of pure live seed in the mixture is as follows: <br /> Wildrye-2 pounds per acre <br /> Intermediate wheatgrass-2 pounds per acre <br /> Smooth brome—2 pounds per acre <br /> Slender wheat- 1 pound per acre <br /> Crested wheat- 1 pound per acre <br /> Perennial ryegrass— 1 pound per acre <br /> Orchardgrass— 1 pound per acre <br /> (c)(v) Mulching is not recommended for this site and will not be used as part of <br /> reclamation. <br /> (c)(vi) The area is heavily wooded and the planting of trees and shrubs will not promote <br /> vegetative diversity. Therefore, it is most appropriate that the area will be planted in <br /> grasses, with emphasis on species that will be suitable as forage for domestic <br /> livestock. As discussed above, wildlife can interfere with reclamation processes. If <br /> wildlife should become a problem in reaching reclamation objectives, methods of <br /> encouraging them to feed elsewhere might be developed, in conjunction with the <br /> assistance of the State Division of Wildlife. If that approach fails, a move to <br /> planting grass species that the elk tend to not prefer, might be an additional method <br /> of achieving reclamation objectives. <br /> (d) The site currently contains no ponds, streams, and no permanent buildings. When <br /> and if the project moves away from prospecting and on to mining,buildings might <br /> become necessary, and if any permanent structures are constructed, their retention <br /> will be the decision of the landowner. No ponds are anticipated to be constructed <br /> within the boundaries of the permit area, so the consideration of sloping associated <br /> with them is not applicable. Only if wildlife becomes a problem with obtaining <br /> reclamation goals will it be necessary to involve the Division of Wildlife. <br /> (e) At the time of final closure, all mining equipment and temporary structures, not <br /> wanted by the property owner, will be removed from the site. Any and all refuse <br /> generated in conjunction with this operation will be hauled away and properly <br /> disposed of. The tunnel portal will be stabilized and secured either by closing with <br /> rock and soils, or by substantial gating that will preclude any unauthorized access. If <br /> gated, the closure will include installation of standard State of Colorado reclamation <br /> portal hardware consisting of a frame set in rock with a locking steel gate. This <br /> installation will preclude entry by unauthorized personnel. <br /> Any open shafts will be closed using an engineered concrete plug to be set no less <br /> than 15 feet below the collar. The top of the plug will be backfilled with material <br /> composed of rock, sized at 3-inch minus. Alternatively, shafts will be closed by <br /> filling with broken rock. A suitable soil, or growth media, no less than 6 inches in <br /> thickness, will then be placed over the fill prior to seeding. <br />
