• lodgepole pine, subalpine fir, and Engelmann spruce. In areas where aspen <br /> have been cleared and fills are minimal, coppice growth of aspen is expected. <br /> Fertilization will not be initiated until soil tests have been reviewed following the <br /> first season's growth. Maintenance fertilization will be applied as needed to <br /> maintain the grass stand for the interim period between construction and final <br /> reclamation. The use of organic fertilizers and humate based amendments will <br /> be considered over inorganic fertilization products. <br /> Noxious weeds do occur in the area surrounding the Henderson Mill site. A <br /> weed control program is established at the Henderson Mill site and will continue <br /> on affected land occurring with the construction of PC3. The target species at <br /> the Henderson Mill is Circium arvense, Canadian thistle, for which spraying is <br /> conducted regularly on areas of known infestation. This Plan minimizes an <br /> • increase in infestation by employing timely interim reclamation of newly affected <br /> lands. Final reclamation will limit the transport and application of topsoil from <br /> areas where weed seed may reside in the soil seed bank. The use of weed free <br /> mulches will be specified. <br /> The seed mix for interim reclamation considers rapid establishment, soil <br /> stabilization, and native species revegetation for the sustained interim period. <br /> 3.7 Facility Decommissioning Phase <br /> The conveyor project is designed to convey ore for the remaining life of the mine. <br /> Facility decommissioning consists of conveyor and bent removal and disposition <br /> through salvage operations, landfilling, or sale. Concrete foundations are similar <br /> in size to railroad ties and will therefore be disposed of on-site within backfills. <br /> Debris and refuse will be removed from the site and disposed of in the <br /> fift <br /> 23 <br /> January 16.19M <br /> Plan Coc <br />
