Mr. Graham Roberts <br />Page 2 <br />14 August 2018 <br />and graded approximately 44.0 acres of land to final contour in 2017. This parcel is situated in the Z <br />Pit and corresponds specifically to parcel ZA17. <br />(c) The location and the number of acres topsoiled during 2017 are discussed in section 1.2.3 and <br />depicted on Map 12017 the Annual Reclamation Report Map of Appendix W. The number of acres <br />coincides with the number of acres backfilled and graded. This parcel is situated in the Z Pit and <br />corresponds specifically to parcel ZA17. <br />(d) Trapper permanently seeded 44.0 acres of land in 2017. The location and the number of acres <br />seeded during 2017 are discussed in section 1.2.4 and depicted on Map 1 of Appendix W. Trapper <br />included an invoice from Stevenson Intermountain Seed, Inc. in Section 7 of Appendix W illustrating <br />the seeds used for reclamation. <br />(e) Section 1.2.5 of Appendix W discusses the cultural practices conducted in 2017. <br />(f) Map 1 of Appendix W depicts all previously planted parcels at the site. Each parcel <br />identifies the acres and the year seeding occured. <br />Rule 2.04.13 (2): <br />Section 3 of the report indicates that improvements and repairs were conducted on reconstructed <br />drainages. New drainages constructed in 2017 represent approximately 1,418 linear feet. Drainage <br />repairs or improvements were completed on approximately 25.4 miles (134,102 linear feet) in 2017. <br />Table 5-1 provides geographic locations for each of the topsoil stockpiles and the approximate volume <br />stored in each pile. Topsoil stockpiles are depicted on Map M1 in Appendix W. <br />Stock tanks and dozer basins were updated through 2017 as per Section 6.0 of the report. <br />In accordance with section 3.6.3.5 of Trapper's permit, they must provide the Division with the <br />proposed list of plant species to be used each year. It appears the number of species for plant type <br />(grasses, forbes and, shrubs) and the amount of seeds to be applied are in accordance with Trapper's <br />approved seed mixtures. <br />On 22 May 2018, DRMS field verified Trappers ARR Map (Map 1), specifically parcel ZA17, the 2017 <br />backfilled and graded area ,for compliance with approximate original contour. The associated May 2018 <br />inspection report details the process of field verification and is available in DRMS's document storage <br />system. The data collected and the associated analysis, maps and charts for verifying and approving the <br />2017 ARR and, the achievement of approximate original contour, are presented below. <br />
