Section 780.181 b) Continued <br />grazing can be reestablished Kerr's original estimate of 13 to 14 years is based upon <br />the requirement of Section 816.116(bllt) being met. Kerr does not believe it will take <br />13 to 14 years before successful revegetation can be achieved but does anticipate <br />that up to 11 to 12 years will be needed to achieve the ground cover required to meet <br />revegetation success standards. <br />Kerr is aware of differences in the OSM and DMG regulations regarding the time-frame <br />which initiates the commencement of the liability period. Kerr will comply with the <br />requirement of 30 CFR 816.115. Since it is impossible at the present time to place a <br />definite time-frame or outline management practices due to the likelihood of BLM <br />changing the current allotment boundaries and season of use, these details will be <br />submitted to the DMG at least one year prior to the initiation of long-term grazing or <br />other management-related practices. <br />When long-term grazing is reestablished, grazing management plans will be flexible to <br />assure that stock rates are adjusted to the annual level of forage produced. Fencing, <br />• salting, watering and associated management practices will be implemented as <br />described in Section 816.115. Undisturbed lands within the mine plan area will be <br />managed as in the past. <br />TR-19 780-83c Revised 11/98 <br /> <br />
