<br />simultaneously providing vegetative cover that enhances erosion and sediment control. <br />'Therefore, seed mixtures will normally include species that create suitable wildlife <br />habitat and browse. Potential revegetation species meeting these selection criteria that <br />may be used in seed mixtures are listed in Section 7, Table 5 of the Reclamation Plan. <br />Permanent revegetation seed mixtures will preferentially emphasize the use of native <br />plant species, with introduced species being used as necessary for special-purpose <br />plantings and as approved by the BLM. BLM requests for the use of specific species <br />will be honored to the extent that adequate plant cover is expected to be established for <br />erosion control and to the extent that such requests are reasonable. <br />E.2.2 Reclamation Methods for Facilities and Structures <br />As indicated in Section E.1.2, reclamation of the processing facilities at the Piceance and <br />Parachute Sites would only take place at the end of the project in the indefinite future, <br />and reclamation of these facilities would be consistent with applicable requirements in <br />effect at the time. <br />In general, buildings would be demolished and debris removed from the site. Any <br />permanent foundation structures, such as concrete pads or footers are anticipated to be <br />buried in place or demolished and buried, as appropriate. If buried, such structures <br />would be covered with at least 2 feet of soil, and the area would be graded to conform <br />to the natural topography. Salvage of re-useable materials is also a possibility for <br />structures at both the Piceance Site and the Parachute Site. <br />E.2.3 Pipeline Corridor Reclamation Methods <br />Reclamation of the pipeline corridor will occur immediately after pipeline installation. <br />Reclamation and revegetation methods are fully detailed in the Pipeline Reclamation <br />Plan provided in Attachment 1 of this exhibit. <br />E.3 References <br />Water and Earth (Water and Earth Technologies, Inc.). 1998.
