reports. We commit to use the following mix. However, if the forest service changes this <br /> recommended mix in the future we will submit the revised seeded mixture as a Technical Revision to <br /> the approved reclamation plan for review and approved by the Division. The actual seed mixture to <br /> be used has ben approved by the U.S.D.A. Forest Service in our plan of operations and is detailed <br /> below: <br /> Plant Name Seeding Rate(PLS/Acre) <br /> Elymus lanceolatus(thickspike wheatgrass var. Critana) 23%9.2 Ibs <br /> Bromus marginatus(mountain brome vac Bromar) 20%8.0 Ibs <br /> Festuca ovina(sheep fescue var. Covar) 15%6.0 Ibs <br /> Koeleria cristata(prairie junegrass) 15%6.0 Ibs <br /> Leymus cinereus(great basin wildrye) 10%4.0 Ibs <br /> Bouteloua gracilis(blue gramma var. Hachita) 10%4.0 Ibs <br /> Poa canbyi(canby bluegrass var. Canbar) 5%2.0 Ibs <br /> Trifolium fragiferum (strawberry clover) 2% .8 Ibs <br /> (iv) The application method for grass seeding will be broadcast @ 40 lbs live seed per acre. The <br /> application rate has been adjusted for broadcast seeding. IF the seedbed has not been adequately <br /> roughened prior to seeding, the seed will be raked or harrowed after broadcast application. <br /> (v) Mulch will not be used. Only existing vegetation salvaged along with the topsoil will be used. <br /> (vi)No new trees or shrubs will be established. However, there is an existing healthy growth of young <br /> aspens on Site 1 that we can move into the reclaimed areas. <br /> 6.3.4 (1) (d) <br /> N/A <br /> 6.3.4 (1) (e) <br /> N/A <br /> 6.3.4 (2) <br /> Cost estimate to reclaim the site: <br /> The total area of disturbance is estimated to be 1.39 acres. However, our cost estimates are based on <br /> the more conservative estimate of 2 acres.As such, we commit to disturbing no more than 1.39 total <br /> acres, and we commit to disturbing no more than .60 acres at any one time. We also commit to not <br /> opening more than 2 pits at any one time. <br /> We also commit to contacting the DRMS prior to advancing our operation beyond 1.39 acres. We will <br /> request a release or request a financial warranty reduction on at least the equivalent size of reclaimed <br /> land OR post the Division's calculated additional financial warranty for the proposed advancement. <br />
