8. Reclamation Timing <br /> Stormwater berms will be seeded within 15 days of their construction using the permanent <br /> rangeland mixture. All reclamation activities will be completed within two years of the completion <br /> of mining activities onsite. <br /> Table E-4 summarizes the timing of reclamation throughout the life of the mine. The anticipated <br /> timing is based on a 11 year mine life, depending on market conditions. If the mine life is <br /> extended, the appropriate years will be added to the timeline to accommodate reclamation. <br /> Table E-4.

Post-Reclamation Site Drainage <br /> Map F-1 shows blue arrows indicating the approximate direction of drainage throughout the site <br /> within the affected area. Map F-1 also shows the post mine drainage conditions in comparison <br /> to baseline and mining conditions. <br /> 10. Weed Control <br /> Measures will be employed for the control of noxious weeds. A Weed Control Plan will be <br /> utilized as follows: <br /> 1) Every April and October, a weed survey will be taken of the affected area to identify and <br /> map the presence of any noxious weeds listed by the county and the state. <br /> 2) If any patches or plants are identified, they will be controlled within 30 days. This may <br /> include mowing, tillage, or spraying them with an herbicide approved for use by the <br /> weed control staff of Saguache County. Other methods of weed control (ie: biological) <br /> may be employed from time to time depending on the nature and extent of the targeted <br /> species. <br /> 3) After reclamation, weed surreys and controls will continue until the perennial vegetation <br /> cover on the site meet DRMS requirements and bond release is obtained. <br /> Mystic Soil E-5 Lewicki&Associates <br /> November 2020 <br />
