THE NEW CACHE LA POUDRE IRRIGATING COMPANY <br />THE CACHE LA POUDRE RESERVOIR COMPANY <br />EXHIBIT E <br />Reclamation Plan <br />(970) 352 -0222 <br />As described in these application materials, we are constructing a 9.42 acre agricultural pond. The majority <br />of the disturbed area will be within the pond and reclaimed as a pond with liner, etc. All exterior side slopes <br />and any other disturbed area will be reclaimed as described below: <br />1. The maximum gradient of reclaimed slopes will be 3:1. <br />2. Top soil will be stockpiled and be placed at a minimum average depth of three inches. The seedbed <br />should be well settled and firm but not compacted. If heavy equipment compacted an area it will be <br />ripped and smoothed. The seed bed will be free of weeds. <br />3. A soil test will be performed to determine proper fertilizer requirements. In lieu of a soil test the <br />planting area will be fertilized at a rate of at least 40 lbs. of nitrogen and 40 lbs. of phosphate. Animal <br />manure may be used to supply all or part of the nutrients. Fertilization will occur proximate to seeding <br />time (of grass). <br />4. The seed mixture will be Dryland Aggressive Mix at 10 lbs/acre consisting of: <br />Intermediate Wheatgrass, Oahe <br />Pubescent Wheat Wheatgrass, Lura <br />Green Needlegrass, Lodorm <br />Slender Wheatgrass, Pryor <br />Slender Wheatgrass, Revenue <br />Western /Slender Mix <br />Western Wheatgrass <br />Grass drilling will occur between spring 2016 and spring 2017. Weeds will be controlled mechanically or <br />chemically, until grass is established. No grazing will be allowed. <br />5. A minimum of 4,000 lbs. of grass mulch per acre will be applied to the surface after the grass has been <br />seeded to hold the ground, until the grass has been established. The mulch will be crimped into the <br />surface (4 inch depth) with a mulch crimper. <br />6. The existing access road will be left as is, no cultivation or seeding. <br />33040 Railroad Avenue • P.O. Box 104 • Lucerne, Colorado 80646 <br />
