All areas of the mining operation will be monitored closely throughout the year allowing the <br /> Operator to determine if any additional weeds become present. If any new weed species are <br /> found,Montrose County and the Division will be consulted to formulate the best plan to mitigate <br /> the new infestation. <br /> 8. Revegetation Success Criteria <br /> Areas will be deemed adequate when vegetation is established to control erosion and noxious <br /> weeds are not present in any significant amounts and all of the conditions of Rule 3.1.10 are met. <br /> 9. Monitoring Reclamation Success <br /> Monitoring reclamation on an ongoing basis will allow minor revisions to assure efficient and <br /> successful reclamation. The Operator plans to use the local NRCS office to assist in determining <br /> the ability of the reclaimed land to control erosion. If minor changes or modifications are needed <br /> to the seeding and reclamation plan,revision plans will be submitted to the Division,as required. <br /> It is hoped that the Division will provide assistance in evaluating the success of ongoing <br /> reclamation processes. All areas disturbed and reclaimed and any other important items <br /> regarding reclamation will be submitted in the required annual reports to the Division. <br /> 10. Reclamation Bond <br /> The reclamation bond will be calculated based on the worst-case scenario which would entail the <br /> entire 9.6-acre site being disturbed and requiring reclamation. Topsoiling of the maximum <br /> disturbed area will require—5380 CY of topsoil, applied at a 4-inch depth, laid across the <br /> maximum ten acres of reclaimable disturbed area. Fertilizer may be applied,as needed. <br /> The bond for the site will be based upon $2,500 per acre.The bond will be calculated based on a <br /> worse-case scenario of the entire site requiring reclamation. Therefore,the bond will cover 9.6 <br /> acres x$2,500.00 per acre= $24,000.00. <br /> Weimer Ranches #4 <br /> June 2021 D-4 <br />
