2005 Waterline Replacement <br />This site was reseeded in the fall of 2005. Reasonably good seedling density was <br />observed early in 2006 but subsequent drought conditions resulted in little growth later in <br />the year. It is unknown if these seedlings will be successful in reviving for subsequent <br />years or if there is sufficient viable seed remaining to sprout to establish adequate <br />vegetation densities. <br />LWB7 Drill Pads <br />These sites were reseeded in the fall of 2005. Like the 2005 Waterline Replacement, <br />little can be ascertained from observations in 2006 due to adverse environmental <br />conditions. <br />Return Shafts RS-i and RS-2 Pads and Roads <br />These sites were seeded in 2004 with the exception of RS-1 pad which was seeded in <br />2003. Like the other sites little current year's growth was observed due to the <br />environmental conditions. 2005 observations are more indicative of the health of these <br />sites than 2006 observations. <br />Haul Road -County Road Intersection Reeradin¢ <br />This site was newly reclaimed in 2004. 2006 showed little current year's growth due to <br />drought conditions. Good establishment of perennial vegetation was evident from prior <br />year's growth. <br />Deeas Boreholes and Explorafion Pad SAES <br />A representative sample of degas borehole and exploration pad SAES were observed for <br />this report. As discussed earlier, little to no current year's vegetative production was <br />observed due to the drought and cottontail rabbit grazing. Several sites had the dominate <br />ground cover being rabbit pellets. Observations from 2005 with photos clearly showed <br />that the conditions encountered in 2006 were atypical and that substantial perennial <br />vegetation is present on these sites. <br />
