~~ ~~~~~ <br />• • <br />DATE ana1~J •~ <br />The area to be reclaimed is just South of County Road 64, and is <br />'divided into two parts by the Cache La Poudre River. The area proposed <br />to be dredge is r/ithin two miles of Greeley, and can be preserved in a ; ~ <br />natural state for the enjoyment of the people of the area. The owner <br />has agreed to provide weed control and stocking of the fishing ponds. <br />Also that part that will not be involved in the mining operations <br />will continue to be planted in field crop. <br />It is the desire of the owners of the land and minerals that the area <br />be preserved in the above manner. <br />RECLAPtATION STANDARDS <br /> <br /> <br />Reclamation shall conform where applicable to the [field County <br />Zing U <br />c -: <br />Regualtions and to the full provisions of the Colorado Open Min 'ig ; <br />r~ <br />Land Reclamation Act of 1976. This is a dredge operation in a i/~tt ~~ , <br />I a <br />~ <br />pit, and the proper slope will be maintained by placing waste fiia~es ~~~ _ <br />~J <br />' <br />back i the water and sha rn the ba{n~ks as opperations ~~oceed.

"-~ <br />~ <br /> - <br />ILd - <br />> <br />Revegatation of the disturbed bank areas will be accomplished ;~r°the _ <br />following manner: Topsoil accumulated along the ponds will be rT`° - <br />reapplied to the areas to be seeded at a depth of six to twelve inches, ~i <br />and graded as to create a final topography appropirate to the final <br />land use. <br />If backfilling is needed waste fines and overburden materials will be <br />used and compacted for stability and to prevent leaching of toxic <br />materials. <br />All grading shall be done in a manner to control erosion and to protect <br />areas outside the affected lands. All refuse and acid-forming producing <br />materials that have been mined shall be handled and disposed of in a manner <br />that will control unsightliness and protect the drainage system from <br />pollution. <br />Seeding will be completed within one year after operations of each <br />phase or within the next planting season after compleation. The :;eedmix <br />will be drilled with a grassland drill equiped with depth bands, :;eedbox <br />agitator and packer wheels. <br />See the following pages for the seed mixture to be used. Each seE~dmix <br />coresponds to a Range Site developed by the Soil Conservation Service. <br />The first seedmixture is recomended for all Range Sites because of its <br />easy vegatation establishment. <br />
