Southfield C-81-014 <br />27 June 2007 ~~ <br />Page 2/2 <br />Backfilling and Grading: -The backfilled facilities areas remain stable. No cracking or <br />settling has been observed in the backfilled areas. There were no erosional problems <br />observed on these areas. The site received a lot of snow this past winter and it seems <br />to have held up very well. <br />Processing Waste: -The refuse pile appeared to be stable and well vegetated at the <br />time of the inspection. I did not inspect the hole that formed in the refuse pile in the <br />last several months. There were no erosional problems noted on the pile at the time <br />of the inspection. <br />Topsoil: -The topsoil pile at the parking area and the refuse pile were both well <br />vegetated and stable at the time of the inspection. Both piles had the proper ID <br />signs. No erosional problems were noted on either pile at the time of the inspection. <br />Revegetation/Reclamation Success: -Overall the mine site and the loadout are very <br />well vegetated. There are no erosional problems at either site. The loadout looks <br />better than I have ever seen it (my last inspection was in the spring of 2004). <br />Overall the reclamation at the Southfield Mine, to date, appears to be a success. <br />
