fertilization done following seeding should be done using a method that does not cause large <br /> scale disturbance of the surface. If needed, fertilizer mixtures will be based upon soil tests made <br /> on samples taken from re-soiled areas prior to seeding. Mulch may be applied if desired, but only <br /> if the mulch is very strongly crimped into the soil to prevent high winds from blowing it away <br /> and providing little benefit. If mulch is used, certified weed-less straw mulch at a rate <br /> of 2,000 pounds per acre should be applied. <br /> Future revegetated areas will only need a temporary, fast growing grass mix to stabilize soils. <br /> Therefore, the same seed mix that has previously been used to stabilize stockpiles shall be <br /> expanded and used in all other revegetation areas. The new seed mixture for the proposed permit <br /> area is listed below. <br /> Reclamation Grass Seed Mixture <br /> Rate <br /> Grass Species <br /> (lbs PLS/acre) <br /> Intermediate Wheatgrass 5.0 <br /> Blue Grama 1.0 <br /> Triticale 1.25 <br /> Rates are for drill and broadcast seeding. <br /> Overall, the current Larimer County Noxious Weed Management Plan shall be applied if a <br /> significant invasion of noxious weeds occurs after seeding or other surface stabilization. The <br /> weeds will be mowed before they can go to seed and mowed periodically for additional control <br /> as needed. Mechanical control will be used as a first priority. Chemical methods will only be <br /> used if no other alternative produces acceptable results. List A species must be managed for <br /> eradication with the goal of elimination from the state of Colorado. List B species must be <br /> managed for eradication outside of the designated county containment boundary and associated <br /> buffer zone. Inside the containment boundary, a List B species must be suppressed and stopped <br /> from spreading onto adjacent property. List C species are recommended for management, but <br /> management is not required by law and is left to the local governing entity's discretion. <br /> Periodic inspection for noxious weeds, at least once a year early in the season, will be done. The <br /> weed inspection will search for not only the expected species but also any new List A or B <br /> species introductions. It is possible that non-noxious and List C species will also be found. <br /> Non-noxious weeds, which are often native invaders, do not need to be controlled, but if the <br /> population of a List C species is controllable then it will be included in the control program. The <br /> current complete list of noxious weed species and local management plans is available from the <br /> Larimer County Department of Natural Resources. <br /> Ttmnath Connell Pit <br /> DRMS 112 Permit Amendment Application Page 14 <br />
