This former underground mine site has been <br /> downsized through previously approved bond release to a disturbed area of about 1.2 acres at the <br /> former NW-1 ventilation shaft. The weather on this day was clear and seasonal. Ground <br /> conditions were excellent. Snow-cover was present only in shaded areas. <br /> RECLAMATION SUCCESS -Rule 4.15, Rule 3: <br /> The site is unchanged since last month's inspection. The growing season has not yet begun due <br /> to prevailing winter conditions. Vegetation remains from previous year's growth and ground <br /> cover is qualitatively rated as good. No rills, gullies, or erosion features are present. Weeds <br /> have not been a problem at this site and none were observed. <br /> ROADS—Rule 4.03 <br /> A short section of a road to a monitoring well in Cherry Canyon remains to be backfilled to <br /> grade and reclaimed. The operator should ensure that this work is completed during the coming <br /> field season. <br /> Number of Partial Inspection this Fiscal Year: 6 <br /> Number of Complete Inspections this Fiscal Year: 2 <br /> Page 2 of 3 <br />
