The inspection <br />involved viewing two aerial photographs taken by Harry Ranney of DMG on April 1, 1998. <br />Weather conditions on site appeared clear. Snow cover was scattered throughout the mine site. <br />Backfilling & Grading Backfilling and grading activity was noted in the upper most portion of the <br />Wolf Creek Pit. No equipment was noted in the vicinity of the reclaimed area. The upper 500 <br />feet of the pit has been partially reclaimed. The spoil piles in this area have been reduced and <br />pushed into the bottom of the pit. The North-East highwall still remains in this area. No <br />backfilling or grading was noted in the Wadge Pit. The Wadge Pit has a small amount of coal <br />remaining. All backfilling and grading is scheduled for completion in 1998. <br />
