eiiiiiiiiiinium <br />STATE OF COLC~1~0 <br />Roy Romer, Governor <br />DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES <br />MINED LAND RECLAMATION DIVISION <br />FRED R. BANTA, Director <br />DATE: November 16, 1989 <br />T0: Tony Waldron <br />FROM: Larry Rout ten <br />RE: Meeker Permit Renewal <br />I reviewed the proposed changes of re vegetation success standards at Meeker <br />Mine, as you requested. <br />As we discussed, it seems premature to revise re vegetation success standards <br />three years after seeding because of weed control measures. If the operator <br />only needs to do spot applications of herbicides in the future, there should <br />be no problem meeting the diversity standard. As for the woody plant <br />standard, I think we need to have the Vegetation Task Force give some input <br />in the interest of consistency. <br />My recommendation is to leave the success standards in place as they are with <br />the understanding that we will take into consideration any future impacts of <br />herbicide applications. <br />/ern <br />1417E <br />215 Centennial Building, 1313 Sherman Street Denver, Colorado 80203-2273 Tel.
