06032 Banks and Gesso, LLC <br />Seed Mix <br />Based on consultation with the local office of the Soil Conservation Service (NRCS), the <br />following seed mix is proposed: <br />Table E-1: Permanent Seed Mix <br /> <br />Species <br />Variety PLS <br /> <br />(Ibs/acre) Percent of <br /> <br />Mix (%) <br />Big Bluestem Kaw 0.6 10 <br />Yellow Indiangrass Cheyenne 0.5 10 <br />Switchgrass Blackwell 0.5 20 <br />Sideoats Grama Vaughn 0.9 20 <br />Western Wheatgrass Arriba, Barton 1.6 20 <br />Green Needlegrass Lodorm 0.5 10 <br />Blue Grama Hachita 0.2 10 <br />Fourwing Saltbrush Native 0.5 Shrubs <br />Winterfat Native 0.5 Shrubs <br />Weed Control <br />Noxious weeds will be managed in accordance with the Colorado Noxious Weed <br />Management Act and County regulations. Mowing and/or application of an herbicide (as <br />recommended by the Elbert County Weed Specialist) may be used to control weeds on <br />site during mining and the early establishment of reclaimed areas. <br />Several statutory noxious weed species are designated for management by Elbert <br />County, although none of these are currently known to exist on or near the permit area. <br />Should a noxious weed infestation or the presence of other persistent weeds threaten <br />the site and reclamation efforts, the Applicant will address the problem with mitigation <br />and management strategies consistent with the Division of Reclamation, Mining and <br />Safety policy concerning noxious weeds. <br />The Denver Brick Company January 2007 <br />Kiowa Clay Mine Page 10 <br />
