The area ~~roposed to be dredge is within two miles of Greeley, and can be preserved in a natural state for the enjoyment of the people of the area. The ocaner has agreed to provide weed control and stocking of the fishing Fonds. Also that part that will not be involved in the mining operations will continue to be planted in Field crop. It is t1~e desire of the ocaners of the land and minerals that the area be preserved in the above manner. RECLAMATION STANDARDS Reclamation shall conform where applicable to the [Je1d County Zoining Regualtions and to the full provisions of the Colorado Open Mining Land Reclamation Act of 1976. This is a dredge operation in a w=t pit, and the proper slope will be maintained by placing waste fires back in the caater and shaping the banks as operations proceed.

If backfilling is needed waste fines and overburden materials wi7.1 be used and compacted for stability and to prevent leaching of toxic materials. All grading shall be done in a manner to control erosion and to protect areas outside the affected lands. All refuse and acid-forming producing materials that have been mined shall be handled and disposed of in a manner that will control unsightliness and protect the drainage system from pollution. Seeding will be completed within one year after operations of each phase or within the next planting season after compleation. The seedmix will be drilled with a grassland drill equiped with depth bands, seedbox agitator and packer wheels, See the following pages for the seed mixture to be used. Each seedmix co responds to a Range Site developed by the Soil Conservation Service. The first seedmixture is recomended for all Range Sites because of its easy vegatation establishment.
