A mulch of 4000 pounds per acre of straw or <br />other acceptable material will be applied after grass seeding <br />is complete. <br />5. Irrigation. No irrigation is planned. The grass mixture <br />is designed to survive and grow under existing natural conditions. <br />6. Weed Control, There is no way to know how serious a <br />problem weeds will become, but their growth will be monitored <br />carefully each spring for the first couple of years. weed control <br />will be initiated if the problem becomes serious; the weeds will <br />be mowed where possible in order to avoid chemical damage to <br />grasses. <br />7. Trees and Shrubs. Very few trees now exist on the site. <br />There are a few mature, decayed cottonwoods widely scattered <br />across the bottoms. Most of these trees will be removed during <br />the mining process. In order to facilitate the final land use, <br />the operator will plant approximately 300 bare-root and 200 three- <br />quarter to one-inch diameter Russian Olives along the outside <br />property line. In addition, about 200 bare-root and 100 three-quarter <br />to one-inch diameter cottonless cottonwoods (not Siouxland variety) <br />will be planted along St. Vrain Creek in groups of 3 to 5. In <br />the open areas between the cottonwoods and along the sides of <br />the pipeline rights-of-way, the operator plans to seed currant, <br />gooseberry and skunkbush. <br />8. Invaders. During the mining process, the operator will <br />create two or more areas of shallow water along the shoreline <br />of the lakes so that there will be some larger areas suitable <br />19 <br />
