USDA. Soil Conservation Service. 1979. Standards and Specifications: Seeding Rates, <br />Tech. Guide. <br />V.K. Reclamation Cost Estimate <br />BME has concurred with the cost of reclamation estimated by DMG for the Deserado Mine. A <br />summary of this cost estimate by various tasks provided by DMG is attached in Illustration 47. <br />The 1999 Permit Renewal estimate of total reclamation vests, including direct costs, contractor <br />profit, and overhead is $5,052,786. Details of the cost estimate are available from DMG, and from <br />BME's Deserado Mine office. <br />1 ~ _ . The reclamation timetable is divided into two portions representing reclamation during mining <br />(refuse disposal areas) and postmining reclamation. The timetable for revegetation of refuse <br />disposal areas during mining is shown on Map 76. Table V-7 gives the revegetation schedule <br />during mining through the fourth mine permit term (2004). The following timetable is the <br />approximate schedule for post-mining reclamation. <br />TASK APPROXIMATE YEARS <br />(': ;._ Mobilization 2024 <br />~` Facility Demolition 2024 <br />Regrading 2024-2025 <br />Topsoil Replacement 2024-2025 <br />Seeding 2024-2025 <br />V.L. Weed Management <br />'Weeds' broadly refers to unwanted vegetation. Various methods of control include 1) planting of <br />desirable vegetation, 2) alteration of growth environment, 3) mechanical removal, 4) biological <br />control, and 5) chemical control. The method or combination of methods used depends on the <br />weed species, growth stage, location, regulatory designation (i.e. is it classified as noxious and if <br />so, is it on List A, B, or C), extent of infestation, and availability of the equipment or chemical for <br />control. It is not our intent to identify what methods will be used in every situation within this <br />permit. Doing so would only serve to limit BME's ability to adapt to unique situations. <br />Rule 4.18(5)(8) requires Division approval for use of 'persistent' pesticides. Non-persistent <br />pesticides such as 2,4-D and glyphosate (Roundup) do not fall into this category requiring specific <br />Division approval. Persistent pesticides approved by the Division for use at the Deserado Mine <br />include picloram (Tordon), imazapyr (Arsenal), imazapyr +diuron (Sahara), bromacil (Hyvar), <br />bromacil +diuron (Krovar), tebuthiuron (Spike), imazapic (Plateau), imazapic +glyphosate <br />(Journey), metsulfuron (Escort), and chlorsulfuron (Telar). <br />MR731 (5/2006) V-65 <br />
