Rifle Gravel Pit#1 May 2023 <br /> infestation is common on the property and in surrounding areas, and complete eradication <br /> will not be feasible given limitations in control methods and surrounding infestations. <br /> Additional information regarding noxious weed control includes the commitment that Scott <br /> will treat all noxious weeds on a biannual basis, with an herbicide application in the spring <br /> (late June)and late summer (late August). Gravel storage piles will be treated with a bare <br /> ground herbicide if the piles are expected to remain for more than 1 season. Scott will use a <br /> Colorado-certified herbicide applicator. All work equipment will be sanitized and have any <br /> existing dirt, vegetation, or seeds from landscaping and operational work removed before <br /> leaving the work area. Prior to bond release, Scott will conduct a noxious weed inventory <br /> and bond release reports developed by third parties for submittal to DRMS and Garfield <br /> County. <br /> 6.6 Reclamation Plan Schedule <br /> The reclamation seeding plans will occur by mining phase and comply with the County and <br /> CDOT standards for application rates. <br /> See Section 6.3.3 for a discussion of the temporary and long-term seeding and <br /> revegetation plans. See Section 6.4 for a discussion of how the success of the revegetation <br /> plans will be monitored. See Section 6.5 for a discussion of how noxious weeds will be <br /> controlled. <br /> 6.6.1 Previously Disturbed/Unnecessary Areas <br /> Reclamation of unnecessary mine components (e.g., previously used areas which no longer <br /> will provide productive aggregate extraction) is limited due to the wet mining process that <br /> Scott will use. Previously used areas will be incorporated into the pond area, and no active <br /> reclamation is proposed for most of the pond. The wetland fringe along the edge of the pond <br /> will be constructed as the project progresses through Phase 3. It will then be surfaced with <br /> topsoil material and seeded/planted during Phase 4, although it may require several years <br /> for appropriate reclamation species establishment and weed control. The wetland fringe <br /> areas are not anticipated to exceed 0.7 acres. <br /> Once mining activity is complete, Scott will use the Operating Area for temporary equipment <br /> storage. <br /> 6.6.2 Active Mining Areas <br /> Reclamation of the perimeter berms will be initiated upon completion of the construction of <br /> the perimeter berms during Phase 1, and reclamation maintenance and monitoring will <br /> proceed contemporaneously with the mining activity of Phase 2 and Phase 3. Reclamation <br /> of these areas may take up to a year for regrading, contouring, and reseeding, and multiple <br /> years after that to establish reclamation species and control noxious weeds. The berm <br /> reclamation areas will include 2.87 acres. Reclamation is not proposed beyond the outer toe <br /> of the perimeter berm as no disturbance is expected in that area, other than minor spot <br /> treatments including seeding or weed control to address incidental impacts from berm <br /> construction. <br /> 6.7 Monitoring Reclamation Success <br /> Continued monitoring of the reclamation will ensure its success. Scott used input from the <br /> local NRCS office and Garfield County to determine the capacity of the reclaimed land to <br /> support vegetation to control erosion. If minor changes or modifications are needed to the <br /> 40 <br />
