4. Reclamation Timing <br /> Stormwater berms will be seeded within 90 days of their construction using the permanent <br /> rangeland mixture. All reclamation activities will be completed within two years of the <br /> completion of mining activities onsite. <br /> Table E-4 summarizes the timing of reclamation throughout the life of the mine. The anticipated <br /> timing is based on a five year mine life, depending on market conditions. If the mine life is <br /> extended,the appropriate years will be added to the timeline to accommodate reclamation. <br /> Table E-4. Reclamation Timetable <br /> Years Activity <br /> 1 Stripping of initial mining area <br /> 1 Mining of pit, beginning in the south and progressing north <br /> __--.__ _ <br /> 1-4 Reclaim slopes to rangeland as mining progresses north <br /> 4 Removal of all portable equipment,fuel tanks, and pumpset and reclamation of remaining <br /> disturbed areas <br /> 4-5 Revegetation monitoring <br /> 5. Post-Reclamation Site Drainage <br /> Map F-1 shows blue arrows indicating the approximate direction of drainage throughout the site <br /> within the affected area. Map G-1 shows the post mine drainage conditions in comparison to <br /> baseline and mining conditions. <br /> 6. Weed Control <br /> Measures will be employed for the control of noxious weeds. A Weed Control Plan will be <br /> utilized as follows: <br /> 1) Every April and October, a weed survey will be taken of the affected area to identify and <br /> map the presence of any noxious weeds listed by the county and the state. <br /> 2) If any patches or plants are identified,they will be controlled within 30 days. This may <br /> include mowing, tillage, or spraying them with an herbicide approved for use by the weed <br /> control staff of Mesa County. Other methods of weed control (ie: biological)may be <br /> employed from time to time depending on the nature and extent of the targeted species. <br /> 23 114 West <br /> July 2020 E-5 Greg t ewicki and.Associates PI.1.(' <br />
