Revised 12/21/82 <br />Special care will be taken to assure that all vehicular travel <br />on newly-reclaimed areas is discontinued. Roads will be constructed <br />to assure that normal mining operations continue without disruption <br />To reclamation efforts. <br />Noxious Weed Control <br />Prohibited noxious weeds found growing on newly reclaimed areas <br />will be controlled according to recorrmendaTions made by the <br />appropriate Cooperative Extension agent. If it is found that <br />pesticides are required to control the spread of prohibited weeds or <br />other undesirable weeds competing with the seeded species, a <br />complete weed control plan will be submitted to the M.L.R. for <br />approval prior to the use of any such control. This plan will <br />include a discussion of the material to be used, the time, rate, and <br />method of application, and precautions to be taken to avoid <br />• contamination, toxicity and potential side effects of the proposed <br />material. <br />Evaluation of Reclamation Success <br />A reference area approach will be used to evaluate revegetation <br />success. Reference areas for the two vegetation types present on <br />the site were established prior to commencement of mining. Cover, <br />production, shrub density, and species diversity values will be <br />collected from the reclaimed area and reference areas and compared <br />using accepted statistical methods. <br />~"~ F- I 0 <br />
