;. <br />(2) The additional monitoring portion of this report consists of <br />three separate sections; a discussion of the results of an <br />annual rill and gully inspection, an evaluation of <br />revegetation success, and a report on the hydrologic status of <br />the Bourg Mine which underwent final reclamation during the <br />Fall of 1988. <br />Rill and Gully Inspection <br />A rill and gully inspection was conducted at the Bourg <br />property on September 30, 1996. At that time it was <br />noted that the sediment control system has worked as <br />designed. All terraces were found to be in good <br />condition. No new reportable rills or gullies were <br />located. <br />Flatiron Companies continues to monitor two previously <br />reported rills, 1990, both of which have been stablized <br />and is monitoring the north portion of the perimeter road <br />for potential rill development. Also the slope to the <br />southwest of the gravel pqd is being closely watched for <br />potential problems. <br />The settlement crack located at the bottom of the slope <br />at the north end of the property has been filled with <br />topsoil. Flatiron Companies will continue to monitor the <br />crack for further settlement. <br />Vegetation Survey <br />The vegetation survey was conducted by Warren Keammerer, <br />Ph.d. on August 13, 1996. The results of that survey are <br />attached as Appendix A. It is Flatiron Companies' and <br />its consultant's assessment that the revegetation effort <br />is progressing well. <br />Hydrologic Survey <br />Well depths were measured and water samples were <br />collected on May 26, 1996 and September 30, 1996. The <br />results of those samples are attached (Appendix B). <br />There is no indication that the mining and reclamation <br />activities at the Bourg Mine have had any adverse impact <br />on the hydrology of the area. <br />2 <br />
