<br />Seeding. The proposed plan is to seed the reclaimed area to <br />both warm and cool season grasses with a double disk drill <br />equipped with depth bands and press wheels. Table 3 lists the <br />grass species, quantities, and rates at which they will be <br />planted. The cool season grasses will be planted in the fall or <br />' spring, whichever is closest to the termination of mining. The <br />warm season grasses will be mixed with the cool season grasses. <br />All seeding efforts will be planned to make maximum use of <br />available soil moisture in the spring, or to maximize physiolog- <br />' ical requirements of selected seed. <br />Fertilization. Fertilizer will be applied to the reclama- <br /> lion surface at the rate of 250 pounds of 18-46-0 per acre. The <br /> surface will then be tilled to a depth of 4-6 inches in prepara- <br /> tion for the seeding. If barnyard/feedlot manure is available, <br /> this will be substituted for the 18-46-0 to increase the organic <br />' content of the "soil." This would be a weed-free, low-salt, heat <br /> treated comp ost. The fertilizer application will follow re- <br /> spreading of topsoil and overburden over the graded mi ne surface. <br />' Any further fertilizer treatments will be evaluated as the grow- <br />ing seasons progress and will be applied when appropriate. <br />' Topsoiling. The area to be worked for gravel has previously <br />been stripped of topsoil. There is one topsoil stockpile and one <br />overburden pile which remain from more recent gravel operations. <br />The material in these stockpiles, along with any additional top- <br />' soil and overburden from current mining operations, will be re- <br />spread over the mined surface at project termination. We have <br />calculated a range of topsoilJoverburden depths of 2-6 inches <br />over the 9.8 acre permit area. <br />EXHIBIT F - Proof of Compliance with Local Government Zoning <br />' List of Permits, Licenses, and Approvals <br />• Air Pollution Emission Notice (APEN) from the Colorado <br />' Department of Health, Air Pollution Control Division <br />• Conditional Land Use Change Applications from the Adams <br />' County Commissioners and Planning Department <br />• Colorado Division of Wildlife <br />' • The above permits were applied for in April, 1983. <br />EXHIBIT G - Source of Legal Right to Enter (Attached) <br />' EXHIBIT H Reclamation Costs <br />' The estimated reclamation costs in 1983 dollars are given in <br />Table 4.
