Radium Hill Group Annual Report <br />The September Morn Mine site was inspected by the Division on August 21, 2003, as part <br />of the normal monitoring program. The inspector noted that waste rock had been reshaped <br />and contoured by pocking to prevent erosion, and that pocking had prevented major erosion <br />and sedimentation of the drainage basin. Vegetative cover was estimated at 10%-15%, but <br />it was noted that diverse species of grasses were established. <br />At Umetco's request, a second inspection was held at the site on November 6, 2002, with <br />Umetco, BLM and Division representatives attending. The parties discussed the site <br />reclamation status and observed results of the recent reseeding. Newly germinated plant <br />species were noted. <br />A November 2002 BLM letter acknowledged that Umetco had reseeded the mine azea and <br />that boulder placement and pocking have worked effectively in maintaining slope stability. <br />BLM representatives and the Division inspector agreed to meet with Umetco's <br />representative in late May to determine if site vegetative cover meets BLM standards. <br />A map is not included with this report as there aze no new areas of disturbance. <br />RECEIVED <br />FE8 2 8 2003 <br />Division of Minerals and Geology <br />
