6. Post Reclamation Site Drainage <br /> The site will drain internally following reclamation. All water that enters the site will drain to the <br /> water storage pond in the center of the site. Refer to map G-1 for the post reclamation drainage <br /> of the site. <br /> 7. Revegetation Success Criteria <br /> Revegetation will be deemed adequate when erosion is controlled, the vegetation cover <br /> matches neighboring wildlife habitat areas, and when it is considered satisfactory according to <br /> Division standards. This will be monitored for a minimum of two years following the completion <br /> of reclamation. <br /> 8. Monitoring Reclamation Success <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 Marcovich property. Plants <br /> identified through the Colorado Noxious Weed Act (C.R.S 35-5.5) and the Weld County Noxious <br /> Weed List as undesirable and designated for management within the county will be removed. <br /> Any weeds identified as List A species will be eradicated. Other lower listed plants identified as <br /> noxious weeds will be managed by control measures. A Weed Control Plan will be utilized as <br /> follows: <br /> 1) Each April, a weed survey will be taken of the permit area. <br /> 2) If any patches or plants have been identified, they will be sprayed by backpack sprayer <br /> or 4-wheeler using chemicals approved for use by the weed control staff of Weld County. <br /> 3) After reclamation, weed surveys and spraying will continue until the perennial cover and <br /> production of the site have met DRMS requirements and bond release has been <br /> obtained. <br /> The Division and Weld County staff will be consulted regarding any weed infestation areas and <br /> any control measures prior to their initiation. The plan does not contemplate total weed removal <br /> on the property. Rather, the goal is to prevent the spread of weeds into uninfected areas as is <br /> the primary goal of the Weld County Weed Management Plan. <br /> Each year during the mining operation, the permit area will be monitored closely, through which <br /> the operator may determine if any additional weeds have grown. If any new species of weeds <br /> are found, Weld County and the Division will be consulted in order to formulate the best plan for <br /> the new infestation. <br /> 8.1 . Weed List <br /> Weeds listed in Table E-1 will be eradicated or suppressed according to Weld County <br /> requirements. <br /> Marcovich Gravel Pit <br /> May 2024 E-4 Lewicki&Associates <br />
