Q Introduction to Appendices <br />Appendix A. <br />The reader may recognize and have great familiarity with many of the <br />reclamation methods and concepts presented in the following appendices. It <br />is not our intent to write a reclamation primer, but to supplement the <br />planning document and provide clarity, plus present alternatives if and when <br />failure occurs, hopefully it will not. Not all of the mentioned methods or <br />concepts will be implemented on a specific reclamation, and not on the <br />Powell Gravel Pit. The main body of the reclamation document addresses <br />those that may be initially used for a site. One must remember that the <br />main characteristic present in all reclamation and restoration projects, <br />irrespective of site attributes, is the dynamic nature of change in a natural <br />system. Thus the following is presented in the hope that the operator/owner <br />will have multiple options available during planning and implementation, or <br />Owhen a new option is needed. <br />10 <br />Appendices B - C <br />These two appendices provide information on monitoring and weeds. Keep in <br />mind that the monitoring (Appendix B) was specifically written for monitoring <br />reclamations on Federal ground and is not required on the Powell Pit. <br />Appendices D - ] <br />A collection 11x17 maps, photos, tables, and notes which should provide the <br />user with enhanced readability of previously presented information and <br />further information. <br />With luck, the rains will fall gently and the grasses, forbs, and shrubs will <br />cover the project. As is the nature of the high desert, failure is but a <br />moment away, and so is success. Hope is for the next wet season and the <br />resulting flush of green. <br />48 1 <br />MR: l'OWLLL GR,AVI:L I']I'. Vl.
