weeds on an as needed basis(as dictated by Garfield County's ordinances). You may wish to <br /> consult the Garfield County Weed Specialist to aid you in developing this plan.Also the <br /> Colorado DOA has a summary of required treatment type by county and species. The Division <br /> would advise against relying on noxious weeds as a cover crop to facilitate establishment <br /> desirable plants for reclamation. <br /> The operator will conduct an annual weed survey each spring at a minimum. Upon <br /> identification of weed patches and particular species on site, the operator will consult with the <br /> Garfield County Vegetation Manager on the best methodology for weed removal and further <br /> preventative steps. Following execution of these steps, the operator will conduct follow-up <br /> weed surveys in order to ensure that any weed species found on site are eradicated. <br /> 35. In E-1 please break down the timing for each task by phase. Specifically, upon final <br /> reclamation L-1 <br /> Please see Table D-2 for a breakdown for the time to complete each phase, and the time to <br /> complete final reclamation. <br /> 36. Clarify upon final reclamation the acres associated with reclaiming the processing area and roads <br /> within each phase. <br /> Since the roads and office area will be built at the beginning of the mining operation, the <br /> reclamation area for each phase is the full four acres. <br /> 37. Will broadcast seed be raked or tilled into the soil after applying seed? Successful seed <br /> germination requires good soil to seed contact. If no roughening after seeding will be used, <br /> please justify. <br /> Broadcast seeding is typically followed by raking or tilling into the soil. <br /> 38. The Division recommends that forbs are include in the seed mix. <br /> 39. Will the same dry rangeland mix be used along the water's edge(riparian areas)?The Division <br /> encourages the operator to consider a different seed mix for theses fringe areas. If different <br /> mixes are to be used be specify the acres requiring each mix and differentiate on maps. <br /> The table below shows the lake fringe seed mix to be used on the 1.8 acres of lake fringe <br /> shown on the revised Map C-2. <br /> Reclamation Seed Mix—Lake Fringe(Drilled Seed Rate:Ibs of PLS/ac) <br /> Plant <br /> Nebraska Sedge 4 <br /> Hardstem Bulrush 16 <br /> Beaked Sedge 4 <br /> Alkali Bulrush 8 <br /> Canada Wildrye 10 <br /> Slender Wheatgrass 10 <br /> Total 52 <br /> Exhibit F—Reclamation Plan Map <br /> 40. Please specify the surface area of each lake <br /> See the areas on the revised Map F-1. <br /> 41. The dry rangeland and woodland areas are the same color. Please adjust so that each area can <br /> be differentiated between. <br />
