<br />(2) The boundaries of the affected area will be marked with monuments, that are clearly visible: <br />(a) This is a 112 operation, therefore, the permit boundary and the affected boundary are not <br />the same, and the operator/applicant is proposing a floating bond to cover a portion of the site, to <br />allow mining and reclamation to be ongoing. <br />(3) The affected land will be monumented for easy delineation. <br />(d) Where applicable, the operator/applicant has plans developed For the segregation, <br />preservation, replacement, compaction and grading of soil used for revegetation. The revegetation <br />plan will contain a list of the preferred species of grasses to be planted as recommended by the field <br />office of the NRCS. All seeds recommended should be available and in sufficient quantity to <br />accomplish the revegetation. <br />Seedbed preparation has been covered in Section 3.1 of this apphcation. <br />(e) The schedule ofreclamation will closely follow the minting phasing, and the operator would expect <br />to start reclamation as soon as feasible after minirtg has been completed, in a 4 acre mining azea, and <br />the operator would expect to have vegetation ready for release within a 3 - 5 year period. This <br />sequencing will allow for the floating bond of 10 acres. <br />The final grading also will be done in conjunction with mining. All backsioping, dayGghting and <br />contouring will be done as mining progresses. <br />As stated before, this land will be used for grazing cattle as a final land use, and all of the NRCS <br />recommendations will be done. <br />Topsoil will be replaced at between 6 and 9 inches on all disturbed azeas. <br />Attached is the Seed Mixture recommendation from Kenn Lutz, Resource Conservationist, of the <br />NRCS at 422 E. First Street, Trinidad, CO 81082. <br />
