teve_getation <br />Due to warming sad conddions. cool season grasses and fortis were beginning to grow. <br />Cheatgrass is abundant in the native and reclaimed areas with some seeded species such <br />as western wheatgrass observed. Vegetation appears adequate to control erosion on <br />reclaimed areas. <br />Arr Resource Protection <br />If dry conditions persist, dust production generated from haul truck traffic on the surface of <br />the refuse disposal area could become a problem. The operator should implement watering <br />or other measures to comply with Rule 4.17 if and when necessary. <br />Reclamation Success <br />The reclaimed area of the East Portal was traversed on foot. This reclauned area is <br />immediately adjacent to Scullion Gulch. Sediment and runoff is controlled by berms, silt <br />fence drain structures, and silt fence. Some sections of the silt fence require maintenance <br />due to wear and tear over the winter season Sdt drain structures appeared in good <br />conditions and berms were intact. Surface roughening on the reclaimed surface is significant <br />and seems effective in reducing runoff until vegetation becomes established. <br />
