SPECIAL CONDMONS <br /> A. That 36.15 acres of wetlands will be mitigated'on site within the identified wetland mitigation areas as <br /> depicted in drawings 8 and 9"Mitigation sites". <br /> B. That a weed control plan will be designed and implemented no later than March 31, 2002, and <br /> maintained throughout the eidstence of this permit. <br /> C. If bank stabilization for any of the streams, rivers, and drainages within the boundaries of the project <br /> becomes an issue with the Corps; the Camas Colorado, Inc.will ensure that corrective action will be taken <br /> immediately. The corrective action will be coordinated with the Corps of Engineers Regulatory Branch <br /> prior to commencing work unless emergency action is a necessity. The preferred use for this action is one <br /> that the Corps would consider environmentally sensitive. <br /> D. That a conservation easement will be placed on the wetland mitigation sites for this project. cps P•c3u <br /> E. -That wetland mitigation will be performed in conjunction with the mining disturbance. If for some <br /> reason wetland mitigation falls behind the mining aggressive steps,must be taken to bring it up to an <br /> acceptable level within the next year. This is to ensure that the functions and values of the wetlands are not <br /> totally lost and the aquatic resource is not required to be without those functions and values for an extended <br /> period of time. <br /> F. That if any cottonwood trees are lost (die) due to the mining operation CAMAS will replace the <br /> dead/dieing trees by planting 5 seed producing Cottonwood trees for each dead tree. These trees will be a <br /> minimum of 2 inches in diameter. The mitigated trees will be required to maintain a survival rate of 4 out 5 <br /> trees. That is, if 10 trees were planted due to this special condition eight of the planted trees must be in <br /> good health before the Corps will consider the planting of trees acceptable. These mitigated trees must <br /> thrive for a minimum of three consecutive years after the mining is completed to be considered acceptable. <br /> This is not to say that CAMAS is permitted to ignore the planting of such trees until they near the end of the <br /> mining operation. Planting of trees will take place at such time the appropriate tree planting area is <br /> available. Availability is determined by the Corps. <br /> G. Live stock grazing will not be allowed within 50 feet of any wetland mitigation site. <br /> H. That a detailed wetlfirid mitigation plan will be submitted to the Denver Regulatory Office for review <br /> and acceptance no later than June 30, 2000. The mitigation plan will incorporate wet meadow complexes <br /> with open water. This design will have mostly wet meadow wetland with 3-4 irregularly shaped open water <br /> areas and some shallow(1-2 feet deep)standing water areas. <br /> I. That the relocated seep/stream will be constructed to be similar in nature to the existing stream — <br /> relativeiy unconfined channel with a wide area for plant growth on each side of the stream. From a habitat <br /> stand point the vegetation will be replaced in kind as that pre-existing to mining. <br /> J. That annual wetland monitoring reports will be performed by the applicant each year beginning in the <br /> year 2002..These reports will be submitted to the Denver Regulatory Office on or before December 1, of <br /> each year until the Corps determines the mitigation viable and self-sustaining.These reports will include but <br /> not be limited to the following r<-rformation <br /> 8. <br />
