and applicable rules and regulations of the Mined Land Reclamation Board.

Possible Violation is indicated, you will be notified under separate cover as to when the Mined Land
Reclamation Board will consider possible enforcement action.
INSPECTION TOPIC: Reclamation Success

reclamation plan or provide sufficient information to describe or identify how the operator intends to conduct
reclamation.
CORRECTIVE ACTIONS: The operator shall submit a Technical Revision, with the required $216 revision fee, to

corrective action date.
CORRECTIVE ACTION DUE DATE: 3/27/12
INSPECTION TOPIC: Reclamation Success
PROBLEM /POSSIBLE VIOLATION: Problem: Tamarisk (salt cedar) trees are present within or have volunteered

methods for a state listed noxious weed species within the permitted area, and to reduce the spread of weeds
to nearby areas as required by Section 3.1.10 (6) of the rule.
CORRECTIVE ACTIONS: The operator shall either implement the existing weed control plan, or develop a weed
control and management plan in accordance with Section 3.1.10 (6) of the Rule. This plan should be developed
in consultation with the county extension agency, or weed control district office and should include specific
control measures to be applied, a schedule for when control measures will be applied and a post- treatment
monitoring plan. This weed control plan shall be submitted to the Division as a Technical Revision to the
approved plan with the appropriate Technical Revision fee of $216.00 by the corrective action date.
