The photos were reviewed in the office by Rob Zuber of the Division on <br />January 27, 2011. A subset of the ten photos that were taken is provided here. All photos were taken looking <br />southeast unless otherwise noted. <br />HYDROLOGIC BALANCE - Rule 4.05: <br />The photographs showed no signs of significant erosion in any of the drainages. Standing water can be observed <br />in the Johnson Gulch #6 Pond. The pond embankment appeared stable, and no other problems were noted. No <br />other ponds can be closely observed in the aerial photographs. <br />GENERAL MINE PLAN COMPLANCE: <br />Trapper Mine continues the earth-moving activities in the F-pit, the Z-pit, the K Ridge, and the Horse Gulch fill <br />area. No problems were noted in the aerial photographs and the mine appears to be operating as permitted. No <br />observations of the aerial photographs warrant an on-the-ground inspection. <br />ROADS - Rule 4.03: <br />The life-of-mine haul road, the road to D/E Pit, the two roads to the Ash Pit, the F-Pit haul road, and the Z-Pit haul <br />road all appeared to be stable with no observed problems. All access roads and light-use roads identified in the <br />aerial photographs appeared to be well maintained and stable with no signs of damage and no problems noted. <br />RECLAMATION SUCCESS - Rule 4.15, Rule 3: <br />No erosion issues or other non-compliance issues were identified from the photographs. The area with gullies <br />above the Ash Pit will be regraded during the final reclamation (per PMT map). <br />SLIDES and DAMAGE - Rule 4.12: <br />No recent slide events were observed in the aerial photographs.
