3. Revegetation Plan <br /> For each area of reclamation, soil may be disked to loosen surficial soils. Due to the mild <br /> grade, seed can be drilled in most areas, but broadcast seeding will be utilized where reclaimed <br /> perimeter slopes do not allow drilling. The seed mix listed below will be used to revegetate the <br /> site with a native grass mix on all surfaces. Certified weed free mulch may be crimped into the <br /> surface at 2 tons. per acre. Seeding will take place during the fall following retopsoiling of <br /> slopes. Slopes will be regraded, backfilled, and retopsoiled as soon as they are able to be <br /> reclaimed and as additional mining areas become active. <br /> 3.1 Native Grass Seed Mix <br /> Species Pounds of pure live seed Rer acre <br /> (drilled) <br /> Blue grama 0.60 <br /> Sideoats grama 3.60 <br /> Little bluestem 1.40 <br /> Galleta grass 1.20 <br /> Sand dropseed 0.05 <br /> Broadcast seeding will be done at double the drill rate. <br /> 4. Weed Control <br /> Measures will be employed for the control of any noxious weed species. Plants identified <br /> through the Colorado Noxious Weed Act (C.R.S. 35-5.5) and the Pueblo County Noxious <br /> Weed List as undesirable and designated for management within the County will be removed. <br /> Plants identified as noxious weeds will be managed by control measures. The Division and <br /> Pueblo County staff will be consulted regarding any weed infestation areas and control <br /> measures to be implemented prior to their initiation. All areas of the mining operation will be <br /> monitored closely throughout the year allowing the Operator to determine if any additional <br /> weeds become present. <br />
