FROM GREG-LEWICKI <br />FRX N0. :3033465196 Jun. 27 2004 01:50PM P2 <br />their initiation. It maybe necessary to control weeds by mowing after the first year, the feasibility <br />of chemical weed control methods will be studied should it be necessary. The plan does not con- <br />template total weed removal on the property. Past experience shows that some initial weed cover <br />in the first year following retopsoiling is beneficial to the reclamation effort. Weeds tend to pro- <br />vide shade for new grasses, aze a means of holding snow on the seedbed longer and protect it from <br />wind and water erosion until the planted species have taken hold. <br />4 Reveretation Snccesa Criteria <br />JUN 2 7 201K <br />.yFgv~su 1 a <br />asp.,. ~ ~ 1' <br />It is suggested that revegetation in the wetland area should be deemed successful when the peren- <br />nial vegetation is self-sustaining and adequate to control erosion. The dryland areas will be deemed <br />adequate when the live perennial cover reaches 90% of pre-mine total cover. <br />To be deemed successful, the cover must equal the pre-mine level. Since considerable new <br />wetlands will be created, this should not be difficult to achieve. <br />The wetland areas should be deemed successful when the following has been accomplished: <br />I } At teast 3 of the planted species are present aad visible in the wetland areas, and <br />2) At least 75% of the willow clumps designated in the plan are present and viable, and <br />3) Wetland live perennial cover is at least 80% of what is expected for this set of conditions in the <br />surrounding area, and <br />4) The vegetation must be dominated (greater than 50% relative cover) by wetland species and <br />5) No noxious weed infestations shall be present in the wetland areas. <br />The revegetated areas will be monitored for success of reclamation until accepted by the Division. <br />If revegetation failures occur prior to release, an analysis of the site will be made and the area will <br />be revegetated again as necessary. <br />Permit#: ,vl-2~y-o2S '~ Confidental?: ~ <br />Class:~e~i.+~,f an~lcL.
