20115 Annual Reclamation Report <br />Southfield Mine <br />Maya, 20'06 <br />Page 4 <br />reestablishment in the Loadout Area. Through ongoing discussions with the DMG, limited <br />interseeding {25 percent) of the reclaimed Loadout areas was approved by the DMG, with the <br />understanding that this Limited work would not affect the current liability schedule (Id-year <br />period initiated by secondary seeding in 1999). <br />EFCI has revegetated a cumulative total of approximately 82.1 acres at the Mine Site and <br />Loadout arcs as shown on the attached Annual Reclamation Report form. Maps accompanying <br />this report show all revegetated areas, with the exception of approximately 1.5 acres of minor <br />road segments revegetated in 2003 at the North Well and Corley Well areas. <br />The previously revegetated areas are shown on Map 1, Mine Site Reclamation, Map 2, <br />Ancillary Facility Areas Reclamation, and Map 3, Loadout Area Reclamation. <br />Weed Control Activities <br />The minor occurrence of Whitetop weed was no longer found to be occurring during the 2005 <br />growing season, <br />One small plot of Knappweed was discovered adjacent to and at the west edge of the parking lot <br />on the Vento property. The agent with the Fremont County Weed control Agency sprayed the <br />Knappweed with the certified herbicide. <br />EFCI will continue to inspect these areas and will implement necessary weed control measures <br />consistent with approved management plans. <br />Conclusions <br />By executing approved reclamation and maintenance practices, EFCI is effectively promoting the <br />Southfield Mine to achieve its approved postmining land use capabilities. <br />
