methods of stabilization have been discussed earlier in this report. The results of these efforts are presented in Tables 3, 4 and 5. The data tables indicate that the relative volume of sediment generated from the mine bench outslopes has been reduced as a result of the project activities. A relatively greater degree of success was attained from the 2004 revegetation project than what was realized from the 1999 effort. In part, this was due to the lack of vegetative success in 1999 as a result of the regional drought experienced in the area. Some degree of a lesser germination potential can also be attributed to the loss of mulch cover in the fall of 1999. The greater success of the 2004 effort can be attributed to a more typical weather pattern, which allowed for greater moisture availability and a resultant increase in germination potential. The use of a tackifier to hold the mulch onto the slopes was a significant change in the scope of the project when compared to the 1999 work. Securing the mulch to the outslope surface aided greatly in shading the seed, retaining moisture on the slopes and adding organic material to the slopes. Another significant factor in reducing sediment generation following the 2004 project were the steps taken to disperse the contributory flows to the slopes from upland areas. Manipulation of contributing flows, creating a more dispersed flow pattern through the use of straw wattles and intensive tree planting, helped to reduce gully activity, reduce water velocities and increase slope stability. This influence can be observed at the Mine 5 Fan site. The sediment yield model shows that sediment generation decreased, albeit slightly, following the 2004 work, even though a significant ground cover was not established at the site. Therefore, the decrease in sediment is attributable to water in-put manipulation at the crest of the outslope. The mid-slope tree band plot established at Mine 1 East in 2000 was successful. Approximately sixty to seventy percent of the trees survived. The root systems of the trees should act to hold relatively neaz surface particles in place, while the stems will tend to help disrupt surface flows, resulting in decreased flow velocity and reduced gully development while encouraging stabilization of existing gullies. As they mature, the trees may also help to establish an understory vegetative community by providing shade to the slopes, and a somewhat shallower slope angle at the tree band locations. For these reasons the tree banding was replicated at most of the outslopes, and at multiple elevations at each outslope. The shrub and willow plantings that were incorporated into the 2000 tree planting test plot on the Mine 1 East outslope were much less successful than the tree planting work. Virtually none of the shrubs and willows survived for an appreciable length of time at the locations planted. It is likely that the willows failed simply as a result of a lack of available moisture. The shrubs lack of survival may also be partially attributable to a lack of moisture, but it is thought that at Mine 1 East "soil" shear of the plant stem may have played a significant role in plant mortality. Neaz surface particle movement was observed to occur in this location. The shearing movement of outslope particles across the relatively fragile shrub stems may have resulted in the lack of appreciable survival 14
