<br />William J. Cater November 15, 1996 <br />Re: 1996 Annual Reclamation Report <br />(2) Weed Control: <br />Thistles and Russian Knapweed were controlled by spot <br />spraying individual plants and patches of plants with a <br />portable spray system applying Banvel and 2,4,D. Areas <br />sprayed, as needed, included the disturbed areas from <br />Sanborn Creek Mine portal to the West Yard, Substation <br />No. 3, and the Bear and Hubbard Creek sites. <br />Final note regarding the request for submittal of a <br />reclamation map: Since the permit area for the Sanborn <br />Creek and Somerset Mines is over 9,000 acres, and the <br />total reclamation for the 71.8 acres disturbed is <br />approximately 6.8 acres, any single base map would be <br />meaningless, and any attempt to show disturbed areas, <br />reclaimed areas, what year final seeding occurred, when <br />backfilling and grading was completed, topsoil <br />replacement depths, seed mix used, etc., would be <br />confusing and difficult to present, at best. Instead, <br />any review of this Annual Reclamation Report should be <br />done with reference to the numerous individual area maps <br />in the approved permit document already in the Division <br />files. <br />XBOW 5 <br />
