Parkdale Project ~ 9 • Reclamation Petmit TABLE 3 PREFERRED (FALL) REVEGETATION SCHEDULE Month Reclamation Technique J F M A M J J A S O N D Grading As close to the tune of planting as possible Ripping and Resoiling XXX Seedbed Material Sampling XXX Fertilization XXX Seedbed Preparation XXX Seeding XXX Mulching (if specified) XXX An evaluation to measure revegetation success will be completed at the end of the thud growing season following the last seeding or fertilization treatment applied to the project area. The method to be used to measure success will be consistent with Rule 6 of the "Mineral Rules and Regulations". Revegetation will be considered successful when it has achieved 70 percent of the total premising vegetative ground cover of the selected reference azea and has survived three growing seasons following the last seeding or fertilization operation. Pre-mining vegetative ground cover will be based on measurements of ground cover of an adjacent undisturbed azea supporting a similaz vegetation community. 2.10 Site Protection and Management The perimeter of the Pazkdale Project is fenced and the fence will be maintained to continue to restrict public and stock access. Signs will be posted identifying the area as restricted and cattle guards installed as appropriate. The fencing and signs will remain in place until the area is reclaimed. 2.11 Weed Control A project specific Noxious Weed Management Plan will be developed in cooperation with the County Agent. 2.12 Concurrent and Final Reclamation Reclamation will be concurrent to the extent possible during active mining operations. Current planning includes opening the aggregate pit in October 1997 and mining for more than ten years.
