reclamation and bond release is expected to be completed by 2087 or within 65 years from the <br /> start of mining. Mining and final reclamation may occur quicker or faster than the estimates <br /> included herein based on market conditions and demand. <br /> 6.4.5(2)(f) <br /> Final mined design slopes of 2.01-I:1.OV will remain constant. The 2.011:1.OV finished slopes <br /> w ill match the natural landforms surrounding the mined area thereby allowing the reclaimed <br /> mine area to blend naturally with adjacent existing pre-mine landforms. This 80-foot-tall slope <br /> will include on contour drainage ditches—"catch ditches"—every 20 vertical feet to prevent <br /> riling. These catch ditches will be ripped into the slope following final grading of each lift. <br /> Fertilization of reclamation vegetation is not expected. If following initial revegetation attempts, <br /> fertilization is required. amendments will be determined via soil testing and verified for proper <br /> nutrients required by the chosen reclamation species. By using onsite stockpiled materials and <br /> completing reclamation of mined phases concurrently with active mining, the distance that <br /> growth medium is transported. as well as the amount of material to be rehandled, will be <br /> minimized. <br /> Map F-1 shows planned post-reclamation roads to remain indefinitely as determined by the <br /> landowner. <br /> Reclaimed areas will be deemed adequate when vegetation is established. when noxious weeds <br /> are not present in any significant amounts, and when all of the conditions of Rule 3.1.10 are met. <br /> Monitoring reclamation on an ongoing basis will allow minor revisions to assure efficient and <br /> successful reclamation. If minor changes or modifications are needed to the seeding and <br /> reclamation plan. revision plans will be submitted to the Division. as required. It is anticipated <br /> that the Division will provide assistance in evaluating the success of ongoing reclamation <br /> processes. All areas disturbed and reclaimed and any other important items regarding <br /> reclamation will be submitted in the required annual reports to the Division. <br /> Measures will be employed for the control of any noxious weed species. The objective of this <br /> weed management plan is to control undesirable plants on the Siskin site. Plants identified <br /> through the Colorado Noxious Weed Act (C.R.S. 35-5.5) and the Custer County Noxious Weed <br /> .Siskin Pi/ <br /> 1 �uriairti <br /> .Jan11a1'l'2024 E-� lxtiicl i �' <br />
