d) Frequent mowing is the best means of reduce excessive mowing residue and sunlight shock <br /> from removing the weed cover. <br /> e) Mowing improves native grass seedlings' ability to compete with weeds. <br /> f) Mowing for weed control will be relied on throughout the establishment period. <br /> 4) When cover crops are proven prior to native seeding, it may be beneficial to control weeds in the <br /> cover crop. Herbicides will be chosen that will not carryover in the soil to cause problems for new <br /> native grasses. Native grass species can be sensitive to herbicides prior to becoming fully established <br /> and it is our intention to avoid herbicides the first year. <br /> 5) Weed management strategies will be implemented from the outset to achieve final reclamation. <br /> a) Methods include keeping healthy pastures, using weed-free crop seed,weed-free manure and <br /> hay, and clean harvesting and tillage equipment,as well as the elimination of weed infestations <br /> in areas bordering cropland, and in irrigation ditches and canals. <br /> b) Cultural: Methods include and are not limited to:Setting up and managing an adequate <br /> population of desirable vegetation to compete with the weeds; using livestock(cattle,goats, <br /> sheep)when possible;mulching; burning;and even plastic weed barriers. <br /> c) Mechanical:Methods include mowing and tillage. <br /> d) Biological: Biological weed control involves the use of natural enemies for the control of specific <br /> weed species.This method can be successful especially when combined with other control <br /> methods. <br /> e) Chemical:Always read the label before using any herbicide! <br /> i) If needed, herbicide application will be applied to further control weed infestations per the <br /> recommendation of a licensed and bonded herbicide applicator.ASCI will work with a <br /> knowledgeable area agronomists who is experienced with local conditions. <br /> SCHEDULE <br /> Stiles Mining Rnauroe Radam tlan thaw and tiledr fdrdule App►ani naI Tear for operation <br /> Wrier Mine suffer Seeding& <br /> DESCRIPTION Blare Mine Anna BbrtArae BaddRl Control and Weed ReclNarraBorr <br /> Phase West ] Seeding Control <br /> IYRea01aie1(Nfeat3lrnierfraroatBQ W 12 2W mn NA 200 <br /> Pismo <br /> MUei(MkldleSutiRyParttitl) Ill - t3 22 NA 2024 <br /> Mine Pl=e 2(WestSorvey Pxael B WII 20U <br /> a 20322 2031 20 <br /> Q 2 ZR a N 2028 236 <br /> 28 36 <br /> 3'h 1].Y' BD036; 2006 2D41 minepi 3"O"eSurveTP �arceiQ 3 10 2W 2W 20M6 <br /> - � 2D45 2a5o <br /> t� 1D' 2Q22' 2W2M3 <br /> oty of eras-35tlk Arramre Wight of" All 3A-3D 6 X" 2W 2DM8 2053 <br /> �# 11.2' 7B 2051 2056 <br /> #MbrePlawe4{M(ddktarveyiVrodlQ 2B64 21i?2 XM 2059 <br /> +4C 2058 2063 <br /> Total I Writers]— t85UrAae a" 125.0 Acres <br /> ToW Affected iWmMe wu of Ew OMAI 151.3 Acres <br /> -All mine buffers will be mowed and maintained fortha duration ofthe nine operation and reclamation. <br /> -We plan to combat the significant bwasive,nonnathie weed spades on this site with the use of native plants for revegetation and <br /> reclamation. <br /> -The Hunt Brothers property,Parcel 1 and II are Is batng annaad by the City of Evans and all three Parels will be zoned as a Heavy <br /> Industrial(1-3)area. <br /> Mine blocks 1A and 18 have been lndentiNed as heavy industrial areas(11-3). <br /> -The remaining mine blocks 2A through,D are zoned asa heavy tMusty district(11).When an Industrial use is identified for an <br /> area,the land will be developed forthirt Industrial use.DBMS will be notified priorto Industrial development. <br /> -All remaining Mine Block areas will be reclaimed as drylard notivegrass pasture until the identification of an appropriate <br /> Industrial use. <br /> H:\Pits HBP Plants\EVANS\Stiles Mining Resource\Exh E Reclamation\Exhibit E Reclamation Plan.dorx <br />
