Topsoil spreading will be performed in u <br />manner to minimize the potential for over-compaction and, hence, create a viable root zone. <br />A limited number of cottonwood trees and snags will be incidentally excavated randomly <br />throughou[ the si[e. As much as possible, felled trees will be dragged into nearby tree stands <br />along the river that will remain to enhance wildlife habitat. A 1~0 f[ trail corridor from the <br />top of bank will be established along the Cache La Poudre River. <br />Replanting of [rees to enhance shoreline vegetation and habitat will be performed along the <br />Cache La Poudre River. A [rail corridor will be preserved as a buffer zone along the <br />northern shore of the river. <br />Revegetation is an important part of this reclamation plan. After backfilling and grading, <br />planting and seeding will be initiate$ as soon as practicable. This will usually be at the <br />beginning of the following growing season after a given mining year is completed. For <br />disturbed areas around the lake shoreline, including stockpile areas, and for shoreline side <br />slopes where grasses will be planted, the following seed mixes and application rates wilt be <br />used where appropriate: <br />Vet Meadow Range Site (Wt and Sm soils) <br />Drvland Seedlines <br /> <br />Species <br />Variety (PLS) 100% <br />Pounds PLS/acre io of Species m <br />Mix PLS` Rate <br />in Mix <br />Western Wheatgrass Arriba or Barton 8.0 20% L20 <br />Big Bluestem Kaw ~.~ 20% 0.83 <br />Switchgrass Grenville or <br />Blackwell 2.~ 20% 0.~0 <br />Prairie Cordgrass Variety unstated 15.0 25% 3.2~ <br />Yellow lndianerass Llano 5.0 I~ a 0.~0 <br />f.~l'Itn1E('l \,_t17~~)~lnclc~ grcd.: P.nmi.¢~i.rJ Jit <br />1 <br />
