Weed Control Plan Summary If noxious weeds become a problem during the mining and/or reclamation phases of this project, a weed control plan will be prepared by a Licensed Commercial Pesticide Applicator (LCPA). All subsequent weed control activities will also be conducted by an LCPA. The plan to be prepared will take the form of an Integrated Pest Management Plan (IPM) which will consider all methods of control which would potentially be applicable to the project area. These methods include mechanical, chemical, cultural, and biological techniques. Prior to plan preparation, a visit to the project area will be conducted by the LCPA to assess site conditions, routes of access, weedy species present, locations of water bodies, potential sources of run-on and run-off, wind conditions, and any other factors relevant to the weed control planning process. Given the presence of adjacent wetlands and other Waters of the U, emphasis will be given to weed control methods other than those of a chemical nature. Chemical herbicides do exist which are safe and applicable for use in and near wetlands and other Waters of the U. S. Where necessary, safe and efficient chemical control methods will be employed. It is anticipated, however, that where chemical control methods are specified, the application method will take the form of "spot" applications (with "selective" herbicides) as opposed to "broadcast" applications to reduce the potential for contamination of soil, water, and air. Herbicide transportation, storage, mixing, loading, application, and disposal methods will comply with all applicable requirements of State and Federal laws. Revegetation activities following site closure work must be timed to coincide with a recognized planting season. Grading and ripping may ordinarily occur during any month of the year. However, resoiling and revegetation activities are more limited with respect to the time of yeaz in which they can be completed. Tables E-6: Preferred (Fall) Revegetation Schedule and E-7: Alternate (Springy Revegeta[ion Schedule depict the schedules, on a monthly basis, to be followed to achieve the revegetation objectives set for this project. Site conditions and/or climatic variables may require that this schedule be modified somewhat to achieve revegetation success.
