evidence supporting the enforcement action.
successfully controlled on the reclamation. The only noxious plants observed on the reclaimed
corridor were a couple individual tamarisk plants and a couple individual musk thistle plants.
The corridor is immediately adjacent to the Union Pacific railroad tracks and access road (see
Photo No. 6), and some impacts of the industrial use were evident along the corridor, including
compaction in areas where vehicles had used the corridor as a parking and turn-around area.
Also, it appeared that weed spray used by Union Pacific along the rail line may have drifted onto
the corridor and impacted shrubs along the western perimeter of the reclamation in a couple
locations. These are impacts that might be expected at the site, given the immediately adjacent
rail line and maintenance road.
In summary, vegetation establishment is satisfactory to control erosion, and meets the criterion
of 4.15.10(2) for the industrial/commercial postmining land use. The site will be actively used
by Union Pacific Railroad following final bond release for service access and maintenance of the
rail line. The industrial postmine land use has been established and is being implemented at the
former Overland Conveyor area for which bond release is being requested. Nothing was
identified during this inspection that would preclude full bond release for the approximate 2.1
reclaimed acres located adjacent to the Union Pacific Railroad and south of 19/10 Road, which
was formerly used by the Roadside Portals Mine for an Overland Conveyor.
