Stover&Associates and CAM Mining and included spraying Versa Foam System 15 into the portal void and backfilling with twelve inches of dirt and rock. Following completion of the repair work, the site was inspected by me and Rodney Head of M:CM. The repair looked very good (see the attached before and after Photograph No's 1-4 of the crack/slough area). No further corrective action should be needed. We will continue to monitor this location to ensure that it remains stable. Fish&Wildlife Mountain Lion feeding sign was still present on the reclaimed portal access. The remains of what appears to be a deer or possibly a small cow is still perched in a Juniper tree approximately midway up the reclaimed portal access road. It appears to be the same carcass that was identified during the May, 2009 inspection,but the carcass has been moved higher into the tree since the last inspection. Deer and Elk sign were also present along the portal access. Reve etg ation The vegetation along the reclaimed portal access is becoming well established between the riprap drainages and at the portal backfill area.

As seen in the photos vegetation includes annual weeds, annual mustard, rabbit brush, fourwing saltbush, and perennial grasses. Offsite Support Facilities The Loma Loadout was inspected.
