The topsoil will be stripped from the gullies, however it is not expected to yield <br />much usable topsoil. This is due to the soil being intermixed with cobbles. All <br />sediment sumps will be routinely cleaned. This sediment will be used for <br />reclamation purposes. All woody vegetation will be removed from the site, <br />mulched, or burned. As stated in the application, all fill will be uniform in nature <br />and well compacted. <br />Prior to piacement topsoil will be tested to determine if soil amendments will be <br />necessary. This will be especially important for the irrigated field portion of the <br />reclamation. <br />The grout will create a solid channel which needs no underlying geotextile. By its <br />nature a grouted rip-rap channel is non-erosive much like a concrete channel. The <br />grouted channel was selected over standard rip-rap channels with geotextile due to <br />the steep slopes and predicted peak flows. <br />Secondary containment for fuel and other fluids will be impermeable in nature. <br />This will either be in the form of double walled tanks or a HDPE impermeable <br />liner. Due to the high viscosity of asphalt cement gravel is considered impereable <br />for this material. <br />Slopes will be shaped using bulldozers to push material up the slope or down the <br />slope. Once final slopes have been completed a uniform layer of topsoil will be <br />applied in the same fashion. <br />3.) Exhibit E Due to the steepness of the slopes the mulch will need to be crimped along the <br />slope. Another possible solution would be to hyrdo-mulch the slopes using a <br />tackifier. <br />The following is the weed control plan for the Cugnini Pit. <br />Russian Knapweed <br />Use Tordon and 24D at a rate of 1 Quart each per acre. Apply in September/early <br />October, then return in June to treat spots of knapweed as they appeaz. <br />Musk Thistle <br />Use Tordon at a rate of 1 Pint to 1 Quart per acre, every-other year. Apply in <br />spring or fall. For plants near the pinon/juniper trees, use Redeem or 24D, <br />applying in May or June. <br />White Top <br />Apply Telar and 24D in May, as needed. <br />Evaluate weed conditions in May or June of each year. <br />
