All mining structures, including interior haul roads and stormwater diversion structures, <br /> will be reclaimed following all mining operations. All buildings that are brought in for the <br /> project are portable control vans and will be removed following reclamation. <br /> Throughout the mining area, salvageable surface material will be removed and <br /> stockpiled for use in final reclamation. Upon commencement of reclamation, the area will be <br /> monitored for noxious weeds. Asphalt Constructors, Inc. will implement their approved <br /> Noxious Weed Control Program as detailed below. <br /> NOXIOUS WEED CONTROL PLAN: <br /> Russian knapweed will be burned in the spring. It will be sprayed using Curtail at a rate <br /> of 4 quarts to an Acre at flower stage on regrowth. It will be sprayed again using Curtail <br /> at the same application rate prior to first hard frost in the fall. <br /> Areas within the permit boundaries will be monitored each Spring, Summer& Fall. <br /> Weed treatment will only be performed on areas infested with Russian knapweed inside <br /> the permit boundaries. <br /> All equipment and haul trucks will be inspected prior to leaving the site. If contaminated <br /> materials are found, the contaminated material will be removed from equipment or haul <br /> trucks prior to exiting the site. <br /> Asphalt Constructors, Inc. will enlist the aid of the Costilla County Weed Director on <br /> seasonal inspections to help identify any noxious weeds within permit boundaries. <br /> If any noxious weeds are found within permit boundaries, a weed control plan specific to <br /> the weed will be developed with the Director and implemented. <br /> Smith Pit Amendment Application <br /> pg. 8 <br />
