glyphosate (Roundup) (for downy brome). Curtail and Escort are soil persistent, <br /> broadleaf selective herbicides appropriate for the proposed use. Roundup is a non- <br /> persistent, broad spectrum herbicide, appropriate for use on the topsoil stockpile to control <br /> downy brome prior to reseeding with perennial grass. <br /> The following specific findings are required. <br /> A. The applicant has proposed the use of persistent pesticides on the site during mining <br /> and/or reclamation operations. The Division proposes to approve this usage <br /> (4.18(5)(g)). <br /> B. Fish and wildlife habitat is a planned post-mining land use. The applicant has <br /> selected appropriate plant species and distributions to benefit fish and wildlife <br /> (4.18(5)(i)). <br /> XIV. Protection of Underground Mining—Rule 4.19 <br /> No specific approvals are granted to the applicant under this section. <br /> XV. Subsidence Control—Rule 4.20 <br /> Subsidence information is included in Section 2.1.9 of the application. Information <br /> provided demonstrates the absence of renewable resource lands or structures in the permit <br /> and adjacent areas which would potentially be affected by subsidence. As a result, no <br /> subsidence monitoring is necessary, and a subsidence control plan is not required. <br /> There is a small area of privately owned surface within the permit area that is scheduled to <br /> be undermined in the future. The operator has committed within the application(p. 2-24) <br /> to provide written notification to surface owners at least six months prior to initiation of <br /> mining beneath their properties, as required by Rule 4.20.2. A sample notification letter is <br /> provided on page 2-25 of the application. <br /> XVL Concurrent Surface and Underground Mining—Rule 4.22 <br /> No specific approvals are granted to the applicant under this section. <br /> XVII. Operations on Alluvial Valley Floors—Rule 4.24 <br /> Sufficient information was provided by the applicant to determine that the East Salt Creek <br /> Valley within and adjacent to the permit area is an alluvial valley floor(AVF),based on <br /> the extent of alluvial deposits, and potential for irrigation as demonstrated by the existence <br /> of irrigated hayland in the mine vicinity. <br /> The alluvial valley floor assessment is presented on pages 4-4 through 4-9 of the PAP, <br /> and the extent of the AVF, and nature of the agricultural practices on the AVF is depicted <br /> on Figure 4.1-2 of the PAP. Approximately 1 acre of undeveloped rangeland AFV was <br /> xxviii <br />
