July 28, 2015 C-1994-082/Yoast Mine JHB <br />facilities area, Exhibit 12-1. This noxious weed patch needs fall control, and permanent seed after control to keep <br />the site from being re -invaded by invasive species. This patch of Jointed goatgrass is approximately 250 ft. long <br />by 90 ft. wide. <br />Light use roads throughout the reclaimed site were holding up well. <br />Repairs to the gully are still needed along YPM 3-2 just west of the shrub plot. Close out with Scott Cowman <br />indicated that repairs are scheduled mid-August. <br />RECLAMATION SUCCESS - Rule 4.15, Rule 3: <br />The shrub plot on the east side of the fence along the saddle of the North Pit has a healthy invasion of <br />Musk thistle. The inspector encountered Dennis Bugay representing SCC. Dennis was spraying weed patches <br />throughout the mine site and sprayed this patch on 7/28. <br />There was a patch of Canada thistle on the north side of YPM-6-2. This location was pointed out to Dennis Bugay <br />while he was spraying for noxious weeds on other portions of the mine. A small patch of Perennial pepperweed <br />was observed in YPM 6-2. Dennis B. was informed of this patch. He indicated that he already had it slated for <br />control. <br />REVEGETATION — Rule 4.15 <br />Vegetative Cover; Timing: <br />Vegetation on the South side of the north pit is very good with good diversity. <br />Early season moisture has resulted in very healthy and robust vegetation throughout the reclaimed area. <br />Accordingly, weed species have also benefited from the additional moisture. SCC is continuing to implement <br />weed control measures throughout the Yoast mine site. <br />Boxelders transplanted along YPM 6-3 are surviving well. <br />SIGNS AND MARKERS — Rule 4.02: <br />SCC needs to update mine identification signs around mine site with current phone number. The number <br />shown on the signs is no longer valid. A sticker with the appropriate contact number would be appropriate. <br />DOCUMENTS RECEIVED: <br />OTHER (SPECIFY): NA <br />ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS/COMPLIANCE <br />No enforcement actions were initiated as a result of this inspection, nor are any pending. <br />Number of Partial Inspection this Fiscal Year: 1 <br />Number of Complete Inspections this Fiscal Year: 1 <br />Page 4 of 7 <br />
