• Exhibit Page 39 • <br />For areas around ponds: collecting native willow cuttings (Sa/ix exigua) from adjacent <br />sites along the river and planting them at the interface between water and land. Another <br />species of native shrub ... is buffaloberry (Shepherdia argentea). ... also recommend <br />planting hardstem bulrush (Scirpus acutus), Olney threesquare bulrush (Scirpus <br />americanus), and bluejoint reedgrass (Calamagrostis canadensis) along the pond margin. <br />The bulrushes can be planted in water to a depth of one foot. <br />For permanent berms (if they are left]: For the shrub plantings on top of the berms, <br />recommend woods rose (Rosa woodsii), chokecherry (Prunus virginiana), skunkbush <br />sumac (Rhus trilobata), and golden currant (Ribes aureum). <br />Based on Mr. Fuller's recommendation, for this landscaping planting, seed for shore and berm <br />plants would be broadcast at a rate of 5 pounds PLS per acre. Native willow cuttings would be <br />collected and planted at a one-foot spacing along the shore of each area. Bullrushes would be <br />planted in mixed clusters of a dozen plants, about one foot apart, in water up to one foot deep. <br />This is NOT part of reclamation to DMG standards, but only for County landscaping <br />requirements. <br />6. General instructions regarding seeding and care: <br />All seedings will be mulched with approximately 4000 lbs. of weed-free straw spread and <br />crimped into the seedbed to a depth of 4 inches, with tracked equipment. <br />For drilling, a grass drill with depth bands and press wheels to a planting depth of '/ to 1 inch <br />will be used. Unless irrigated, seeding will be during the period from 15 October to 15 <br />December (late fall), but depending on weather conditions, may be done as late as 30 April <br />(when free of frost). If irrigation is intended for at least the first full growing season, planting will <br />be done between April and August at the end of mining and reclamation operations for the year <br />for the particular piece of land being reclaimed. <br />Weed control will be mechanical (mowing) after establishment, on or about 1 June (before <br />annual weeds have a chance to seed) for the first year. Other control (chemical) should be <br />coordinated with the land owner and County weed and pest control agency. Use of chemical <br />control will be evaluated on an annual basis, and the agency will recommend specific <br />applications, rates and schedules based on weeds observed and other conditions. Beyond the <br />first year, use of mowing, grazing, and other weed control measures will also be evaluated and <br />carried out in accordance with agency instructions. <br />Livestock need to be kept off all areas for several years after seeding <br />Four States Aggregates, LLC 15 MAR 2001 <br />Application for Permit: Line Camp Pit M-2001-001 FSA-LCP-D2-001 <br />
