July 18, 2017 C-1981-020/Munger Canyon Mine JHB <br /> <br /> <br />Number of Partial Inspection this Fiscal Year: 0 <br />Number of Complete Inspections this Fiscal Year: 1 <br /> <br /> Page 3 of 6 <br /> <br /> <br />No problems were noted with drainage off the reclaimed areas. <br /> <br />GENERAL MINE PLAN COMPLIANCE: <br /> The only maintenance item noted was continue with noxious weed control. Species noted Perennial <br />pepperweed (Lepidium latifolium) and Jointed goatgrass (Aegilops cylindrica) which are both on the State Noxious <br />Weed B list and require control. <br /> <br />ROADS – Rule 4.03 <br />Drainage 4.03.1(4)/4.03.2(4) <br />Reclamation 4.03.1(7)/4.03.2(7): <br /> The remaining ranch road up Munger Canyon remains in fair condition and is drivable. The creek <br />crossing was dry and able to be crossed with the vehicles. The gate at the Salt Creek Bridge was locked <br />appropriately. Salt Creek was dry at the bridge. <br /> <br />RECLAMATION SUCCESS - Rule 4.15, Rule 3: <br /> Vegetation continues to fill in on the reseeded topsoil stockpile footprint on the north side of the access <br />road. Perennial grasses are becoming established in this area. Perennial pepperweed, a noxious weed, is <br />becoming established along the perimeters of the reseeded topsoil area. CAM needs to enact weed co ntrol on <br />these plants. On the south side of the access road in the reclaimed pond and material storage area, Jointed <br />goatgrass is present. It is present in areas that had previously been mulched with straw mulch. Due to the limited <br />area where the mulch was, and the goatgrass seems confined to the mulched area, it appears that the this noxious <br />weed came in with the mulch. Jointed goatgras is a winter annual and best treated in the fall. It is recommended <br />that CAM Mining consult with the local County Weed agent for the best treatment for this species. Seeded <br />perennial species are becoming established in this area as well. <br /> <br />The reclaimed haul road to the reclaimed portal and fan was walked. The vegetation on the reclaimed roadway <br />remains excellent. Perennial pepperweed individual plants were noted sporadically all the way to the portal area. <br />Other than Cheatgrass and Perennial pepperweed, few other weed species were encountered. The established <br />vegetation community remains in excellent condition with excellent diversity. <br /> <br />DOCUMENTS RECEIVED NA <br />OTHER (SPECIFY) NA <br /> <br />ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS/COMPLIANCE <br /> <br />No enforcement actions were initiated as a result of this inspection, nor are any pending. <br />
