January 31, 1985 Mr. Kenny Schrader Page Three Please verify your plans to topsoil and seed the north area of the mine using the SW topsoil stockpile. Please provide an acreage estimate for this area and your estimated time schedule. The Division will expect that all areas disturbed under this permit will be vegetated (preferrable by drilling) according to the S.C.S. topsoil, seed, and mulch recommendations provided within the permit. 4S Permanent pond areas will obviously not be seeded, however, areas to be intermittently exposed will require vegetation. Species such as Western Wheatgrass, Alkali Sacaton, and Smooth Brome should work in such areas. 5~ Please indicate where the permanent pond areas are expected to occur and specify the size in acres of the ponds to remain. ~) It is preferable to avoid extensive weed invasion and this should be minimized by proper seeding. Wildlife and livestock grazing is not considered a sufficient method for weed. control. Please also note that if the reclaimed area is to be grazed by domestic livestock, the permit must reflect this fact. Such grazing should be avoided or strictly controlled until reclaimed vegetation is well established. Please indicate your plans to reclaim mine roads and other mine-related disturbances. 8~ According to the original permit stipulations, those areas void of topsoil may require some soil amendments based upon the results of soil quality tests. Please verify this. How are the rabbitbush, cottonwoods, and willows (Exhibits E, H, and iv) going to be established? Does this refer to the vegetation ,I already present? >`0) The probable timetable for reclamation must be addressed. Please J give us a reasonable time estimate for your reclamation efforts. nd,// Exhibit G - Water Resources Please refer to the enclosed memo from the Divisin of Water Resources to the Division of Mined Land Reclamation. Public Notification 1) Please provide a copy of the required (C.R.S. 34-32-112(b}) newspaper proof of publication and landowner and adjacent landowner notification (C.R.S. 34-32-112(10)(c)).
