For specific information <br /> concerning water and groundwater at the site please refer to Exhibit G. <br /> Reclamation of the mine will require that the revegetated areas remain in compliance with <br /> state Noxious Weed regulations and the Adams County weed control plan (see attachments 1 <br /> and 2 of this exhibit for noxious weed lists). Not only required by regulation the control of <br /> noxious weeds is also of benefit to the landowner. By controlling and eradicating the noxious <br /> weeds the land will benefit economically, by being of higher quality cropland and rangeland. <br /> Basic actions will be taken to manage the noxious weeds. Weed management will begin before <br /> the reclamation process begins by properly salvaging the topsoil that will be stripped prior to <br /> mining taking place, reestablishing plants will be difficult otherwise. Information on topsoil <br /> stockpiling and its management can be found elsewhere in the permit application exhibits. <br /> During the course of the mining operations the disturbed area will be monitored for noxious <br /> weed growth, and as much as practicable, minimize the total disturbed area at any one time. <br /> Care will be taken to assure that the seed is planted properly, information on planting <br /> technique can be found in Exhibit E Reclamation Plan. In order to mitigate the possibility of <br /> noxious weed growth while the planted seed mix begins to establish itself the straw mulch will <br /> be verified to be free of any weeds and seed. <br /> While the reclaimed portion(s) of the affected lands' seed begins to establish itself, the areas <br /> will be monitored for any noxious weed growth. If noxious weeds are found to be growing in <br /> the affected lands there are a number of strategies that can be implemented to control the <br /> weeds impact on the affected land. The main method of noxious weed control will be by <br /> mechanical means, which may include hand pulling, mowing and/or digging. If an area of <br /> noxious weeds has become too large or has passed a point that mechanical means will no <br /> longer be a viable option of weed control then chemical options will need to be explored. The <br /> type of herbicide will depend on the species trying to be controlled. If chemical means of weed <br /> control are deemed necessary then an individual, or entity, that is familiar with herbicides and <br /> weeds will be consulted for recommendations on herbicide type, application, safety and any <br /> other areas of concern in the use of chemical products. <br /> Kelley Trucking Inc. is currently exploring options with the City of Aurora (COA) on how to <br /> reclaim the Watkins Road. Depending on our discussions with the City of Aurora the Watkins <br /> Road will either remain in its condition at the conclusion of mining or the road will be removed <br /> and reclaimed as described in this exhibit. <br />
