<br /> <br />B&B Excavating, Inc Montgomery Pit <br />Mlr File NO. M-86-104, Adequacy Response (cont) <br />site will be. The bond covers the disturbance caused by <br />mining and associated uses for this pit. <br />11. That was part of the Special Use approved by Eagle County on <br />July 22, 1986. <br />Exhibit E- Reclamation Plan <br />1. The division of Wildlife representative stated broad casting <br />sagebrush with the seed mixture would be sufficient in bringing <br />back the sagebrush for winter range. He did not recommend <br />the rate to be used. We did not designate any areas as "sagebrush <br />habitat area". B&B chooses not to use bitterbrush, service <br />berry and mountain mahogany. <br />2. We did that when we stated the trees would be planted along <br />the ditch. Mr. Heicher of the DOW suggested using willows to <br />help improve the riparian habitat along the new ditch and we <br />will do that. In addition we stated that trees would be replaced <br />for the first three years and then the plantings would be <br />monitored, other wise we may be replacing trees until the 22nd <br />century trying to get the reclamation bond released. <br />3. We will using the SCS recommendations unless the Staff would <br />like Guarantee in writing their seed mixture will grow, in <br />which case we will gladly switch.

In the mine floor a depressed <br />shallow bed will be constructed so as to better contain any <br />water coming down the drainage. In addition this will slow <br />down erosion in the drainage. <br />Exhibit F Reclamation Plan Map. <br />1. The attached map shows the riparian habitat to be disturbed <br />during mining. Mr Heicher recommends: <br />1) Enhancing the existing riparian habitat area by placing <br />new vegetation along the river, where this vegetation doesn't <br />exist or is sparse and <br />2) Placing new riparian vegetation along the ditch. <br />This is reasonable and will be done by B&B Excavating, Inc. <br />4 <br />
