If seed is to be broadcast, the application rate will <br /> be doubled. <br /> The seed mix for final reclamation as described above does not require fertilizer per the <br /> information provided by the DRMS. The seeded areas will be covered with dead crop litter from <br /> sorghum or milo crop forage, or with straw mulch at a rate of 2,000 pounds per acre. <br /> If a significant invasion of noxious weeds occurs after seeding, the weeds will be mowed before <br /> they can go to seed. The areas will be mowed periodically for additional control as needed. <br /> Mechanical control will be used as a first priority. Chemical methods will only be used if no other <br /> alternative produces acceptable results. <br /> For temporary earthen stockpiles, the reclamation plan includes re-vegetating with appropriate <br /> seed mixes to minimize erosion and establish more rapidly to stabilize the stockpiles. If a <br /> temporary earthen stockpile remains more than one growing season, it will be seeded with the <br /> seed mix above to prevent erosion. <br /> Water—General Requirement <br /> To minimize the effect on the prevailing hydrologic balance, IHC Scott, Inc. will: <br /> a. Comply with all applicable Colorado water laws. <br /> b. Comply with all applicable Federal and State water quality laws and regulations. <br /> c. Comply with all Federal and State requirements for dredge and fill. <br /> d. Re-grade and backfill all sediment and siltation structures after mining is completed. <br /> e. Monitor groundwater levels adjacent to the site and mitigate any damage to adjacent wells <br /> that dewatering activities may have. (See Exhibit G) <br /> Groundwater—Specific Requirements <br /> The operation will not affect groundwater quality on or off the site. The operation will comply with <br /> State groundwater quality standards. <br /> The mining and reclamation may affect the groundwater table surrounding the mine site. The <br /> proposed mitigation efforts to minimize these impacts are recharge ponds or ditches in necessary <br /> areas to maintain groundwater levels during the mining, and a perimeter drain if needed to convey <br /> IHC Scott,Inc <br /> UT Consulting,Inc.
