August 22, 2012 C- 1996- 084 /Lorencito Canyon Mine JHB <br />timing for the shrub transplants. NECC has stated that they plan to replant the shrub enclosure during the Fall <br />2012. <br />SLIDES and DAMAGE - Rule 4.12: <br />Gully repairs conducted in July 2012 throughout the mine site held up well to the recent storm events. <br />However, the north slope of parcel N -1 continues to contribute sediment down slope. This material is staying <br />within the disturbance area. Although this erosion is not resulting in concentrated gullies, it is reducing the <br />effective soil on the slope and covering vegetation at the flatter northern portions of the slope. The Division <br />advises NECC to implement methods to retain the soil on the slope. The inspector and NECC representative <br />thought appropriately placed and anchored wattles may provide effective sediment control. Other solutions may <br />be effective as well. <br />Gully repairs west of the shrub exclosure in parcel C -1 exhibited considerable down- cutting and will need <br />additional repairs. Sediment from these repairs was washed into the flat area of parcel C -I and into the shrub <br />exclosure. <br />The gully repairs on the north side of parcel W -1 were showing some erosion as well, though they have not <br />reformed gullies. This slope needs additional help in slowing the water flow and concentration down. Selectively <br />placed wattles or other erosion control measures would be beneficial on this slope. <br />A new gully formed as a result of the recent storms. This gully is located on the west side of parcel W -5. Runoff <br />flowed around the existing hay bales and drained west to Pond 5. Down- cutting was restricted to the upper 20 or <br />so feet from the head of the drainage. This gully cut up to 3 to 4 feet deep in places. NECC needs to repair this <br />gully feature. <br />Sediment from this gully did not make it all the way to Pond 5 but was deposited in the drainage. <br />TOPSOIL — Rule 4.06 Removal 4.06.2, Substitute Materials 4.06.4(4); Storage and Protection 4.063; <br />Redistribution 4.06.4: <br />Results of fertility and soil parameter analyses of the pond sediment clean out material needs to be <br />submitted to the division. <br />DOCUMENTS RECEIVED NA <br />OTHER (SPECIFY) <br />Number of Partial Inspection this Fiscal Year: 2 <br />Number of Complete Inspections this Fiscal Year: 1 <br />Page 4 of 12 <br />
