~:~ <br /> <br />REHABILITATION EFFECT OF RECLAMATION <br />Although much of the surrounding vegetation consists of <br />pinyon pine and juniper, the affected land will be planted <br />largely in grass with some desert shrubs by recommendation <br />of the surface owners, the Bureau of Land Management. This <br />type of revegetation will be of greater benefit to the <br />rangeland and wildlife habitat uses of the land an8 will <br />provide better and more immediate soil stabilization. <br />RECLAMATION TIMETABLE <br />Due to the small area involved and the underground nature <br />of the mine, constant use of the disturbed area is necessary, <br />and reclamation cannot begin until all mining activity has <br />ceased. <br />Within five years after reclamation has begun, the following <br />activities will be completed: <br />. 1. Sealing of adits, shafts, ventholes, etc. <br />2. Removal of surface buildings <br />3. Grading of waste dump and other affected land <br />4. Preparation of seedbed, where applicable <br />5. Revegetation, where applicable <br />A description of grading, seeding, fertilization, revegeta- <br />tion, and topsoiling may be found under the section entitled <br />"Reclamation Performance Standards." <br /> <br />
