Upon final grading and topsoiling, the applicant proposes to reseed with adapted <br />grasses and forbs to achieve apost-mine land use of imgated cropland. Page <br />2.05.12R in the permit application details the seed mix to be used. <br />Since the permit azea for the Terror Creek Loadout is less than 40 acres in size (13.6 <br />acres total), the revegetation success standazd is based on data collected in 1983 and <br />1984 from an area immediately west of the loadout. This area is shown on Map 4, <br />entitled Pre and Post Disturbance Land Use. The Division has determined that the <br />area of data collection is topographically and edaphically compazable to the disturbed <br />azea. Data submitted has been used by the Division to set a revegetation success <br />standazd for production in the reclaimed azea at 2,7001bs./acre (4.15.7(2)(d)(vi)). <br />XII. Post-Mining Land Use <br />A. The Division is proposing to approve apost-mining land use of irrigated cropland. <br />The land use meets the criteria of Rule 4.16.3. <br />XIII. Protection of Fish, Wildlife, and Related Environmental Values <br />A. The applicant has proposed the use of persistent pesticides to the site during <br />operation and reclamation activities at the site. <br />There is a plan in place to deal with noxious weeds, particulazly white top, that <br />appear at the Terror Creek Loadout. TCC will maintain records of herbicide use on <br />the property for inspection by Division personnel. <br />XN. Protection of Underpsound Minine <br />A. There are no current or proposed surface mining operations within or next to the <br />Terror Creek Loadout. <br />XV. Subsidence Control <br />A. This section does not apply to this operation, as Tertor Creek is a loadout. No <br />. mining has occurred or will occur. <br />XVI. Concurrent Surface and Underground Mining <br />A. This section does not apply to the Terror Creek Loadout. <br />XVII. Operations on Alluvial Vallev Floors <br />Identification of Alluvial Valley Floors <br />A. Terror Creek Company has identified an alluvial deposit extending approximately <br />one mile to the east (upstream) and three miles to the southwest (downstream) of the <br />permit azea along the North Fork of the Gunnison River (Map 2).
