B. Depth of topsoiling- N/A. <br /> C. Final grading of topsoiled lands-N/A. <br /> 3. Accommodation for drainage -The drainage through the pit is winding rather than straight <br /> as if it is on a fault line. The gradient is being carefully laid in avoid any deep basins. But a <br /> small detention basin may be established just before the outlet so a better control over release <br /> can be established. <br /> 4. Revegetation- The 2014 revegetation area of 32 acres was inspected on July 3, 2019. It will <br /> be fully released in the near future. <br /> 5. Status of Prior Revegetation Areas- <br /> A. Status of newest seedings as of report date- See above. This area will be approved <br /> for release. <br /> E. Status of older revegetation as of report date(describe growth rates, cover, invasive <br /> species, native invasion, and difficulties) - Many of the older revegetation areas are <br /> fading into the surrounding landscape. The revegetation mixtures provided a good <br /> match to the native vegetation and with development and invasion these reclaimed <br /> areas are sometimes hard to distinguish from the native vegetation unless one looks <br /> very closely. However, some of the oldest reclamation areas still don't mesh as well <br /> with the native vegetation as some of the most recent reclamation. Just goes to show <br /> how much has been learned since the beginning. <br /> Individual Reclamation Areas: The newest reclamation area was described previously. <br /> F. Description of animal impacts on revegetation: No significant animal impacts <br /> were noted. Grazing appears to be well managed. <br /> WEED STATUS: <br /> 1. General overview of weed status on site: The primary weed present is cheatgrass. The <br /> areas being reclaimed are too disturbed to show much weed growth or any other kind of <br /> growth. <br /> A. Status of species that have been present in the past: In a general sense,the <br /> bottomlands still have prodigious leafy spurge. That will likely never be eradicated. <br /> But those areas are outside the areas of active reclamation and what was there was <br /> released years ago. <br /> B. New weed species: No new species were seen. <br /> 2. Feed status on lessee responsibility lands: As described above. <br /> Status report for 2019 due July 15, 2019 Page 4 of 5 <br />
