f <br />INTRODUCTION <br />This annual reclamation monitoring report has been prepared by Energy <br />Fuels Coal in accordance with their approved Mining and Reclamation plan <br />which requires that all reclaimed areas be sampled during years 4, 7, 9 and 10 <br />of the bond liability period and that the results of these monitoring efforts be <br />submitted to the Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Division (CMLRD). <br />This report contains the results of field data collected on November 12 <br />and 13, 1991 for the 1983 and 1987 Refuse Pile Reclamation Seedings. All of <br />these data were collected and analyzed by Kent Crofts and Seth Bolin of IME, <br />an environmental consulting firm located in Yampa, Colorado. The monitoring <br />program conducted in 1991 employed sampling methodologies which are <br />described in more detail in the Southfield Mine Permit. <br />It must be pointed out that reclamation monitoring has been conducted <br />on reclaimed areas at the Southfield Mine biennially since 1987. To the degree <br />that space allows, the results obtained from this present evaluation have been <br />compared to the data obtained from these previous monitoring efforts. However, <br />space will not allow for a complete analysis of these data over time. In order to <br />more fully understand the revegetation trends at the Southfield Mine, the <br />reviewer is requested to consult the 1987 and 1989 Southfield Mine Annual <br />Reclamation Monitoring Reports to more fully understand the revegetation <br />trends present on these reclaimed areas. <br />1 <br />
