<br /> <br />Note: PLS is Pure Live Seed. Percent PLS is determined by germination percent muRiptied by seed purity percent This <br />information is obtained from the seed tag. The amount in column 5 should be divided by the percent PLS to determine the <br />pounds of bulk seed to purchase. If acreage changes, then total seed amount will change proportionately. <br />(iv) The seed should be drilled into the topsoil azea. If seed is not drilled, all <br />rates shall be doubled. If the seedbed has not been adequately roughened prior to seeding, the <br />seed shall be raked or harrowed after broadcast application. <br />(v) The mulch applied shall be 4000 pounds of grass/hay per acre with an <br />effective crimping method applied. <br />(vi) Shrubs will be planted from container stock or transplanted or started from <br />root cuttings from wild stock in the immediate area. Trees are planned to be planted from <br />seedling, tubling, or transplanted from the site. The planned species of shrubs are those <br />consistent with the azea such as Oregon grape, cinquefoil, current, rose, mountain snowberry, <br />and Rocky Mountain maple. The planned species of trees are those consistent with the azea such <br />as spruce, fart, pine, and aspen. Shrubs and trees will be planted randomly m the revegetated <br />areas to create diversity of form and color, and to extend stands of similaz species. Planting rates <br />will be 20 to 40 seedlings per grouping and from 2 to 5 groups per acre. Tree and shrub <br />seedlings/tublings will be planted with shingle protective boards or a similar protective structure <br />to prevent dessication and assist in establishment. If necessary, protective mesh will be used to <br />prevent wildlife from eating fresh seedling stock <br />(d) Remainin¢ Features: The Mazble Historical Society requested that such historic <br />featwes as the cable tower outside the middle quarry entry (which is outside the affected azea), <br />the quarry entries, and the mazble waste piles remain after mining is complete. Below is a copy <br />of a letter from the Marble Historical Society requesting that the waste piles remain exposed <br />after mining is complete. A road will remain that traverses the waste piles. The approximate <br />alignment of the road is shown on Exhibit E -Reclamation Plan Map. The maximum width of <br />the road will be 15 feet, and will provide permanent private access to the quarry entries and the <br />White Mazble No. 2 Placer Claim. With permission from the owner of the quarry property, the <br />road may be used by jeep tour operators to allow viewing of the historic quany workings by <br />members of the public not willing or able to hike to the quany along the trail. Permanent fences <br />will be constructed for public safety in all quarry openings that are not backfilled. Portions of <br />fences remain from the Inactive Mine Program's efforts in the mid-1980's to improve public <br />safety at the site. Similar fences will be constructed, possibly during mining operations, and <br />certainly at the completion of operations. <br />The existing foot trail from the base of the waste pile to the south quarry entry will <br />remain. This trail may be rerouted over the waste pile to intersect with the remaining access road <br />d'vectly east of the middle quarry entry. If it is determined that the trail is public, Sierra will <br />improve the trail from its current condition by creating a more gradual slope and some steps <br />where necessary. The trail will be single track and a grade of no more than 15 percent. Drainage <br />diversion structures are not envisioned as the existing trail has shown no erosion that might make <br />such structures necessary. <br />25 <br />
