May 16, 2013 C- 1981 - 010 /Trapper Mine JLE <br />The primary and emergency spillway was clear and functional. The sediment marker was in place and the <br />capacity appeared adequate. <br />Deal pond was holding water but was not discharging. The embankment was stable and vegetated. The primary <br />and emergency spillway appeared clear and functional. <br />Horse Gulch Pond was holding water but was not discharging. The embankment was stable and vegetated. The <br />primary and emergency spillway appeared clear and functional. <br />West Horse Pond was holding water but was not discharging. The embankment was stable and vegetated. The <br />primary and emergency spillway appeared clear and functional. <br />The East Pyeatt re- established drainage south of the life of mine haul road was walked. Trapper has repaired the <br />damages observed in this drainage last year by regarding portions of the drainage and placing rock check dams at <br />short intervals along the steep portions of this drainage. Overall, it appears this drainage was able to handle this <br />year's spring run -off without significant erosion. Similar to Oak gulch, the Division recommends cleaning behind <br />each of the check dams periodically to maintain the functionality of these check dams. <br />RECLAMATION SUCCESS - Rule 4.15, Rule 3: <br />The Division evaluated topsoil depth replacement and backfilling and grade check on the parcels that were <br />reclaimed in 2012. See the Backfilling and Grading section and the Topsoil section of this report for more details. <br />REVEGETATION — Rule 4.15; Vegetative Cover; Timing: <br />The vegetation in the area was beginning to germinate and grow throughout the reclaimed land. The vegetation in <br />Parcel F -A -11 and K -A -11 consist primarily of annual fortis with some grass beginning to germinate. <br />SLIDES and DAMAGE - Rule 4.12: <br />A slump was observed to the east of East Pyeatt drainage. Trapper should re -grade and repair the upper cut slope <br />of this slump. Also, several large rills were observed running through this slump that will need to be repaired as <br />well. <br />The slide scarp above D Pit has been graded and topsoiled. <br />SIGNS AND MARKERS — Rule 4.02: <br />The Division checked the mine entrance signs at each of the required locations and found that each sign was in <br />place and contained the required information. <br />The permit boundary was observed at various locations throughout the mine during the inspection. The boundary <br />markers observed appeared to be in the correct location. <br />Number of Partial Inspection this Fiscal Year: 8 <br />Number of Complete Inspections this Fiscal Year: 4 <br />Page 6 of 11 <br />
