7. POST-RECLAMATION SITE DRAINAGE <br />The entire permit area will drain to the lake after reclamation, as shown on Map F. <br />8. REVEGETATION SUCCESS CRITERIA <br />Since the pre-mine site is basically devoid of soil and vegetation, and the post-mining use of the <br />staging area is industrial, no strict vegetation success criteria is warranted. It is suggested that the <br />vegetation of the staging area and the upper lake slopes be above 10% live perennial cover. <br />The wetland areas should be restored to typical wetland covers of at least 50% live perennial cover. <br />The revegetated area will be monitored for success of reclamation until accepted by the Division. <br />If revegetation failures occur prior to release, an analysis of the site will be made and the area will <br />be revegetated again as necessary. <br />9. MONITORING RECLAMATION SUCCESS <br />Monitoring the reclamation on an ongoing basis will help to assure successful reclamation. The <br />operator plans to use the local NRCS office in Mesa County to assist in determining the ability of <br />the reclaimed land to control erosion and any other suggestions which may enhance the reclamation <br />of the site. If minor changes or modifications are needed to the seeding and reclamation plan, revi- <br />sion plans will be submitted to the Division as required. It is hoped that the Division will provide <br />assistance in evaluating the success of the ongoing reclamation process. All areas disturbed and <br />reclaimed and any other important items regarding the reclamation will be submitted in the annual <br />reports to the Division. <br />Gilsonite Pit 10/02 21 <br />
