Pond 12 was discharging clear effluent. The Pond 12 flume has been cleared of <br />vegetation and relevelled. This repair is acceptable.

As the inspector was entering onto the road, <br />the last of the vehicles were pulling out. There had been vehicle traffic down the Yoast access road. There were a <br />number of pick-ups parked on the west side of the corrals in a hunting camp. The vehicles were parked off the <br />permit boundary. <br />There was no sign of vehicles travelling the access road recently (while the road was muddy) past the corrals. <br />The gate to the mine area was not locked. The access road was in good shape south of the corrals. The area had <br />received several good precipitation event in the several days preceding the inspection. The roads were damp but <br />not too soft or muddy. Runoff was directed appropriately off of the access road. No ponded areas were <br />encountered on the road. <br />REVEGETATION — Rule 4.15 <br />Vegetative Cover; Timing: <br />Pond 10 embankment outslope has a sizable patch of Canada thistle and Houndstongue. Fall weed control <br />effort on this patch of noxious weeds is advised. Some of the Jointed goatgrass on the top of the Pond 10 <br />embankment is re -sprouting. A fall treatment on this winter annual noxious species is advised as well. Control of <br />weed patches can result in bare patches. Broadcast seeding of the approved permanent seed mix needs to be a part <br />of the weed control efforts as well. <br />SLIDES and DAMAGE - Rule 4.12: <br />SCC has repaired, filled in the nick point, and roughened the head of the gully previously identified at the <br />top of YPM-7.
