The only reclamation activities conducted during the year were - <br />associated with repair of rill and gully erosion caused by the deep drifted snow , <br />which accumulated and melted during the spring of the year. Broadcast interseeding <br />and raking was completed following repair. The Pond 2 embankment was also <br />interseeded to improve vegetative cover. Areas seeded are displayed on the attached <br />map and accounted for approximately 1 acre. Seed mix and rate applied were <br />consistent with those approved in the permit. <br />On July 22, 1996, a thistle spraying program was conducted. This program was <br />approved by MR-06 of the permit. A 3 percent solution of Hi-Dep (a 2-4- <br />dichlorohpenoxyacetic acid compound) was sprayed with a hand sprayer directly on <br />thistle plants encountered throughout the site (see attached map). Subsequent site <br />visits indicated that this treatment was successful in killing plants which were <br />sprayed, <br />Should you have questions or if you need additional information concerning these <br />reclamation activities, please do not hesitate to let me know. <br />Sincerely, <br />~ ~L~- <br />Jerry H, Koblitz <br />Permit Coordinator <br />Attachment <br />cc: Lawrence Corte - Senior Environmental Attorney - KN Energy <br />
