A small amount of damage (a single track) was seen on <br />the substation itself. No erosion problems were seen with reclamation at Substation #2 or the road to it. <br />The MW -NW road and the reclaimed spur off of this road were inspected. No erosion or weed patches were seen <br />on these roads. At the main road to MW -NW, it is still apparent that this is a two -track. The small area around the <br />former well site is mostly devoid of vegetation. At the north end of the spur, the recently reclaimed areas are still <br />mostly bare. <br />Number of Partial Inspection this Fiscal Year: 4 <br />Number of Complete Inspections this Fiscal Year: 2 <br />Page 2 of 5 <br />
