<br />F.XHT_BT NATION P N NARRATIVE (CONTINUED) <br />(Revised 02/07/95) <br />Compaction will be achieved by driving trucks and other <br />equipment over filled areas, and by the use of equipment on <br />the bank areas, prior to placement of topsoil for revegetation <br />(if any bank areas remain as part of permanent reclamation). <br />If lake banks are part of permanent reclamation, maintenance <br />of the banks will be required as part of ongoing maintenance <br />with reconstruction of banks being undertaken, or placement of <br />riprap in some areas, as needed. <br />4. Abutting the west and north sides of the property will be the <br />South Platte River channel area. This area will serve a dual <br />purpose of flood control and wildlife habitat. Ground cover <br />vegetation will be established in the northwest corner of the <br />property, north and west of the riprap trench and the slurry <br />wall. The ground cover will be established by placement of 6" <br />of topsoil borrowed from an approved mining area and seeding <br />in accordance with the approved plan. If existing sands and <br />gravels are to be removed prior to topsoil placement in order <br />to comply with regulations regarding fill placement in a <br />floodway, then care will be exercised to avoid damaging root <br />systems of the trees in the area. No topsoil will be placed, <br />or surface material removed, in the drip zones of existing <br />trees within the area north of the rip-rap trench and slurry <br />wall area. <br />5. The reclamation recommendations included in Exhibits I and J, <br />on subsoiling, mulching, fertilization, weed control, and <br />grazing will be followed. <br />Approximately 12" of topsoil/overburden material shall be <br />utilized for revegetation, except along the South Platte River <br />Berm Area, where 6" will be utilized to cover existing non- <br />vegetated areas west and north of the future reservoir bank <br />for reseeding along the S. Platte River channel area. The <br />following seed mixture shall be planted for permanent <br />revegetation in all areas proposed for revegetation: <br />,raac c % of Mix Pr_S Per Acre <br />Western wheatgrass, Barton 20% 3.2 <br />Streambank wheatgrass, Sodar 10% 1.1 <br />Slender wheatgrass, common 10% 1.1 <br />Switchgrass, Blackwell 10% .5 <br />Little bluestem 10% .7 <br />Blue gram, Covington 10% .6 <br />Sideoats grama, Vaughn 10% .9 <br />Cicer Milk vetch, Monarch 10% 1.3 <br />Total Pure Live Seed (PLS) per acre 9.4 <br />
