~} <br />4. The species of vegetation planted, the locations and approximate <br />dates of planting. <br />RESPONSE: <br />• Pounds/Acre <br />Wheat (for cover crap) 10 <br />Big bluegrass (Poa ampla) 6 <br />Alfalfa (Medicago sativa) 4 <br />TOTAL 20 PLS pounds/acre <br />Exhibit 2.41 Annual Reclamtion Map shows the location of the <br />planting. <br />The area was planted in mid-October 1985. <br />5. The type and approximate quantity of fertilizers, organic material <br />or soil conditions used and location of use. <br />RESPONSE: <br />No fertilizers, organic material or soil conditioners were used <br />during the last year at Mesa Gravel Pit. <br />6. An appraisal of the success or reclamation efforts and in the event <br />of failure of any efforts, a short narrative on the suspected or <br />determined cause of such failure. <br />RESPONSE: <br />Reclamation seeding is entering its third full growing season on a <br />portion of the permit area. Observations made this past spring <br />indicate this area is providing a good stand of vegetative cover <br />and is also adequately controlling erosion. The area seeded in the <br />fall 1985 is presently providing ground cover. Remedial actions <br />will be taken this fall by spot seeding if necessary. <br />Tri State Generating Company constructed a road through an area <br />that was topsoiled and seeded last fall (1985). Tri State has <br />assured us that upon completion of the power line the road will be <br />reclaimed (see Exhibit 2.41). <br />7. Estimates of the location and number of acres to be affected in the <br />coming year. <br />RESPONSE: <br />Exhibit D-1, Mining Plan, shows the anticipated direction of <br />mining. At the present time, mining has not advanced as far as <br />proposed on Exhibit D-1. This is due to production as mentioned <br />earlier. Our proposed rate for the coming year should reach the <br />49,000 tons as permitted. The anticipated disturbance for <br />1985-1986 is: <br />
