7 'C IVED <br /> OCT 0 8 2025 <br /> Nikie, Colorado Division of Reclamation, <br /> Mining and Saftey <br /> With the site being in the final stages of reclamation and being prepared <br /> for final release, our plan is to control the weeds by keeping them sprayed <br /> during the planting and growing time needed to achieve this objective. <br /> Our first step will be to spray the whole site including the slopes of the <br /> ponds to eliminate the weeds as a starting point, which will be done yet <br /> this fall of 2025. A spray recommended and applied by a professional <br /> with the experience will be used for this application. A spray that will kill <br /> the weeds but leave the established grass alone is going to be applied. <br /> Step two will be to disc and prepare the site for planting, working <br /> around the areas with acceptable grass's already in place. Planting will <br /> then proceed to be completed during the fall of 2025. The submitted <br /> seed mix in the plan will be used as it is still recommended by the West <br /> Greeley Soil Conservation District. <br /> In the spring the weeds will be closely monitored and sprayed when <br /> needed to keep them under control and to not affect the grass's growing <br /> for the reclamation purposes. Our intent is to not let the weeds get <br /> established and growing at all. According to people with knowledge in this <br /> area, this is both accurate and achievable, this is how new crops, new sod <br /> farm grass and new golf course's get started. <br /> The plan is for this to take place this fall and to have grass growing in the <br /> spring. Sounds simple, but it is quite different than our past efforts to <br /> achieve the required results, and we have been assured this will work. <br /> Please let me know if there are any questions. <br />
