3 <br /> contoured and reclamation seeded. In 2014 additional production wells were closed and reclaimed and in <br /> 2015 all of the remaining production wells were plugged and abandoned and the pads and lateral roads to <br /> these wells were re-contoured and reclaimed. Material that was excavated when the well field was <br /> initially constructed was put back into the original contour for each pad and road. No new area was <br /> excavated. Activity in 2016, included demolition of piping and ancillary structures on the two building <br /> sites and plugging and abandonment of ground water wells. All remaining pads, lateral roads and the <br /> main well field road were re-contoured and reclamation seeded by the end of December 2016. Storm <br /> water inspections are completed every two weeks by a certified Storm Water Specialist. Work in 2017— <br /> 2018 will include reclamation monitoring and if necessary additional seeding by hand or by air and <br /> noxious weed control with backpack sprayers. Additional measures may be instituted to restrict vehicle <br /> access to the reclamation area. <br /> 5. Does the mine operate more than 180 days per year? YES NO <br /> 6.
