Based on an in-depth study and field experience, the native wildlife prefer steep, rocky, open, and escape <br />terrain with good forage and little tree cover. No evergreen trees will be planted. There may be some natural <br />propagation of evergreen trees into the seeded area, or the Operator may choose to plant them voluntarily, but they <br />are not part of this Reclamation Plan. <br />Weed Control during Reclamation <br />A weed monitoring survey will be conducted at the site in May or early June of each year when state and county <br />listed noxious weed species can be most easily identified. The survey will concentrate on species listed in the <br />Colorado Noxious Weed Act, including List "A", "B", and "C" species, and in accordance with the Clear Creek County <br />Noxious Weed Management and Enforcement Plan (Ordinance #11-A). <br />The Operator will implement an integrated weed management plan during reclamation activities until the <br />reclamation permit is released. This plan may be developed in conjunction with the Clear Creek County Weed <br />Management Office. The integrated weed management plan may include elements such as mowing, tillage, <br />grazing, biological controls, spraying, and hand pulling in order to achieve effective control. <br />� TETRA TECH P a g e 5 � 7 <br />
