3) After reclamation of portions of the site and after final reclamation, weed surveys and spraying <br />will continue until the perennial cover and production of the site have met DMG requirements <br />and bond release has been obtained. <br />The Division and Weed Management Group of Delta County will be consulted regazding any <br />weed infestation area and any control measures prior to their initiation. The plan does not <br />contemplate total weed removal on the property, especially the removal of some non-noxious <br />weeds. Past experience shows that some initial weed cover in the first yeaz following retopsoiling <br />is beneficial to the reclamation effort in dry range sites. Weeds tend to provide shade for new <br />grasses, are a means of holding snow on the seedbed longer and protect it from wind and water <br />erosion until the planted species gradually take over the site. <br />Monitoring the reclamation on an ongoing basis will help to assure successful reclamation. The <br />operator plans to use the local SCS office in Delta County to assist in determining the ability of <br />the reclaimed land to control erosion and any other suggestions which may enhance the <br />reclamation of the site. If minor changes or modifications aze needed to the seeding and <br />reclamation plan, revision plans will be submitted to the Division as required. It is hoped that the <br />Division will provide assistance in evaluating the success of the ongoing reclamation process. All <br />azeas disturbed and reclaimed and any other important items regazding the reclamation will be <br />submitted in the annual reports to the Division. <br />Pit No. 1 1 /04 <br />
