One subject is Canada Thistle, the second is <br />rip-rap, size of rock. <br />Numerous azeas throughout the mine site were sprayed for Canada Thistle last <br />September, 2004. I am advised that the spray used, Tordon and Z-4-D, has a bi-annual <br />application term - -that the preferced application term is two years. Accordingly, we have <br />set a tentative schedule with the local weed coordinator to spray again next summer <br />(2006). <br />During August, 2005, we installed several rock dams in ditches at the mine site. <br />To the best of our knowledge, there is but one source of "angular" broken rock locally. In <br />effort to downsize the rip-rap that was on hand at the mine, the contractor sorted through <br />and hauled in their smallest angular rock which we blended/mixed with the larger sizes <br />that was stored at the mine. We hope that the combination of sizes will interlock <br />sufficiently to minimize erosion. <br />If you have any questions or comments on the matter, please contact me at your <br />convenience. <br />Sincerely, , / <br />p v. <br />rge , .Patterson <br />Gen Mine Manager <br />
