MWCA, Inc. <br /> Date: January 12, 2016 <br /> Reference: Permit # M-1977-227 <br /> Subject: Mesita Hill Pit Annual Report for 2015 <br /> The only activity conducted at Mesita Hill in 2015 was monitoring of the <br /> success of vegetation growth from the revegetation conducted in November <br /> 2008 after completion of the 2008 reclamation activities, and minor spot <br /> spraying of weeds. <br /> Reclamation completed in 2008 included site ground contouring, filling in <br /> smaller pits, and larger pits contoured to allow livestock grazing. Available <br /> growth material was spread as far as possible. Contouring outside the <br /> permit boundary was also conducted as possible without disturbing mature <br /> vegetation. <br /> The site was visited on June 20 and July 28, 2015 to monitor vegetation <br /> success. See attached Bamberg Ecological report dated August 2015. This <br /> report noted that vegetation cover and diversity is continuing to improve, <br /> and noxious weed cover is not present. <br /> No new disturbances or reclamation have occurred during 2015, thus the <br /> areas shown by the map submitted with the 2008 report dated February 5, <br /> 2009 are unchanged. An updated map is included with this report. <br /> RECEIVED <br /> Paul L.
