Dept. of Natural Resources <br />Trapper Mining Inc. (permit I.D. No. C-010-81) is submitting reclamation stand- <br />ards for all areas disturbed prior to May 3, 1978. In addition, standards are <br />being submitted on Empire Energy Corporation's Williams Fork Strip Pit No.l <br />disturbance, which Trapper has agreed to reclaim. The attached maps outline <br />the areas in question. <br />1.0 Distrubance Prior to May 3, 1978 <br />As discussed in permit section 4.9.4, disturbance in this category will <br />receive 6 inches of topsoil. Further, permit section 4.4.3 states sep- <br />arate criteria will be developed for testing reclamation success of these <br />lands. It is our intention to reclaim these lands to at least a 30% cover <br />value. Cover values will be determined as outlined in our permit section <br />4.4.1.1. The seed mix and Fertilization requirements on these areas will <br />be similar to our procedures used for range sites disturbed after May 3, <br />1978. As these lands become stable and a 30% cover value is obtained, <br />Trapper will have experts in the field of range reseeding and range man- <br />agement from the local SCS, BLM and CSU Extension Service analyze the <br />site for success. Written comments as to whether the lands have been <br />satisfactorily reclaimed will be provided to the Division. All lands in <br />this category will be returned to rangeland. <br />2.0 Empire Energy Disturbance <br />As discussed in permit section 4.9.4, this area will not be topsoiled. <br />As a consequence, normal rangeland seed mixes are not appropriate. <br />Trapper intends to use a seed mix similar to the following for these <br />areas. A cover value of at least 30% will be the goal. (Cover values <br />will be determined as outlined in permit section 4.4.1.1.) <br />Species ~ PLS/f t2 <br />Critana Thickspike wheatgrass N 3 <br />Fairway Crested wheatgrass Z 2 <br />Amur intermediate wheatgrass S 3 <br />P.O.
