List as undesirable and designated for management within the County will be removed. Plants <br /> identified as noxious weeds will be managed by control measures. A Weed Control Plan will be <br /> utilized as follows: <br /> 1) Periodically. a weed survey will be taken of the permit area. <br /> 2) If any weedy patches or noxious plants are identified. chemicals approved for use by the <br /> weed control staff of Custer County will be sprayed by backpack sprayer or 4-wheeler. <br /> 3) After reclamation. weed control will continue until the site meets DRMS permit release <br /> requirements. <br /> The plan does not contemplate total weed removal on the property. Past experiences show that <br /> some initial weed cover in the first year following growth medium application is beneficial to <br /> reclamation efforts in rangeland sites. Weeds provide shade for new grasses and are a means of <br /> holding snow on the seedbed longer and protect seedlings from wind and water erosion until the <br /> planted species firmly take hold. <br /> All phases and areas of the mining operation will be monitored closely throughout the year <br /> allowing the Operator to determine if any additional weeds become present and formulate the <br /> best plan to mitigate the new infestation. <br /> .S'iskin Pit <br /> El Le" <br /> January 2021 E-5 <br />
