Reclamation Seeding: <br /> The following seed mix will be used: <br /> % mix PLS/AC* <br /> Smooth Bromegrass 40% 13.0 <br /> Intermediate wheatgrass 35% 20.0 <br /> Alfalfa 25% 8.0 <br /> 5. Post Reclamation Site Drainage <br /> Once reclamation is deemed successful, stormwater berms will be graded and site wide <br /> drainage patterns will be returned to the pre-mine condition. <br /> 6. Revegetation Success Criteria <br /> Revegetation will be deemed adequate when erosion is controlled, the vegetation cover <br /> matches neighboring areas, and when it is considered satisfactory according to Division <br /> standards. This will be monitored for a minimum of two years following the completion of <br /> reclamation. <br /> 7. 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 property. Plants identified <br /> through the Colorado Noxious Weed Act (C.R.S 35-5.5) and the Routt County Noxious Weed <br /> List as undesirable and designated for management within the county will be removed. Any <br /> 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 are identified, they will be sprayed by backpack sprayer or 4- <br /> wheeler using chemicals approved for use by the weed control staff of Routt County. <br /> 3. After reclamation, weed surveys and spraying will continue until the perennial cover and <br /> production of the site meet DRMS requirements and bond release is obtained. <br /> The Division and Routt 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 Routt County Weed Management Plan. <br /> Each year during the mining operation, the permit area will be monitored closely, such that the <br /> operator may determine if any additional weeds are present.
