<br />' Evaluation of Reclamation Success for Phase !I Band Release <br />' eliminate compaction and provide a suitable contact surface for the 24 inches of topsoil which was <br />replaced, and the area was seeded with appropriate pasture species to accommodate the post <br />mining land use. As a result, the hydrologic functions of the AVF have been restored to pre-mine <br />' values. Vegetation production data also confirms the restoration of the hydrologic functions as <br />described in the vegetation section of this document. The noxious weed control program will be <br />expanded to include field bindweed and any other species that CDMG designates as a noxious <br />' weed. The next implemented spraying will be conducted in 1997 and will be timed to achieve <br />optimum results. <br />t SOIL EROSION CONTROL <br />' This section describes the analysis used to demonstrate that the reclaimed areas are not <br />contributing more sediment to the Stollsteimer Creek drainage than was the situation prior to <br />mining disturbance. Kaiser's analysis was conducted using the SEDCAD+ software package. <br />' The ponds and associated ditches are requested for removal in that package as a result of this <br />demonstration. Sediment values are lower in the post-mining condition than in the pre-mining <br />condition in all cases, meeting the requirement specified in Rule 3.03.1(3)(b). Complete <br />' documentation of this demonstration is contained in Appendix C. <br />1 <br /> <br />1 <br /> <br />1 <br /> <br /> <br />1 <br />1 <br />' RYAN.OS)\Marcft 19 I9o~ 7 <br />
