. livestock and provide view occlusion as cover for game and non-game species. <br /> Some timber removed in the slope reduction will be used for erosion control and <br /> forest floor habitat. Some cut slopes will be backfilled. Seeding of the corridor <br /> will be to grass, forb and legume ��seepecies that are palatable and capable of site <br /> stabilization. Tree and shrub plarfing will be limited to small planting units (0.5 to <br /> 2 acres) with either diffuse or concentrated spacing. Tree planting units will <br /> transect the corridor to provide wildlife cover. Access for revegetation will be <br /> maintained as a two tracked trail along the corridor. <br /> 3.5 Construction Phase <br /> 3.5.1 Clearing and Grubbing <br /> Timber will be harvested in advance of construction activities and site <br /> preparation for corridor development. Salable timber will be harvested and <br /> • removed via a temporary skid road situated along the alignment of the South <br /> Access Road. This road is shown on the Reclamation Plan Map (Exhibit C). <br /> Clearing will also be conducted for non-salable timber. Timber that is not <br /> salable, slash, and grubbed stumps will be ground into wood chips and stored on <br /> the Henderson Mill site (likely adjacent to 3-Dam soil stockpiles) or hauled to the <br /> Climax Mine for use in the biosolids program. Dependent upon construction <br /> scheduling and time allowed, a period of firewood salvage will be offered to <br /> Climax Molybdenum employees. There is likely to be a small component of the <br /> woody vegetation in small slash piles that will be burned. This portion will be <br /> burned as prescribed in a pending Grand County open burning permit. <br /> Some timber cutting will take place during winter to reduce disturbance of skid <br /> paths. Timber operations will utilize small track equipment to haul logs to <br /> Aft <br /> January 16,1%8 <br /> Plan dm <br />
