<br />Addendum to Henderson Mine Reclamation Permit Amendment <br />Permit No. M-77-342, Amendment AM-03 <br />Henderson Mill PC3 Conveyor <br />Reclamation Plan -Seedling Protection <br />Following review by the Grand County Planning Office, and in consideration for plant protection <br />following seedling planting in the PC3 Conveyor corridor, the Climax Molybdenum Company <br />Proposes the following addendum to the corridor Reclamation Plan: <br />The Climax Molybdenum Company intends to revegetated the PC3 Conveyor corridor in final <br />reclamation. The reclamation plan calls for revegetation of 15% of the disturbances on the newly <br />affected land with seedlings. No provisions were made in the reclamation plan for protection of <br />the seedlings from wildlife browse. <br />Climax Molybdenum Company will provide for seedling protection by installing tree tubes and tree <br />protection sleeves during planting operations. Tree protectors three feet in length will be installed <br />around each seedling. The tree protectors will be maintained annually for a period of three years <br />following installation or until such time as the seedlings extend from the tops of the tubes. <br />Following the first two years of growth, a second planting will occur to cover mortality of the initial <br />planting. These seedlings will also be provided plant protection devices for a three year period or <br />until the seedlings extend from the tubes. Planting will continue until such time as the stem <br />density ranges described in the Amendment application for 15% of the disturbed acreage are <br />present for three year-old seedlings or following a two year period where no protection is <br />provided. _ <br />Submitted by: //~-T..~ -li <br />Date: 2 ~ ~ Z ~ `7 <br />-~ -~ <br />
