Seeding will normally be done during the fall when temperatures aze cooler. Straw mulch will be <br />used, (certified "weed free") and applied at a rate of 2,000 pounds per acre and either crimped or <br />"tackified" at 150 pounds per acre. <br />A total of 285 cottonwood trees have been found within the disturbed azea. Upon final filling of <br />each lake area, the exact waterline will be determined and at least 2 cottonwood saplings will be <br />planted for each cottonwood that is removed. They will be planted approximately 12" -18" <br />vertically above the waterline so that they will not have to be watered. <br />6. Post-Reclamation Site Drainaee <br />The entire permit azea will drain to the lakes after reclamation, as shown on Map F-1. <br />A the request of CDOW, the operator commits to installing metal grate screens at the inlet of <br />Lake 4 and the outlet of Lake 1 into the North channel of the Colorado River. The two <br />installations will be reviewed by CDOW and will meet their approval. Although it will be <br />prohibited to stock the lakes with non-native species, these screens will prevent any species <br />(especially non-native species) from leaving the lake and entering the river. <br />7. Weed Control <br />Measures will be employed for control of any noxious weed species. Control measures will also <br />be used is growth of weed species on the reclaimed area threatens further spread of the weeds to <br />neazby azeas. A Weed Control Plan will be utilized as follows: <br />1) Each April, a weed survey will be made of the permit azea. <br />2) If any patches or plants have been identified, they will be sprayed by backpack sprayer or <br />4-wheeler using chemicals approved for use by the weed control staff of Mesa County. <br />3) After reclamation, weed surveys and spraying will continue until the perennial cover and <br />production of the site have met DMG requirements and bond release has been obtained, <br />15 Road Pit February 07 E-6 <br />
