The purpose of the inspection was to evaluate the on- the -ground <br />condition with respect to Trapper Mine's SL -12 application, which is a Phase II bond release application. The <br />application includes five parcels: F- AB -05, F- AB -06, Z- AB -05, Z- AB -06, and A -C -05. These parcels were <br />evaluated for vegetative cover, species composition, weeds, erosion, and (as necessary) topsoil thickness. <br />The following people also participated in the inspection: Graham Roberts of TMI, Elizabeth Shaeffer of OSM, <br />Jennifer Maiolo of the BLM office in Craig, and Lane Osborn from the Colorado State Board of Land <br />Commissioners. <br />The weather was warm and clear. The ground was clear and dry. <br />RECLAMATION SUCCESS - Rule 4.15, Rule 3: <br />For all parcels, the vegetative cover was consistent with the vegetation sampling results reported in the SL -12 <br />application (average of 67 percent cover), and species composition was generally consistent with the species <br />reported in the SL -12 application, with relatively large quantities of wheatgrasses, Mountain Brome, and Great <br />Basin Wildrye, as well as some forbs and shrubs. Additional information for each parcel is presented below. <br />Parcels F -AB -05 and F -AB -06 <br />A large bare area is near the north end of F- AB -05. Using a GPS data collector, this area was estimated to be 0.7 <br />acres in area. <br />Number of Partial Inspection this Fiscal Year: 2 <br />Number of Complete Inspections this Fiscal Year: 1 <br />Page 2 of <br />7 <br />
