October 21, 2015 C-1982-057/Seneca II -W Mine JHB <br />The well by the pump house located southeast of Pond 6 is partially excavated and it appears repairs are on-going <br />in this location. <br />SCC has replanted junipers and pines at the living snow fence area. SCC has installed a 7-8 foot fence around the <br />transplanted seedlings to protect them from ungulate depredation. Some pines had already been gnawed and <br />clipped off. Based on the stripping of the bark at the soil interface, the inspector thinks that porcupine or other <br />small animals are getting under the wooden snow fence. <br />REVEGETATION — Rule 4.15 <br />Vegetative Cover; Timing: <br />Cattle were grazing in the north east pasture. This is the area in the stock tank ST -20 and Stock tank ST - <br />18 area. Stocking rate appeared lite, and animals did not appear to be congregating in one area. <br />Cattle had grazed in the Pond 6 watershed earlier in the season. Observation of the remaining vegetation noted <br />that considerable biomass remained after the grazing. Stocking rates appear to have been light that excessive <br />grazing had not had a negative impact on the reclaimed area. <br />SUPPORT FACILITIES - Rule 4.04: <br />Two Camper trailers were parked at the shop/warehouse area. The campers were connected to the electric <br />power at the shop area. The inspector did no encounter the hunters during the inspection. <br />The shop facilities area has been cleaned up of debris & stored items. The area has been graded to allow for <br />drainage during the winter months. One gray trailer building remains on the site. The Warehouse was closed and <br />the area around it clean and in good condition. A CAT 956G front end loader, a small D4 dozer, two pick-up <br />trucks, a small water truck, and a trailer were the only equipment remaining at the shop area. <br />SIGNS AND MARKERS — Rule 4.02: <br />SCC continues to update the mine ID signs to assure that current phone contact information is contained <br />on the signs. <br />DOCUMENTS RECEIVED NA <br />OTHER (SPECIFY) NA <br />ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS/COMPLIANCE <br />No enforcement actions were taken as a result of this inspection. <br />Number of Partial Inspection this Fiscal Year: 2 <br />Number of Complete Inspections this Fiscal Year: 2 <br />Page 4 of 7 <br />
