The 0.4 acres was reclaimed after work associated with TR-69 was completed in the fall of 2019. <br /> The reclaimed area was stable with vegetative cover(Photos 1 and 2). There were no indications of erosional <br /> features. The disturbed area boundary was marked with T-posts. A mine identification sign was observed on one <br /> of the south facing T-posts. There appeared to have been no further activity by the landowner on Tract 71 since <br /> the Division's September 2022 inspection. Much of the western portion of Tract 71 has been bladed. The <br /> Division did not see any new impacts from the landowner to the reclamation within the disturbed boundary <br /> markers. The straw waddles located on the southern and western portions of the TR-69 repair area were intact and <br /> no off-site impacts were observed. <br /> DOCUMENTS RECEIVED: None <br /> OTHER(SPECIFY): None <br /> Number of Partial Inspection this Fiscal Year: 4 <br /> Number of Complete Inspections this Fiscal Year: 1 <br /> Page 2 of 4 <br />
