V*ed Control <br /> Meas' es will be employed for the control of any noxious weed species. The objective of this <br /> weed lanagement plan is to control undesirable plants on the Cerise Mine property. Plants <br /> identifik"'through the Colorado Noxious Weed Act(C.R.S. 35-5.5) and the Garfield County <br /> Noxioq� Weed List as undesirable and designated for management within the county. These <br /> plants' entified as noxious weeds will be managed by control measures. A Weed Control Plan <br /> will bettilized as follows: <br /> 1) !Each April, a weed survey will be taken of the permit area. <br /> ;f a <br /> 2) ,If any patches or plants have been identified, they will be sprayed by backpack sprayer <br /> �or 4-wheeler using chemicals that are approved for use by the weed control staff of <br /> 'Garfield County. <br /> 3) �j' er reclamation,weed surveys and spraying will continue until the perennial cover and <br /> oduction of the site have met DRMS requirements and bond release has been <br /> ' ttained. <br /> The D11sion and Garfield County staff will be consulted regarding any weed infestation areas <br /> and ar, ,,control measures prior to their initiation. The plan does not contemplate total weed <br /> remove on the property. Past experience has shown that some initial weed cover in the first <br /> year f fiwing the retopsoiling is beneficial to the reclamation effort in rangeland site. Weeds <br /> tend ovide shade for new grasses, are a means of holding snow on the seedbed longer and <br /> prote i * it from wind and water erosion until the planted species have taken hold. <br /> During„ 'I phases of the mining operation the permit area will be monitored closely every year, <br /> throug ('which the operator may determine if any additional weeds have grown. If any new <br /> specig of weeds are found, Garfield County and the Division will be consulted in order to <br /> forma to the best plan for the new infestation. <br /> ,c <br /> a•, <br /> j�FI <br /> t. <br /> �sr <br /> ,c <br /> �wt <br /> .t.� <br /> rise Mine <br /> E 5 I.ewicki 8i Associates <br /> i �tt <br /> ii <br /> W. <br /> •,t <br /> I�P. <br />
