Therefore, this report will cover operations for the <br />entire two-year period from February E, 1980 through February 6, 1982. <br />If you find that the report and fee for last year were filed, we <br />would appreciate the return of the overpayment. <br />Under separate cover we are submitting a Technical Revision to cover <br />the operating changes that have varied from the approved plan. No <br />changes in total lands or disturbed area have been made. This annual <br />report is based on the assumption that the Technical Revision will be <br />approved. <br />Reference is made to MLRB Rules and Regulations, Section 2.41. Please <br />consult the attached map for location of all acreage discussed. <br />2.41 (1) During this reporting period approximately 49.38E acres were <br />affected (see map for acres stripped and/or mined). <br />(2) Approximately 17.60E acres were reclaimed as lake area and <br />` 2.1t acres were reclaimed in revegetated area. <br />.~ `/ (3) Approximately 1.06E acres were backfilled and graded, 2.1E <br />acres were revegetated, and 6.2t acres are being graded. <br />(4) Along the north side of Stages 0 and P approximately 350 <br />cottonwood trees and 50 honey locusts were planted. An area <br />of approximately 2. 1t acres was revegetated with the specified <br />grass seed mixture (Tall Wheatgrass 3.5#, Fairway Wheatgrass <br />3.5#, Smooth Bromegrass 3.0# and Alkali Sacaton 0.5#). All <br />planting occurred between April 1 and May 15, 1981. (See <br />attached map for area revegetated.) <br />(5) No soil additives were used. <br />(6) Tree plantings met with mixed success. The progress of the <br />cottonwoods was .only fair with some outright failures. The <br />honey locusts did better with a good start. At this time <br />growth of the grass mixture does not appear to have been <br />successful. However, a dense weed growth may be covering <br />any success that may have occurred during the very dry summer. <br />
