the wetland/riparian species to be established. <br />6.4.5 EXHIBIT E -Reclamation Plan <br />3. The applicant has provided a revegetation seed mix for dry, upland areas prepared by a <br />representative of the Natural Resources Conservation Service. However, the proposed seed mix <br />contains only two (2) grass species and 1 forb. The Division recommends the applicant revise <br />the seed mix in order to better establish a diverse, long-lasting vegetative cover. Considering the <br />soil types present, the Division recommends the applicant consider the seed mix listed below for <br />such azeas.

The Reclamation Plan Map shows the reclaimed pit as being approximately 150' from the <br />Yampa River, within the 100-yeaz floodplain of the river, immediately adjacent to the floodway <br />of the river, and with no flood control berm. The Reclamation Plan Map also shows an inlet <br />(neaz U.S. Highway 40) and an outlet leading to the Yampa River. However, no details were <br />provided for the inlet and outlets. The Division requests that you provide details of the inlet and <br />outlet and confirm whether they will be comprised of properly designed and engineered <br />structures. Due to the close proximity of the reclaimed lake to the Yampa River, the Division <br />recommends that Duckels Construction and/or the landowner consider installation of properly <br />engineered inlet and outlet spillways at the upstream and downstream ends of the lake to safely <br />convey floodwaters.
