EXHIBIT D <br /> Rule 6.3.4 <br /> Reclamation Plan <br /> Prairie junegrass(Koeleria macrantha ) 0.25 13 <br /> Total 8.25 69 <br /> If the seedbed has not been adequately roughened prior to seeding,the seed will be raked or <br /> harrowed after broadcast application. If necessary for successful revegetation,the site will be <br /> fertilized, scarified, mulched and the seed covered. <br /> Weed control shall be employed for all prohibited noxious weeds and whenever invasion of a <br /> reclaimed area by other weed species seriously threatens the continued development of desired <br /> vegetation. <br /> In response to the Division's Adequacy Letter dated August 9, 2016, the Applicant consulted <br /> with Janie Brands,the Jackson County Weed Coordinator,regarding a Noxious Weed <br /> Management Plan for the Van Valkenburg Quarry site. Ms. Brands reviewed the proposed <br /> quarry application and provided a Noxious Weed Management Plan that is attached hereto as <br /> Exhibit D-3. Pages 8-10 of Exhibit D-3 provide a list of noxious weeds found in Jackson County <br /> and a treatment recommendation and schedule for each weed. Applicant will spray and control <br /> noxious weeds throughout the year in accordance with the treatment recommendation and <br /> schedule. As recommended by Ms. Brands, Applicant will also contact Ms. Brands(or the <br /> current Jackson County Weed Coordinator) in mid-July of each year regarding a weed-growth <br /> inspection at the quarry site. Applicant will then perform follow-up treatment and continue to <br /> monitor the site in accordance with the Jackson County Weed Coordinator's recommendations. <br /> (d) Remaining Structures: <br /> There will be no features such as ponds, streams,or buildings remaining on the permit site after <br /> reclamation. The site contains an existing access road that connects the site to Jackson County <br /> Road 53. Applicant owns the existing access road and all land underlying the existing access <br /> road. Applicant has used the existing access road in the past as part of its ranching activities. The <br /> existing access road is necessary for Applicant to access its property in Section 11, Township 5 <br /> North,Range 81 West of the 6"'P.M. The existing access road will be necessary for Applicant to <br /> continue to utilize the land for its intended post-reclamation use of rangeland. <br /> Applicant points out that the comments submitted in response to this application by Colorado <br /> Parks and Wildlife state that utilization of the existing access road will not result in additional <br /> habitat fragmentation that would occur with the building of a new access road. Similarly, leaving <br /> the access road in existence after the conclusion of mining activities will not impose additional <br /> burdens on wildlife habitat, the surrounding landscape, or the post-mining land use of rangeland. <br /> Van Valkenburg Cattle Co.,LLC <br /> Construction Materials Limited Impact(110) Operation Reclamation Permit Application Form <br /> Page 3 of 4 <br />
