discovery shall be immediately brought to the attention of the Authorized <br /> Officer. <br /> c. Avoidance: All vertebrate or scientifically significant paleontological resources <br /> found as a result of the project/action will be avoided during operations. <br /> Avoidance in this case means "No action or disturbance within a distance of at <br /> least 100 feet of the outer edge of the paleontological locality." <br /> 19. Reclamation <br /> a. Concurrent reclamation will be conducted where practicable. When concurrent <br /> reclamation is not possible,topsoil will be stored in a BLM approved and signed <br /> location within the disturbance perimeter. <br /> b. Adequate material will be left in the pit to allow for a final reclamation slope of <br /> 3:1. <br /> c. All pits, access roads, and other disturbance areas will be reclaimed immediately <br /> when they are no longer needed. <br /> d. The operator shall initiate complete reclamation of the pit with 1 year of inactivity <br /> in the pit. <br /> e. All reclamation activities should be completed as soon as possible after <br /> reclamation is initiated. <br /> f. Any gravel material will be removed from the stripped area and the remaining <br /> area will be recontoured to blend with the surrounding natural topography. <br /> g. Growth medium will be placed on the surface of the recontoured area. <br /> h. A seed mix and rate, approved by the BLM,will be used for reclamation. <br /> i. Cover seed-1/2 inch deep,using a drag bar, chain, or similar method. <br /> j. The area(including the road)will be considered successfully reclaimed when the <br /> following standards are met: <br /> i. The recontoured surface blends with the natural topography. A 3:1 slope <br /> will be the angle of final reclamation unless it can be demonstrated <br /> impractical for discrete areas beforehand,with concurrence from BLM. <br /> ii. The recontoured surface is stabilized and erosion does not occur. <br /> iii. A vegetative cover of desired species, at least equal to that of the pre- <br /> disturbance condition(-30%), is present. <br /> APPENDIX C: INTERDISCIPLINARY TEAM CHECKLIST <br /> ID TEAM CHECKLIST <br /> DETERMINATION OF STAFF:(Choose one of the following abbreviated options for the left column) <br /> Disappointment Valley Gravel Pit Expansion EA DOI-BLM-CO-S010-2024-0021 EA <br /> Tres Rios Field Office <br /> 19 <br />
