6.4.5 Exhibit E -Reclamation Plan <br />Mulching will not be completed as the quality soils and availability of water should <br />facilitate the rapid establishment of perennial grasses. <br />Following revegetation, weed management strategies will be implemented to <br />facilitate and achieve native grassland. Years 1 thru 5 following revegetation will <br />include an aggressive mowing program to prevent the growth and establishment <br />of weeds, specifically, the eight noxious weeds including: Canada thistle <br />(Cirsium arvense), Dalmation toadflax (Linaria dalmatica), diffuse knapweed <br />(Centaurea diffusa), leafy spurge (Euphorbia esula), musk thistle (Carduus <br />nutans), Russian knapweed (Centaurea repens), spotted knapweed (Centaurea <br />maculosa) and Yellow toadflax (Linaria vulgaris) as mandated by Colorado State <br />Law (35-5.5CRS1990, 1996). If needed, herbicide application will be applied as <br />needed to further control these weeds. Herbicides will also be used to control <br />saltecedar (Tamarix spp.) if it becomes established in the reclaimed area. Table <br />6.4.5-5 presents recommended herbicides, application rate, and time of <br />application for each of the 9 species. It may be necessary to replant treated <br />areas. <br />Gardels Pit <br />Regular 112 Permit Application <br />
