Reclamation of Exploration sites All drill sites are scheduled to be reclaimed immediately after backfilling and cementing, and the disturbed drill sites will be graded to the original levels with rakes and shovels. All trash and other debris will be removed from the site. Trenches and mud pits, if applicable, will be allowed to dry and then backfilled. Salvaged topsoil will be replaced on the regraded site. The reclaimed sites will be seeded during the first favorable seeding period following reclamation. Revegetation The following seed mixture will bE ensure germination: Pryor Slender and Sodar Streambank Wheatgras pounds of PLS per acre for a total acre. 6) Response to Rule 2.02.02(h) hand broadcast and raked into the soil to Wheatgrass, Rosana Western Wheatgrass, 3. Each type is seeded at the rate of three grass seed mixture of 9 pounds of PLS per The exploration area is located immediately north and west of Trapper Mining Inc.'s Trapper Mine Permit Area. Within the Trapper Mine Permit Document Threatened and Endangered Species are addressed as follows: For: Threatened and Endangered Species Publications of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Jan. 17, 1979), and the Colorado Division of Wildlife (1978 and 1980) were consulted to determine threatened and endangered wildlife species that could occur on or adjacent to the Trapper Mine mine plan area. In addition, a raptor nesting survey was conducted for the mine plan area and adjacent area during May of 1980. Eco- logy Consultants Inc. baseline data was also examined. There are no areas within or adjacent to the proposed mine plan area that have been or are pending designation as "essential habitat" for any of the threatened or endangered species that could potentially occur there. See Appendix B attached pages 2-141 through 2-143 excerpts from Trapper Mine Permit For: Threatened and Endangered Plant Species Those plant species listed as threatened or endangered and known to occur in Moffat County at elevations between 6500 feet and 8000 feet are listed in Table 2.3-24. The list of threatened or endangered species is based upon documents received from the Bureau of Land Management District office, Craig, Colorado (Appendix D) and the Plant Information Network (PIN) developed at Colorado State University. Of the seven total species thought to occur in Moffat County, only three could occur within the elevation range which bounds the proposed mine plan area. None of these have been encountered to date.
