Colowyo C-1981-019
19 December 2007�
Pg 6/6
Revegetation: - In addition to the 85.6 acres that were seeded in the East Pit (as
mentioned above in the Topsoil section) Tony indicated that he seeded the West
Taylor Pond embankment, topsoil stockpile and borrow area.
Excess Spoil: - The reclaimed portions of the West Pit spoil pile were covered with
snow but appeared to be well vegetated and stable at the time of the inspection.
Runoff from this portion of the pile goes into the West Pit pond. No erosional problems
were noted of the pile at the time of the inspection. The upper portion of the pile is
truck-dumped spoil. This part of the pile appeared to be stable at the time of the
inspection. The reclamation plan calls for the top 75 feet of this pile to be hauled to
the West Pit to achieve AOC.
- The Streeter fill was covered with snow but it appeared to be well vegetated and
stable at the time of the inspection. No erosional problems were noted on the fill.
This pile has gone through a Phase II bond release. The fill was well vegetated at the
time of the inspection.
- The Section 16 fill was inaccessible at the time of the inspection (and will probably
remain so until April or May).
Overall, the operations and reclamation at the Colowyo Mine are being conducted
in accordance with the approved plans contained within the PAP. The operation is
doing a good job ensuring compliance with all of the Rules.
