<br /> <br />6.5 Revegetation <br />~~ <br />(1) The proposed revegetation seed mix has been shown to es- <br />tablish a diverse, effective and long-lasting vegetative <br />cover fior similar operations in the area. It has proven t^ <br />be capable of selfi-regeneration without continued dependence <br />on irrigation or fertilizer. It will be equal to or superior <br />to the natural vegetation of the surrounding area. <br />(2) Forest planting is not the applicant's choice of recla- <br />mation. Rangeland has been chosen, to be consistent with <br />surrounding areas. <br />(3) The applicant's choice of reclamation is rangeland. <br />Slopes will be commensurate with this usage, and the 4H:1V <br />backslopes will not 6e too steep to be traversed by live- <br />stock. The area will be seeded using an appropriate drill. <br />If the amount ofi rack rubble (caprock) makes this impossible, <br />the seed rate will be doubled and broadcast. <br />(4) After reviewing all of the environmental factors that <br />• can affect successful revegetation, the plan proposed by the <br />applicant provides for the greatest probability of success. <br />Grazing will be restricted from reclaimed areas until release <br />has been secured from the Board. ~,~,~~~,~,,~,~,;p.,y~(~..~') <br />(5) Appropriate techniques to insure the establishment of a <br />diverse and long-lasting vegetative cover are a part of the <br />reclamation plan. <br />~ ~ //~ <br />The pit floor willr\be scarified~efore topsoiling ifi the ~~ ~ ~' <br />am~un_t_o~-rock rubb3-e (caproclrf present allows.

The access <br />road will not be reclaimed, as it is a Fremont County Road <br />(8) Delay in planting required for reclamation. The only <br />planting delay proposed is for the access road which will not <br />be planted. There are no areas for delayed planting such as <br />those described in (a) (b) (c) (d) and (e). <br />(9) There are no adverse characteristics of the surface <br />. which would seriously inhibit plant growth. <br />b.b Buildings and Structures <br />There are no buildings or structures presently on site and <br />none are proposed. <br />
