6 <br /> EXHIBIT E <br /> CROSSFIRE AGGREGRATE <br /> SERVICES,LLC <br /> have existing woody vegetation left in place. Verification of completed reclamation will be done by a <br /> statement prepared and signed by the landowner confirming that the site is acceptable. During <br /> reclamation,weed control methods (Exhibit J:Vegetative Information) as approved by Conservation <br /> District and County officials, will be used on all affected land to prevent weed infestation. Final approval <br /> of reclamation will be granted by the Colorado Department of Natural Resources after submitting the <br /> statement and verification of notifications in accordance with DNR procedures and inspection. <br /> For disturbed areas,the reclamation plan includes re-vegetating with appropriate seed mixes to minimize <br /> erosion and re-establish natural terrain. The seed mixture below was selected to be long lasting and <br /> regenerating. The ground will be fine graded prior to seeding. The seed mix will be planted with a drill <br /> equipped with depth bands and fluffy seed agitator. The seed will be drilled between November 15 and <br /> April 30 for best results. The seeded areas will then be covered with straw mulch at a rate of 1,200 to <br /> 2,000 pounds per acre. If a significant invasion of noxious weeds occurs after seeding,the weeds will be <br /> mowed before they can go to seed. Mechanical control will be used as a first priority. Chemical methods <br /> will only be used if no other alternative produces acceptable results. <br /> Site Preparation <br /> Discing/harrowing shall be executed on the reclamation areas that are capable of safely supporting <br /> seeding equipment, including but not limited to tractors and their associated implements. Ripping to a <br /> minimum 12 inch depth shall precede discing/harrowing should the drill-seed discs not properly <br /> penetrate the soil surface to the set seeding depth. <br /> Seed Application <br /> Unless constrained by steep slopes, inaccessibility or other safety or technical limitation, seed shall be <br /> applied by use of a drill implement with appropriate agitators for even distribution of the seed types. <br /> Drills shall be no greater than 8 inches apart from one another and be positioned to set seed at a proper <br /> depth for seed type, but no greater than 1" depth no greater than 1 inch below the soil surface. Drill <br /> passes shall be made perpendicular to the slope to the maximum extent practicable. Broadcast seeding <br /> may be substituted on slopes incapable of safely supporting seeding equipment. Seeding rates shall be <br /> doubled in such instances and seeded areas raked to provide proper seed depth and soil-seed contact. <br /> Two-pass seeding is permitted provided even distribution of all specified seeds is achieved. <br /> Mulch Application <br /> A minimum of 2 tons per acre of hay mulch (straw mulch may be substituted in limited instances)with a <br /> maximum of 2.5 tons/acre shall be evenly spread or blown over the seeded area. Mulch shall be <br /> "crimped" into the soil surface with proper discing implements on the area that is capable of safely <br /> operating such equipment. Crimping passes shall be made perpendicular to the slope to the maximum <br /> extent practicable. Mulch shall be "tackified"to slopes incapable of supporting seeding equipment <br /> using plantago-based tackifier at a rate of 600 lbs/acre. <br /> Prepared by Tegre Corp. <br /> 1199 Main Ave.,Suite 101 (T' 1 i( 1 <br /> Durango, CO 81301 L� <br /> (970)828-1811 <br />
