Specify the quantity of each grass and forb species as pounds of pure live seed per acre; (iv) specify the application method for grass and forb seeding. If the seed is to be broadcast, the application rate shall be twice the rate required for seed drilling. If the seedbed has not been adequately roughened prior to seeding, the seed shall be raked or harrowed after broadcast application; (v) if a mulch is needed, specify the kind to be used, the crimping method, and rate of application; and (vi) explain the establishment methods for. each species of shrub and/or tree; and state the number of each to be established per acre. (d) Specify which ponds, streams, roads and buildings, if any, will remain after reclamation. These features must be shown on the Exhibit E -Map. If ponds are part of the Reclamation Plan, slopes from 5 vertical feet above to 10 vertical feet below the expected average water level cannot be steeper than 3H:1 V; remaining slope lengths may not be steeper than 2H:1V. Where wildlife habitat is the proposed future land use, shorelines should be irregularly shaped to promote a diverse wildlife habitat. The Colorado Division of Wildlife (DOW) must be consulted where wildlife use is the proposed future land use. (e) Specify the reclamation treatment of any waste rock dumps, underground mine openings, ditches, sediment control facilities, buildings and other features specified in your mine plan but not previously addressed in the Reclamation Plan narrative. These features must be shown on Exhibit E -Map. This should describe the measures taken to minimize disturbance to the hydrologic balance, prevent off- site damage, and provide for a stable configuration consistent with the proposed future land use.
