A-Gulch drill holes were first plugged with a concrete plug. The drill pad sites and <br />associated road was then graded using nearby, available earthen materials. The approved <br />seedmix was broadcast seeded in October, 2003 followed by covering with a coconut <br />matting. The culvert located in the bottom of the ephemeral drainage was also removed. <br />Weed Control <br />Early thistles, houndstongue and Whitetop were sprayed by a contractor using Telar and <br />Banvel herbicides in accordance with the label requirements. Late thistles, houndstongue <br />and Russian knapweed were sprayed with a mixture of Banvel and Redeem herbicides in <br />accordance with the labels. Areas sprayed included general disturbance areas such as <br />road cuts, warehouse storage areas, pond outslopes, etc. <br />Redeem herbicide was also applied to Russian Knapweed and thistles in accordance with <br />the requirements of the label. Areas sprayed again included general minesite disturbance <br />aeeas and pond slopes. <br />No seeded reclaimed areas were in need of weed control. <br />Rill and Gully Survey <br />The Lower Hubbard Creek site, the Bear Creek site, the reclaimed areas of the West <br />Valley fill coal refuse disposal azea and East Yard coal refuse disposal area and the <br />reclaimed degas wells sites were inspected for the formation of rills and gullies deeper <br />than nine inches. No such gullies were encountered requiring follow-up repair and <br />seeding. <br />Reclamation May <br />Due to the very small acreage of total reclamation, and the scattered nature of such <br />reclamation versus the much larger Permit area, an attempt to present the information on <br />a map would be of limited utility. The Division has, within the PAP, a number of maps <br />showing the location of the particular reclaimed areas. We have also included with this <br />report the following ATTACHMENT I -SUMMARY OF DISTURBANCE/ SEEDED <br />AREAS summarizing the OMLLC disturbance and reclaimed areas. <br />Please contact me at 970-929-5806 if you have questions or need additional information. <br />Sincerely, <br />~ k~~ <br />J es A.
