During the removal of overburden, if an area of heavy weed infestation is encountered, it will be <br /> buried in the slopes rather than used as a growth medium. During all phases of the mining <br /> operation, the permit area will be monitored closely every year which the operator is active to <br /> determine if there are any additional weeds invading the area. If infestations of similar weeds as <br /> are present now is experienced, the current weed control plan will continue to be used. If any <br /> new species of weeds are found, Montrose County Weed Control Authority and the Division will <br /> be consulted in order to formulate the best plan for the new infestation. <br /> 8. Revegetation Success Criteria <br /> Revegetation will be deemed adequate when erosion is controlled in an adequate manner, and the <br /> vegetation is considered satisfactory to the Division. <br /> 9. Monitoring Reclamation Success <br /> Monitoring the reclamation on an ongoing basis will help to assure successful reclamation. The <br /> operator plans to use the local NRCS office to assist in determining the ability of the reclaimed <br /> land to control erosion and any other suggestions which may enhance the reclamation of the site. <br /> If minor changes or modifications are needed to the seeding and reclamation plan, revision plans <br /> will be submitted to the Division as required. It is hoped that the Division will provide assistance <br /> in evaluating the success of the ongoing reclamation process. All areas disturbed and reclaimed <br /> and any other important items regarding the reclamation will be submitted in the annual reports <br /> to the Division. <br /> Olathe Pit, 2018 <br />
