The mine has been reclaimed and has undergone a Phase I bond release for the entire site and a Phase II bond release for the 720 Pit and Pit 1. The weather was warm and overcast ground was dry. Sians and Markers: All of the necessary signs were posted at the mine site and loadout (Mine ID signs, topsoil stockpile signs, permit boundary signs, etc.). Roads: -The access road to the loadout was well maintained and in good condition. There did, however, appear to be a great deal of sediment washing onto the road and just inside the gate from the recently reclaimed lumber mill that is adjacent to the loadout. The Operator may want to contact the owner/contractor to see if sediment control devices can be place by the road to keep the sediment off of the vegetation. -The permanent light use road (former haul road) that remains on the site is also well maintained and in good condition. Some minor rutting occurred over winter but it is still not a problem. Hvdroloaic Balance: - Pond A was dry. The pond was well vegetated and in good condition. - Pond B was dry.

None of the drainages showed any signs of erosion. - The pond at the loadout was dry. The pond was well vegetated and in good condition. Fish and Wildlife: There were several antelope grazing on the reclaimed Marr Pit areas. Reveaetation/Reclamation Success: The entire mine site has been revegetated. The vegetative cover looked good. Many of the grasses appeared to be dead or dormant, though, due to the very dry conditions of the area. The mine was used for grazing several months ago. There did not appear to be any ill effects from the grazing at the time of the inspection. The vegetation at the loadout was also dead or dormant.
