• Livestock Tanks <br /> Trapper built 17 new livestock tanks in 1989. See Section 6 and Maps 6.1. <br /> Stock tanks were seeded using the approved dam and/or spillway seed mixes on <br /> approximately 13 acres. <br /> Developmental Drill Sites <br /> During 1989, Trapper broadcast seeded about 50 acres of developmental drill <br /> sites using the approved seed mix. The specifics and locations were presented in <br /> F. Beckett's 1989 Developmental Drilling summary submitted for your approval <br /> on December 20, 1989. <br /> Topsoil Piles <br /> See Section 5 and maps 5.1. Topsoil stockpiles were smoothed and seeded to <br /> the approved 1989 perennial topsoil pile mix. Approximately 29 acres were <br /> treated. <br /> Sediment Dams <br /> Trapper inter-seeded 2 dams in the Johnson Gulch drainage as previous seeding <br /> response was fair-poor. The areas were drill and broadcast seeded with the <br /> approved dam seed mix. <br /> Office Complex <br /> Trapper seeded approximately 1.0 acres of Range site C mix around the new <br /> office and parking lot addition. <br /> Historical State Agricultural Holdings <br /> As mining operations progress across our coal leases, Trapper affects former <br /> state agricultural leases. Since 1976, Trapper has permitted the agricultural <br /> lessee to continue farming practices but with the stipulation that Trapper with- <br /> draw acres from crop production when mining advance dictates. Areas outside <br /> mining prestrip operations are left in historical crop rest-rotation practices until <br /> Trapper's activities make it impracticable. Trapper then withdraws fields from <br /> small grain production and seeds those areas with the approved haycrop mix in <br /> order to reduce erosion potential and manage these areas until they revert to <br /> historical use after bond release. -- <br /> 1.2.6 Previously Revegetated Acres <br /> The locations and acres for all previously revegetated areas, seeded to perennial <br /> • species, are presented in map(s) 1.0. To date, Trapper has revegetated <br /> approximately 1,360 acres within the boundaries of active mining and revege- <br /> tated an additional 95 acres within the permit boundary but outside topsoil <br /> stripping limits. <br />
