General Reveget!!ti(ttt..l'r•onJam <br />21:19 No .002 F.04 <br />Exhlblt E - Reclamation Plan (contlnuad) <br />Baseline information on vcl;c:tation is presented in Exhibit J -Vegetation Inli~rmation. Although it <br />is undecided whether irritation will be used for the post-mining site, the revcgetation plan will be <br />based on dryland pasture: which is planned as the post-mining use at the tune of this application. <br />The plan is designed to create a vegetative cover that is at least equal in extent to the cover of the <br />natural vegetation prior to ,,,fining. Gress species native to the area have hccn included. <br />Since minor portions of Il,c reclaimed site (<5%) will be 2.OH:1.OV, these areas will be broadcast <br />seeded. For flatter areas, drill seeding maybe used at'/~ the broadcast rate. prior to reseeding, BBcB <br />will collect samples of tl,c redistributed soil, have it analyzed, and add ibrtilizers specifically <br />designed for the actual soil conditions and proposed revegetation plan. This will be done before any <br />reseeding of two or rnorc ;rents at any time. <br />When the soils and any sr,itahlc tine material have been spread, the surface will be smoothed and <br />worked until moderately fine where the seed is to be drilled; the surface will be left fairly rough <br />where seed is to be hroadcast. <br />In order to mitigate tl,c removal of some shrubs located on the north hen•m by partially mining this <br />berm, B&B will plant 15 - 5 gallon shrubs in the meadow area iocatcd in,rnediately north of the <br />permit area. This pl:rrrting will be done when ground is initially broken nn the site, although the <br />berm may not be mined for years later. The planting will consist of chokecherry, serviceberry, <br />mountain mahogany anti wood's rose.. This is planned due to comments received from the <br />Colorado Division, of Wildlife stating that the shrubs/trees on the north I,crm ere.'valtiable and <br />Carol Ann P°rmil CDM(; Application 29 <br />
