INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM <br />TO: ROB ZUBER <br />FROM: JANETBINNS <br />SUBJECT: TRAPPER NE TR 08; 010 REVIEW <br />DATE: 4/4/11 <br />I have reviewed Trappers TR108 for adequacy. This revision provides updates to the <br />Trapper permit as the Annual Reclamation Report. The application fulfills the <br />requirements of Rule 2.04.13. Missing from the application is any discussion of weed <br />control and management, or a discussion of reclamation of the development drill holes <br />and associated pads and light use roads. (2.04.13(1)(e)) <br />1. Trapper historically has implemented a comprehensive weed management plan. <br />Please have the operator provide a discussion of weed control measures <br />implement during 2010. They should include a description of the measures <br />employed; e.g. spray truck, four-.wheeler, backpack sprayers, etc. They should <br />include chemical used and what noxious weed species are being controlled. A <br />sketch or description of where weed control measures were employed should also <br />be included. Inclusion of this information in the Annual Reclamation Report is <br />helpful to the operator during bond release reviews <br />2. The operator reported that 22 development drill holes were constructed in 2010. <br />Of these, two will be mined through, so do not require reclamation. The <br />remaining 20 holes are located near the eastern permit boundary, and require <br />regrading and seeding. Were these holes sealed? Were the pads regraded and <br />seeded? If these holes have been sealed and reclaimed, the operator needs to <br />provide drill holes abandonment reports. Please have the operator show these <br />drill hole locations on the ARR map, include the area associated with the <br />reclamation of these holes, and state which seed mix was used to reclaim the pads.
