Marr Mine and Loadout <br />2009 Reclamation Report <br />7.0 NOXIOUS WEED CONTROL <br />Feb 17, 2010 <br />During DRMS' inspections at the Loadout, it was noted that Canada Thistle was found at the <br />site. In response to these concerns, KCC sprayed the thistle during September, 2009. The <br />herbicide, LV400, 24D was mixed and applied at the recommended rate of % pint per 3 gallons <br />of water. <br />8.0 DRAINAGE AND SEDIMENT CONTROL <br />KCC received the official notice of termination of Colorado Discharge Permit Number COG- <br />850037 dated April 2, 2009. The discharge permit pertained to the sedimentation ponds located <br />at the mine site that remain as permanent structures. Termination of Discharge Permit COG- <br />850037 approved by the Water Control Division and with the Final Bond Release SL-4, <br />approved by the DRMS, KCC is released from ongoing liability concerning the ponds located at <br />the KCC mine site. <br />The pond located at the Loadout site is not yet eligible for release. As part of Kerr's regular site <br />maintenance activities, the surface water control structure at the Loadout was inspected. Any <br />concerns noted by the DRMS in their regular site inspection reports were considered. For <br />certification, the pond/embankment was inspected by a registered P.E., Mr. Brian Len of <br />NWCC, Inc. of Steamboat Springs, Colorado during May, 2009. Based on inspection, the <br />surface water control structure at the Loadout was found to be in good condition. <br />9.0 SURFACE FACILITIES <br />During October, 2008, sealing, reclamation & reseeding of the monitor well sites was completed <br />in the mine area. The monitor wells reclaimed were: 79-1; 79-2; 79-3; 79-61 and AO-2A. The <br />exception was the spoils well, Spoil Well SP-01, which was converted to a stock watering well at <br />the request of the land owner. The conversion was approved by the DRMS & the Colorado <br />Water Division. The Office of the State Engineer assigned Well Permit Number 232027 to the <br />well. <br />10.0 LOADOUT AREA <br />Final reclamation activities were completed for the Loadout Area (approximately 7 acres) during <br />1999. The Loadout Area was re-seeded in October 2000 and good growth was evident during <br />the Phase 1 bond release inspection conducted in May 2001. During the fall of 2007, willows <br />were removed from the Tipple pond's emergency spillway and the road ditch along the entrance <br />road was regraded and cleaned. <br />Phase 2 Partial Bond Release for the Loadout site was included in SL-4 and was approved <br />January 5, 2009. During the report year, water monitoring continued at the site in accordance <br />with the approved water monitoring schedule as well as routine overall maintenance of the site. <br />As stated above (Item 7), Canada Thistle was treated at the Loadout during September, 2009. <br />11.0 REVEGETATION SUCCESS EVALUATION <br />Revegetation success sampling was completed in 1999 on the pre-1986, 1995, and 1996 <br />reseeded areas. The results of this sampling are contained in a report prepared by ESCO <br />Associates Inc. dated February 2000. This evaluation included cover, annual production, shrub <br />density and species diversity/composition. Based on the sampling results, revegetation in these <br />4
