I did not identify any plant <br />pests which had affected the growth of the vegetation during this growing season. No areas <br />which experienced any infestation or blight were found during the inspections. No patches of <br />noxious weed species were observed, nor were any areas observed where weeds, plant pests, or <br />disease showed a deleterious effect to the live vegetation. <br />Oakridge Energy contracted for spraying of scattered noxious weeds in 2012 at the coal mine <br />site. The most recent spraying took place during the late summer of 2012. During my inspection <br />of December 13, 2012 I found approximately six dead musk thistle plants within the coal mine <br />permit area. These were cut and disposed of <br />f).
