Walstrum Spur Amendment, Exhibit E-Reclamation Plan revised September 2021 <br /> Table E-3 presents the reclamation seed mix and application rate where PLS = Pure Live Seeds. Seeding will be <br /> done in March-June and/or September-December of each seeding year. Irrigation is not necessary for successful <br /> native vegetation establishment. <br /> Table E-3-Reclamation Seed Mix and Application Rate <br /> Desired Species Rate Rate <br /> Species <br /> Composition (pounds .

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 /> QTETRA TECH P a g e 5 17 <br />
