The irrigated pastureland vegetation will be deemed adequate when erosion is controlled, and the <br />vegetation is growing. The landowner has requested this post mining land use and will take over <br />maintenance after bond release. An irrigation water right is present for this property. <br />8. Monitoring Reclamation Success <br />Monitoring the reclamation on an ongoing basis will ensure its success. The operator plans to use <br />the local NRCS office to determine the capacity of the reclaimed land to control erosion. If minor <br />changes or modifications are needed to the seeding and reclamation plan, revision plans will be <br />submitted to the Division. It is hoped that the Division will provide assistance in evaluating the <br />success of the ongoing reclamation process. Information on all areas disturbed and reclaimed as <br />well as any other important items regarding the reclamation will be submitted in the annual reports <br />to the Division. The local government and Division of Parks and Wildlife will also be consulted on <br />the progress of the reclamation. <br />9. Weed Control <br />Measures will be employed for the control of any noxious weed species. Control measures will also <br />be used if the growth of weed species on the reclaimed area threatens further spread of the weeds to <br />nearby areas. A Weed Control Plan will be utilized as follows: <br />1) Every April and October, a weed survey will be taken of the permit area to identify the <br />presence of any noxious weeds listed by the county and the state. <br />2) If any patches or plants have been identified, they will be sprayed within 30 days by <br />backpack sprayer or 4 -wheeler using chemicals approved for use by the weed control staff <br />of Eagle County or the Town of Gypsum. <br />3) After reclamation, weed surveys and spraying will continue until the perennial cover and <br />production of the site have met DRMS requirements and bond release has been obtained. <br />The Division and local weed control staff will be consulted regarding any weed infestation areas <br />and any control measures prior to their initiation. The plan does not contemplate total weed removal <br />Rincon Materials E-6 Greg Lcwicki and Assaciatm PIA C <br />February 2020 <br />
