i' l <br />r <br />• ~'. <br />The areas seeded during 1992 are shown as areas 3R and 4R on Figure 1, Refuse Disposal Site <br />1992 Reclamation Map. <br />No augmented seeding or culture] practices were done during the period of this report. A concern <br />about woody plant establishment on the refuse pile was raised by OMLR following review of EFCI's 1991 <br />Annual Reclamation Report. EFCI subsequently committed to transplanting shrubs on the refuse pile during <br />1993 in accordance with the permit application. <br />Previous permanent revegetated areas are primarily located on the coal refuse pile. A total of <br />approximately 8.2 acres of topsoiled refuse pile has been revegetated prior to 1992. The locations and dates <br />of said revegetation ate shown in detail an Figure 1, Refuse Disposal Site 1992 Reclamation Map. <br />EFCI did not perform any additional monitoring of reclaimed areas during the reporting period. <br />Conclusions <br />Southfield's reclamation program is accomplishing timely completion of permanent reclamation <br />within the scope of active mining operations in order to minimize overall disturbed area and promote <br />establishment of the sirte to its approved post-mining land use. In addition, EFCI's approved monitoring <br />plan adequately monitors the reclamation process and its level of success. <br />
