i~ <br />Dear Sirs, <br />RE: Mined Land Reclamation Permit <br />,_ <br />Location, Legal - NW '/< NW '/< Section 3, T15S, R95W, 6`h P.M. <br />Size - 137.46 acres of a 160 acre tract. <br />Area Lies -Approximately 1 mile S W of Cory, Colorado. <br />Previous Use - Rangeiand and a Gravel P;Y <br />Previous Plants -Predominately, Mat Saltbush, Cacti and Shadscale on the upland part <br />with Cottonwood and willows on the river bottom part. <br />Soils -Numerous soils from Alluvial river bottom to barren shale on 1 - 40% slopes. <br />Top Soil -The predominant area is a silty clay loam 0 to 19 inches deep. <br />gravel greater than 1 %": 8 - 10% est. <br />Gravel Depth: 40 - 50 ft. <br />Soil Under Gravel: Shale <br />Water table - at 2 - 6 feet on the river bottom, none on the upland. <br />Flood Plain -Occasional on the river bottom, none on the upland. <br />Revegetation: On the designated 9.05 acres. <br />To revegetate the site after mining is completed the base should be returned to as <br />near level as is practical or not to exceed 3:1 slope. Top soil should be spread at <br />least 6 inches deep and smoothed over the azea. <br />The site will not be irrigated so dryland species of grasses should be used for site <br />reseeding. <br />The following mixture is recommended per acre. <br />30% Yellow Sweet clover x 3.5 = 1.0 Ib. PLS <br />50% Western Wheat ass x 8.0 = 4.0 lbs. PLS <br />20% Crested Wheat ass x 5.0 = 1.0 lb. PLS <br /> Total 6.0 Ibs PLS <br />PLS =Pure Live Seed <br />A late fall seeding date is usually better for native species so the seed lays <br />dormant over the winter and has early spring moisture for germination and <br />establishment. <br />If you have any questions concerning this report, please contact us. <br />Delta County Commissioners July 26, 2004 <br />Delta County Courthouse <br />Delta Colorado 81416 <br />
