages. <br />ST -1 was holding a cloudy pool of water several feet below the discharge spill way. <br />YPM-1-2 was walked the legnth to stock tank 12A. The access route adjacent to YPM-1-2 used for equipment <br />access dor previous repairs has limited vegetation establishment. Limited application of approved seed mix is <br />needed to keep this strip from becoming a site for invasive species establishment. (Weed control measures). <br />SCC was spraying a large patch of Musk thistle on 7/28 on the east side of YPM-1-3. YPM-1-3 drainage was in <br />good condition and holding up well. <br />YPM-18 and YPM-19 were both in good repair. YPM-6-1 remains in good condition as well. <br />A Spring was noted emerging in YPM-6-1 just to the south of where YPM 6-1 enters the undisturbed treed area. <br />(North of YPM-19). Referral to Exhibit 7-1 indicates that this may be a surface expression of YSPG4. Another <br />spring was noted further south in YPM-1-3 that appears to coincide with YSPG5. The northern spring (YSPG4) <br />had a healthy flow. No effort was made to measure the flow rate as the flow was within the rip rap of the <br />permanent channel. <br />Stock tank 12A was holding a stagnant pool of water. Although the water level was approximately 4 feet below <br />the riser elevation, a slow drip was seeping from the outlet of the riser. SCC needs to investigate if there is <br />seepage occurring within the embankment. <br />Pond 12 was discharging. The pond 12 flume is not level. <br />YPM 5-1 to the south of stock tank 12A is holding up well. <br />Neither pond 13 or 14 were discharging though both ponds held water. <br />ROADS — Rule 4.03 <br />Drainage 4.03.1(4)/4.03.2(4); Surfacing and Maintenance4.03.1(5) and (6)/4.03.2(5) and (6): <br />The main access road to Pond 10 was in good condition. <br />A large patch of Jointed Goatgrass is still present on the north side of the LU -1 at the location of the reclaimed <br />Number of Partial Inspection this Fiscal Year: 1 <br />Number of Complete Inspections this Fiscal Year: 1 <br />Page 3 of 7 <br />
