C-81-018. <br />Dear Mr. Mathews: <br />III IIIIIIIIIIIII III <br />999 <br />RECEIVED <br />~ Lr~ ~n r'~ <br />::. ;. .. <br />pivisbn of Minerals 8 Ga~lcgy <br />Grand Junction <br />This is a request for a minor revision to the Deserado Mine permit for a new approach to the RP-1 <br />revegetation. This request is made pursuant to our meeting in Rangely with you and BLM-Meeker <br />personnel. Additionally, this request responds to items 111.10 and III.11 requested by you in your mid- <br />term review letter dated March 5, 1997. <br />I have added a new sub-section V.1.4.i to address the referenced issue. Our approach is outlined <br />below. <br />Soil Preparation: The RP-1 area will be disked or plowed within the first two weeks of May, 1997 <br />to a depth of B-12 inches. Enough passes will be made with the implement to insure complete burial <br />of the existing seed bank at least 4 to 6 inches. The area will be disked again in the fall (September, <br />October) to bury any seed that might have emerged, and prepared for seeding. <br />Herbicide: The interim use of Herbicide (Round-up) as additional Veatment is not planned, but will <br />be an option for areas where disking to the proper depth may not be possible. This will be derided <br />prior to the Fall treatment. <br />Seeding: Seeding will be done with three (3) separate seed mixes (furnished by BME) and will <br />consist of three (3) separate application techniques. (See Table V-15A for the seed mix.) In table <br />V-15A, Seed Mix 'G' is the basic grass mix and will be drill seeded through the standard box of the <br />seed drill to a depth of 1/2 inch. Seed Mix 'T' consists of 'trashy seeds' and will be drill seeded <br />through a drill box equipped with picker wheels for trashy seed. The depth for this mix will also be 1/2 <br />Magruder Building <br />1625 Al Srreel, N.W <br />Washington, D.C 20036-3261 <br />Telephone 202/i63 65R0 <br />Telecopier 2U2/_T23 8790 <br /> <br />
