experience shows that some initial weed cover in the first yeaz following re-topsoiling is benefi- <br />cial to the reclamation effort. Weeds tend to provide shade for new grasses, are a means of <br />holding snow on the seedbed longer and protect it from wind and water erosion until the planted <br />species have taken hold. <br />6. Revegetation Success Criteria <br />Drv Rangeland Areas <br />These areas will be deemed adequate when the dryland vegetation has been established in order <br />to control erosion and noxious weeds are not present in any significant amounts and all of the <br />conditions of Rule 3.1.10 of the Division Construction Materials Rules have been met as <br />determined by the Division. <br />Wetland Areas <br />The wetland fringe areas will be deemed adequate when a diverse wmmunity of wetlands is <br />established on the fringe azeas of the lake and all of the conditions of Rule 3.1.10 of the Division <br />Construction Materials Rules have been met as determined by the Division. <br />7. Monitoring Reclamation Success <br />Monitoring the reclamation on an ongoing basis will allow minor revisions to assure successful <br />reclamation. The operator plans to use the local NRCS office to assist in determining the ability <br />of the reclaimed land to control erosion. If minor changes or modifications are needed to the <br />seeding and reclamation plan, revision plans will be submitted to the Division as required. It is <br />hoped that the Division will provide assistance in evaluating the success of the ongoing <br />reclamation process. All azeas disturbed and reclaimed and any other important items regazding <br />the reclamation will be submitted in the annual reports to the Division. <br />White River City Pit December 06 E-5 <br />
