Exhibit I - Soils tformation <br /> The addition of fertilizer will also aid in the establishment, growth and survival of the emerging <br /> grasses. Fertilizer will be applied to seeded areas at rates determined from soil tests of the <br /> reapplied soils. Rates indicated under this submittal are for purposes of establishing a reasonable <br /> warranty for the operation [refer to Exhibit L- Reclamation Cost Estimates. <br /> In order to limit the establishment and growth of weeds, fertilizer will be applied at the time of <br /> planting only if soil tests indicate the need for a starter fertilizer. To assure adequate soil fertility of <br /> reclaimed lands, soil testing will be conducted periodically on revegetated lands until the lands in <br /> question are released from the permit by the DMG. <br /> WEED CONTROL <br /> Weed control at the site will utilize non-chemical means,unless,due to weed morphology,or other <br /> factors,circumstances require application of an approved herbicide. If chemical weed control is <br /> utilized, it will be conducted in compliance with manufacturer's recommendations and in <br /> conformance with applicable federal, state, or local laws. Where possible, pre-emergent weed <br /> control chemicals will be utilized. Chemical application will be conducted or supervised by a <br /> qualified operator, and coordinated with the Weld County Department of Public Works. <br /> Weed control will focus upon prevention,principally through the establishment of a diverse <br /> stabilizing cover of grasses, as described earlier. Regardless of control methodology, the intent of <br /> mechanical and chemical methods will be to prevent weed species from reproducing vegetatively, <br /> or by seed. In general, the idea is to aid the grasses in out competing weed species for plant <br /> available water and nutrients in the new soils, until such a time that the grasses are fully established <br /> over the applied areas, are dominant over the weeds, and capable of self regeneration. It should be <br /> understood that some weeds will remain. Total eradication of weeds is unlikely under the best of <br /> circumstances, and is not a reasonable expectation or likely outcome. <br /> REVEGETATION <br /> Treated reapplied soil will be seeded and a stabilizing cover of vegetation established as prescribed <br /> above, and as detailed under Exhibit E- Reclamation Plan. <br /> EXHIBIT I - Soils Information 4 <br /> Colorado Division of Mineral s & Geology Regular Impact [1121 Construction Material Permit <br /> Sand Land, Inc. - Kurtz Resource Recovery &Development Project - January 1999 <br />
