2. Topsoiling-No topsoiling was done in the last year. But it is coming later this year. <br /> A. Locations of topsoiling- N/A. <br /> B. Depth of topsoiling- N/A. <br /> C. Final grading of topsoiled lands -N/A. <br /> 3. Accommodation for drainage -As stated previously, a drainage plan has been prepared for <br /> the pit. The plan calls for a 3 foot drop in elevation from the back of the pit at the base of the <br /> planned 5:1 slopes to the outlet at the northeast corner of the pit. Currently, the drainage ends in <br /> a deep pit which would hold a large amount of water, but has no outlet. That would retain water <br /> on site, but that requires owning water rights. Therefore an outlet is planned into an adjacent <br /> intermittent channel that originally handled water from this same area. The design should keep <br /> discharge to similar amounts to what originally went into the adjacent channel. <br /> 4. Revegetation - None performed, but planting will occur after topsoiling, probably this next <br /> winter. <br /> 5. Status of Prior Revegetation Areas- <br /> A. Status of newest seedings as of report date- No newly seeded areas. <br /> E. Status of older revegetation as of report date (describe growth rates, cover, invasive <br /> species, native invasion, and difficulties) - Most of the older revegetation areas, all <br /> of which have been approved and released from responsibility, continue in good <br /> condition and show continued development toward a composition and structure similar <br /> to the natural vegetation. That was accomplished using native seeds of the same species <br /> g P g <br /> as the natural vegetation and allowing invasion from the natural vegetation into the <br /> revegetated areas. A few are different due to planting a different seed mixture that was <br /> appropriate and approved at the time, but later changed to the current approved mixture. <br /> Individual Reclamation Areas: None noted that are really unique. <br /> F. Description o animal impacts on revegetation: No significant animal impacts <br /> P .r P g 1� P <br /> were noted. Grazing appears to be continuing in some areas in a well managed fashion. <br /> A nice change from the past with the former grazing lessee. Very positive impacts <br /> everywhere including the channel vegetation of Coal Creek. <br /> WEED STATUS: <br /> 1. General overview of weed status on site: The affected land has localized weed issues with <br /> diffuse knapweed being the most problematic. Control of this and other weeds are included in <br /> the finalized reclamation plan the company will use in the reclamation. No new weed species <br /> seen on the site. <br /> Status report for 2020 due July 15, 2020 Page 3 of 4 <br />
