<br />Seeding must be completed after September 1 and prior to October 15. <br />The area is considered to be satisfactorily reclaimed when: <br />A. Soil erosion resulting from the operation has been stabilized. <br />B. A vegetative cover at least equal to that present prior to disturbance and a plant <br />species composition a[ least as desirable as that present prior to disturbance has been <br />established. Establishment of all the species in the seed formula will be considered as <br />meeting the compositiot>/desirable species criteria. <br />Additional work shall be required until these conditions are satisfied. <br />19. All equipment shall be clean, and weed and weed-seed free prior to moving the equipment <br />into the gravel site. The operator shall monitor for noxious weed infestation and shall control <br />noxious weeds on the gravel site as directed by [he authorized officer. Herbicide or pesticide use <br />shall be approved by the authorized officer prior to any application. <br />20. The feasibility of the proposed drainage plan for the reclaimed surface (two shallow <br />retention basins sloping toward center of site) will depend on the slope of the pit floor and <br />grading of topsoil and subsoil during reclamation. After phase 1 mining is completed, and <br />during subsequent phases, the feasibility of the drainage plan will be evaluated and modified if <br />necessary. Modifications which BLM may consider include allowing ntnoff to exit the <br />reclaimed site or containing runoff behind retention dams or berms. Any nmoff contained by <br />dams or bens must be designed to avoid pooling or concentrating water against the retention <br />structure. <br />21. The operator shall immediately bring to the attention of the Grand Junction Resource Area <br />Manager any and all antiquities or other objects of historic or scientific interest including, but not <br />limited [o, historic or prehistoric ruins, artifacts, or fossils discovered as a result of operations <br />under this permit. The operator shall immediately suspend all activities in the area of the object <br />and shall leave such discoveries intact until told to proceed by the Area Manager. Notice to <br />proceed shall be based upon evaluation of the culntral significance of the object. Evaluation <br />shall be by a qualified professional selected by the Area Manager from a Federal Agency insofar <br />as practical. When not practical, the operator shall follow the mitigation requirements set forth <br />by the Area Manager concerning protection, preservation, or disposition of any sites or material <br />discovered. In those situations where the Area Manager determines that data recovery and/or <br />salvage excavation are necessary, the operator shall bear the cost of such data recovery and/or <br />salvage operations. <br />22. All operations shall be conducted to industry standards and in a safe manner. The area of <br />operations and all equipment, fuel, and lubricants shall be maintained in a clean and orderly <br />fashion and disposed of as required by law. No trash or hazardous materials shall be stored <br />within the permitted area. The only hazardous material on site would be refined petroleum <br />
