RECLAMATION RECOMMENDATIONS <br />It is our understanding that upon completion of gravel removal that the site will be reclaimed as <br />recreation land It is also our understanding that the pit will be reclaimed at the end of its useful <br />life. <br />During gravel removal from the site any topsoil material should be removed and stockpiled for <br />future reclamation purposes. Topsoil stockpiles will be seeded to the same seed mix <br />recommended for the general area. Upon completion of the mining, slope should be returned to a <br />2:l or flatter slope as natural topography dictates. Any topsoil overburden will be spread over the <br />flatter areas and reseeded with the following seed mix. Depending upon fluctuating annual <br />precipitation, reseeding may be necessary. Noxious weeds listed in the Grand County Noxious <br />Weed Mgt. Plan will be controlled on the site during and after mining. <br />SPECIES VARIETY % OF MIX DRILL BROADCAST <br />Smooth Brome Manchar 50% 7 14 <br />Pubescent Wheat Luna 50%o 7 14 <br />These species were chosen for their sod forming growth habit leading to excellent erosion control <br />on steep slopes, ease of establishment and seedling vigor, ability to crowd out noxious weed <br />invasion, and palatability to livestock and wildlife. <br />The best time to seed is in the fall (after Oct. ls`.) or in the spring (beforeMay l~`.) <br />All seeded areas should be mulched with 1 ton/acre weed free hay after seeding is complete. <br />If you require further assistance please feel free to contact this office. <br />Mark Volt <br />District Conservationist NRCS <br />
