Rifle Gravel Pit#1 April 2022 <br /> • Vegetative piles will be removed from the area or used in accordance with the <br /> Reclamation Plan. <br /> 6.1.1.6 Revegetation <br /> Figure 14, Exhibit E1 and Figure 15, Exhibit E2 provide detailed information regarding the <br /> revegetation of the Rifle Pit. The proposed revegetation was selected with the following <br /> intents: <br /> • Establish a diverse, effective, and long-lasting vegetative cover that is capable of <br /> self-regeneration without continued dependence on irrigation, soil amendments or <br /> fertilizer. Native mixes were selected to comply with NRCS standards, and to match <br /> surrounding land conditions. <br /> • Provide for the greatest probability of success in plant establishment and vegetation <br /> development by considering environmental factors such as seasonal patterns of <br /> precipitation, temperature, and wind; soil texture and fertility; slope stability; and <br /> direction of slope faces. Similar attention was given to biological factors. <br /> • Ensure the establishment of a diverse and long lasting vegetative cover by <br /> employing site preparation and protection techniques such as soil conditioning; <br /> mulching; and soil amendments. <br /> • Prohibit noxious weed species through weed control methods as documented in <br /> Attachment C. See Section 6.5 for additional information. <br /> CR 346 will be used for emergency access to Rifle Pit. <br /> 6.1.1.7 Buildings and Structures <br /> There are no historical structures on the property, per a Class III cultural resource inventory <br /> completed by Flattops Archaeological Consultants. <br /> 6.1.1.8 Signs and Markers <br /> Scott will post a sign at the entrance of the property that will be clearly visible from the <br /> access road, with a minimum size equaling one hundred and eighty-seven (187) square <br /> inches, such as eleven (11) inches in heights and seventeen (17) inches in width with the <br /> information specified in Rule 3.1.12(1)(a)-(c). <br /> The boundaries of the Affected Lands will also be marked by monuments or other markers <br /> that are clearly visible and adequate to delineate such boundaries, specifically the area <br /> proposed to be disturbed (Affected Lands) by mining operations for which a Financial <br /> Warranty and Performance Warranty have been posted. <br /> 6.1.1.9 Spill Reporting <br /> Scott will notify the DRMS Office of a spill of any toxic or hazardous substance, including <br /> spills of petroleum products, within 24-hours of the time of the spill.
