removal on the property. Past experience has shown that some initial weed cover in the first year <br /> following the retopsoiling is beneficial to the reclamation effort in rangeland sites. Annual non- <br /> noxious weeds tend to provide shade for new grasses, are a means of holding snow on the <br /> seedbed longer, and protect seedlings from wind and water erosion until the planted species have <br /> firmly taken hold. <br /> During all phases and areas of the mining operation the permit area will be monitored closely <br /> every year,through which the operator may determine if any additional weeds have grown. If <br /> any new species of weeds are found, Fremont County and the Division will be consulted in order <br /> to formulate the best plan for the new infestation. <br /> 6. Revegetation Success Criteria <br /> These areas will be deemed adequate when vegetation has been established in order to control <br /> erosion and noxious weeds are not present in any significant amounts and all of the conditions of <br /> Rule 3.1.10 have been met. <br /> 7. Monitoring Reclamation Success <br /> Monitoring reclamation on an ongoing basis will allow minor revisions to assure efficient and <br /> successful reclamation. The operator plans to use the local NRCS office to assist in determining <br /> the ability of the reclaimed land to control erosion. If minor changes or modifications are needed <br /> to the seeding and reclamation plan, revision plans will be submitted to the Division as required. <br /> It is hoped that the Division will provide assistance in evaluating the success of ongoing <br /> reclamation process. All areas disturbed and reclaimed and any other important items regarding <br /> reclamation will be submitted in the annual reports to the Division. <br /> Yevoli Cobblestone Pit <br /> August 2018 E-4 _ <br />
