Pit 6: Center area of pit 6 has characteristic ponding as observed in previous inspections. Frogs heard at <br /> this puddle. Few Houndstongue noted on permanent roadway but not seen on reclaimed vegetated area. <br /> No other noxious weed species noted on reclaimed area. Backfilled slopes appear stable and do not <br /> eslubit signs of slumping or gullying. <br /> Pits 2/3:Access road to Pit 2/3 has been graded and is good condition, except for lower portion of this <br /> road where up slope spring water has begun to downeut across roadway. 'I'lds location was discussed <br /> with ATVIL in 1997. One waterbar was placed up slope of the seep but none were placed below the seep. <br /> Backfilled slopes of Pits 2 and 3 are in good repair and no new mass movement features of erosional <br /> gully features were identified. A slump below Pit 2,just east of the aspen glade continues to be active. <br /> Entire grassy creek valley has active land slides occurring. Some appear downslope from reclaimed pit <br /> areas other are located on the West side of the valley unrelated to mining activities. The Division has <br /> concerns about two slides. One immediately West of Pond 4 and the other immediately West of the <br /> reclaimed highwall at the base of Pit 3. Division of Minerals and Geology will conduct an aerial <br /> inspection to investigate these features further. <br />
