Adequate time shall be allowed for the <br /> <br /> reyegetation application to become established prior to <br />. initiation of Phase III (planting of trees). This phase <br /> should not last longer than 5 years; however, jf because <br />~ of climatic conditions, it is determined that additional <br />,; time is needed for vegetation to become established ~ <br />i (Phase II), the operator may petition the Board to extend <br /> the Phase II time period. Phase III well end once the <br /> <br /> operator has completed planting operations of pinon- <br /> Juniper plants. <br /> (ii) Becuase of the nature of the operation and the small size <br /> of the area, i.t is not realistic to specify acreage <br /> figures at this time for reclamation operations. Zone 1 <br /> consists of approximately 13 acres; Zone 2 consists of <br />' approximately 7 acres.
