Fertilization will be determined at final reclamation based on a soils test performed by <br />Colorado State University in conjunction with the Soil Conservation Service. <br />' Material for mulching shall consist of hay or straw, oats, wheat, bazley, or rye, and <br />shall be free of noxious weed seeds. At least 50% of the mulch by weight shall be <br />' uniform in length. <br />Mulch will be applied to seeded areas. All newly seeded areas shall receive a uniform <br />' layer of mulch applied at the rate of 2 tons per acre, crimped with a crimper or other <br />approved methods. <br />Seeding will take place once final grading and replacement of topsoil have been <br />completed for each phase. Timing of seeding will be consistent with standard <br />horticultural practice for dryland applications -generally between late September and <br />' the middle of April to assure adequate moisture for germination. Long term <br />maintenance of the shoreline vegetation will be the responsibility of the end user. <br />' D. A schedule indicating how and when reclamation will be implemented. The schedule <br />shall include: <br />' 1. An estimate of the periods of time which will be required for the various phases of <br />reclamation; <br />' Reclamation will proceed concurrent with each phase of the mining. Backfilling, <br />grading and replacement of topsoil will be completed as soon the material adjacent <br />to the pond bank has been removed to a point that will allow shaping of the bank or <br />' backfilling of the area. The backfilled areas and regraded banks will be seeded at <br />the earliest appropriate time to ensure there is adequate moisture for germination, <br /> <br />u <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />2. A description of the size and location of each area to be reclaimed during each <br />phase; and <br />Reclamation for each phase will consist of backfilling, regrading, replacement of <br />topsoil and reseeding of perimeter banks and backfili areas. This area will consist <br />of approximately 3-5 acres. <br />The final phase will also include removal of the processing equipment. The operator ~~'~ <br />will regrade the area, replace the topsoil and reseed it. It is anticipated that the site ~ ,u ' <br />access road and haul road will be used for future access to the site. <br />3. An outline of the sequence in which each stage or phase of reclamation will be <br />carried out. <br />The reclamation sequence will proceed concurrently with mining and will include <br />A'CC!
