Below in Table 2 is a typical seed mix that will be used for the Oak Brush Zone. As Surface Use <br />Agreements are finalized, a variety of similar seed mixtures may be used depending upon what <br />seed mixes are agreed to by the Surface landowner and Oxbow. <br />Table 2 <br />Seed Mix for Oakbrush Zone <br />(source: BLM - UFO) <br />SPECIES % of Mix PLS # /Acre <br />Western Wheatgrass var Arriba <br />12 <br />8.0 <br />0.96 <br />Slender Wheatgrass var San Luis <br />12 <br />5.5 <br />0.66 <br />Mountain Brome var Bromar <br />12 <br />12.5 <br />1.5 <br />Big Bluegrass var Sherman <br />12 <br />1.5 <br />0.18 <br />Bottlebrush Squirreltail <br />12 <br />8.0 <br />0.96 <br />Canada Wildrye <br />12 <br />7.0 <br />0.94 <br />American Vetch <br />6 <br />10.0 <br />0.6 <br />Rocky Mountain Penstemon <br />6 <br />1.5 <br />0.09 <br />Western Yarrow <br />6 <br />1.0 <br />0.06 <br />Total application rate for incorporated seed <br />5.95 # /acre <br />Seed application rates will be doubled if aerial broadcast methods are used. <br />Project- Specific Plans and Parameters - Exploration activities are expected to be <br />typically completed by the middle of October because of weather and or hunting season <br />considerations, but may extend into November as weather and ground conditions permit. <br />Water hauled to the exploration sites will be obtained from local sources in accordance with <br />existing Colorado water rights. <br />All trash, debris, oily waste, filter waste, hazardous waste, etc. will be removed from the drill site <br />for proper disposal offsite. No RCRA hazardous waste materials are anticipated to be used on the <br />project. <br />All drilling equipment will be provided with fire extinguishers and shovels which will be <br />available for fighting small fires if necessary. Drilling crews will be available to control very <br />small fires associated with drilling activities but are not equipped or trained to fight larger <br />rangeland fires. <br />The exploration program will otherwise comply with the requirements of Rule 2.02 of the <br />Regulations of the Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Board. <br />6 Attach a statement with appropriate references from the relevant State or Federal agencies or <br />published sources, which determines that the exploration and reclamation described will not <br />jeopardize the continued existence of an endangered or threatened species listed pursuant to <br />Section 4 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1533) or the Nongame, <br />Endangered or Threatened Species Conservation Act (Section 33 -8 -101 et s_q. C.R.S. 1973) <br />or result in the destruction or adverse modification of critical habitat of those species. (Rule <br />2.02.2(2) (h)) <br />-8- <br />
