REX E LOES$y pE 3037719632 <br />• . <br />(iv) The seed should be drilled into the topsoil azea. If seed is not drilled, all <br />rates shall be doubled. If the seedbed bas not been adequately roughened prior to seeding, the <br />recd shall be raked or harrowed after broadcast application. <br />(v) The mulch applied shall be 4000 pounds of gress/ttay per acre with an <br />effective crunping method applied. <br />(vi) Shrubs will be planted from corriainer stock or transplanted or stetted from <br />root cuttings from wild stock in the immediate area. Trees are planned to be planted from <br />seedling, tubling, or transplanted from the site. The planned species of shrubs aze those <br />consistent with the area such as Oregon grape, cinquefoil, current, rose, mountain snowbeny, <br />and Rocky Mountain purple. The planned species of trees are those consistent with the area such <br />as spruce, firi, pine, and aspen. Shrubs and trees will be planted randomly in the revegetatcd <br />areas to create diversity of form and color, and to extend stands of similar species. Planting rates <br />will bo 20 to 40 seedlings pa grouping and from 2 to 5 groups per acre. Tree and shrub <br />seedlings/tublingswtll be planted with shingle protective boards or a similar protective structure <br />to prevcrtt dessication and assist in establishment. If necessary, protective mesh will be used to <br />prevent wildlife from eating fresh seedling stock. <br />Retgainlna Features: The Marble Hlstorieal Society requested that such historic <br />features as the cable tower outside the middle quarry entry (which is outside the effected azea), <br />the quarry entries, and the marble waste piles remain after mining is complete. Below is a copy <br />of a letter from the Marble Historical Society requesting that the waste piles remain exposed <br />after mining is complete. A road will remain that traverses tlu waste piles. The approximate <br />alignment of the road is shown on Exhibft E -Reclamation Plan Map. The maximtuu width of <br />the road will be ! 5 feet, and will provide permanent private access to the quarry tntries and the <br />White Marble No. 2 placer Claim. With permission from the owner of the quarry property, the <br />road may also be used by jeep tour operators to allow viewing of the historic quarry workings by <br />members of the public not willing or able to hike to the quarry along the trail Pernwnent fences <br />will be conswcted for public safety in al] quarry openings that rue not back5lled. Portions of <br />fences remain from the Inactive Mine Program's efforts in the mid-1980's to improve public <br />safety at the site. Similaz fences will be constntcted, possibly during muting operations, and <br />certainly at rho completion ofopetations, <br />P, B2 <br />The existing foot trail from the base of the waste pile to the south quarry entry wilt <br />remain. Phis trail tray be rerouted over the waste pile to intersect with the remaining access road <br />directly cast of the middle quarry entry. If it is determined that the trail is public (to be <br />determined sometime in 2000 by litigation between McIntyre and Gunnison County), Sierra will <br />improve the trail from its current condition by creating a more gradual slope and sotre steps <br />where necessary. The trail will be single track and a grade of no more then 15 percent. Arainage <br />diversion structures are not envisioned as the existing trail has shown no erosion that might make <br />suoh structures necessary. <br />l3 <br />
