~i <br />II. COMMENTS -COMPLIANCE <br />Below are comments on the inspection. The comments include discussion of observations made <br />during the inspection. Comments also describe any enforcement actions taken during the inspection <br />and the facts or evidence supporting the enforcement action. <br />Wildlife <br />Signs of heavy recent elk use were evident in various locations along the haul road and at the portal <br />area. Two coveys of chukar partridge were observed along the road. <br />Offsite Support Facilities <br />At the Loma loadout site, seeded wheatgrass had recently initiated spring growth. The grasses, from <br />the seeding in 2004 are scattered throughout the site, with patches of relatively high density <br />interspersed with patches of lower density. There has been poor establishment of seeded shrubs, with <br />shrub establishment primarily limited to a small area at the far west end of the site. Winter annual <br />mustards (Chorispora and Sisvmbrium) have also recently initiated growth, although density of annual <br />weeds seems to be lower than last spring. <br />The mine I.D. sign at the loadout needs to be updated. <br />A couple old tires were dumped near the sign, and need to be properly disposed of. <br />5 <br />
