Loveland Ready-Mix Concrete, Inc. <br /> M1974-069 AM03,TR 1 April 6,2020 <br /> Seed Rate equals 10 lbs/Acre P.L.S., double rate for broadcast seeding. <br /> Following all revegetation, weed management strategies will be implemented to facilitate and <br /> achieve native grassland. Revegetation will include an aggressive mowing program to prevent the <br /> growth and establishment of weeds, specifically, the eight noxious weeds including: Canada <br /> Thistle(Cirsium arvense),Dalmation Toadflax(Linaria dalmatica),Diffuse Knapweed(Centaurea <br /> diffusa). Leafy Spurge (Euphorbia esula), Musk Thistle (Carduus nutans), Russian Knapweed <br /> (Centaurea repens), Spotted Knapweed (Centaurea maculosa), and Yellow Toadflax (Linaria <br /> vulgaris) as mandated by Colorado State Law(35-5.5CRS1990, 1996). <br /> If needed, herbicide application will be applied as needed to further control weeds. Herbicides <br /> will also be used to control Saltecedar (Tamarix spp.) if it becomes established in the reclaimed <br /> area. There are currently no Russian Olives within the mining boundary,any new startups will be <br /> removed. <br /> Select chemical control techniques that are known to: be effective on the targeted weeds, have <br /> minimal impacts on surrounding desired plants, are selective, and can be applied with precision. <br /> • Rhizomatous perennial noxious weeds should be treated with carefully selected <br /> herbicides because other control methods are not effective or cause significant soil <br /> disturbance. <br /> • Herbicide experts will be consulted to thoroughly understand the characteristics, <br /> effectiveness, timing of application, and application rates of potential herbicides, as well <br /> as,the impacts of the herbicides on the site's native plant community. <br /> • If possible,select herbicides that are effective on the targeted weed and have low impacts <br /> on surrounding plant families. <br /> • Work with herbicide specialists to select an application timing that will have minimal <br /> impacts on surrounding plants. <br /> • Read and follow information on the herbicide label, especially the "Environmental <br /> Hazards" section and if available, any information under the "Endangered Species <br /> Protection Requirements" section. <br /> • Carefully assess the impacts of the herbicide's soil residual. <br /> •Minimize potential drift of herbicide droplets or migration through the soil or water table <br /> by using carefully selected herbicides and method of application. <br /> • Utilize herbicide application techniques that have high precision, such as backpack <br /> sprayers. <br /> The existing haul roads will remain for access to the ponds and for property maintenance. The <br /> batch plant and office area will also remain at their present locations. As can be seen from the <br /> photomap of Exhibits C-1 and F-1,most of the existing trees in the area will not be disturbed. <br />
