III. COMMENTS -COMPLIANCE <br /> Below are comments on the inspection. The comments include discussion of observations made <br /> during the inspection. Comments also describe any enforcement actions taken during the inspection <br /> and the facts or evidence supporting the enforcement action. <br /> Topsoil <br /> Topsoil in the area is tan in color, and very thin. At each site, the soil on the surface is now a <br /> grayish green due to the drill cuttings that were temporarily piled adjacent to the hole (Figure 3). <br /> It is unknown whether this difference will present any obstacle to future vegetation success. <br /> Fish & Wildlife <br /> Abundant signs of elk and deer were observed throughout the exploration area. <br /> Revegetation <br /> A seed mixture specified by the BLM was scattered at each exploration site, and across the <br /> track areas as needed. Establishment of vegetation is varied; the area is very dry, and it is likely <br /> that successful establishment will take time. The BLM continues to monitor the sites for <br /> compliance with the agency's own requirements. <br /> Reclamation Success <br /> Drilling and reclamation of the Third Park Federal exploration holes appears to have been <br /> accomplished in accordance with DRMS requirements and with details presented in WFC's NOI <br /> application. Reclamation efforts appear to be succeeding, and physical evidence of the <br /> operation is minimal (Figure 4). <br /> Third Park Federal NOI X-2007-142-10 16-Oct-2008 <br /> -2- <br />
