These seed mixtures will be a minimum of 99 percent pure live seed <br />containing a maximum of I% weeds none of which are noxious. Seed will <br />be distributed at the specified rate of pounds per acre. <br />6. The pad areas will be fertilized (30-0-0, minimum NPK), seeded with the <br />approved seed mix, and mulched (certified N?7eed-free straw). <br />7. USFS approved BMP's will be utilized to reduce erosion and provide soil <br />stabilization on the site after fertilizing, seeding and mulching is complete. <br />8. The access roads will be restored as closely as possible to the approxinnate <br />original contour with an uneven final surface; re-seeded, fertilized, and <br />mulched as above. <br />9. The drill pads and access roads reclamation procedure outlined above will <br />apply only to those areas for this proposed project. Existing roads will be left <br />in a condition equal to or better than that observed on Mountain Coal <br />Company's entry into the area or decommissioned according to the <br />specifications in the COA's. <br />10. MCC will perform noxious Nveed eradication as needed on all roads and drill <br />pads in the project area during the course of the sumnnerlfall reclamation season. <br />DRILL HOLE PLUGGING METHODS: <br />The hole plugging method described in 43 CFR II 3484.1(a) or Colorado Division <br />of Minerals and Geology (CDMG) Rules and Regulations at 4.07.3, states that each open <br />hole will be plugged with cement from bottom to 50 feet above the uppennost thick coal <br />seam and from 50 feet below to 50 feet above any aquifers encountered in the hole. The <br />remainder of the hole is to be filled with an approved completion mud, gel, cuttings, or <br />cement to within 5 feet of the surface. A 5-foot cement surface plug would be set, and an <br />appropriately labeled monument marker to be cemented into the surface plug. Surface <br />casing is to be cut off at or below the level of the soil surface. <br />In accordance with the recent Coal Program Guidance Document-Methane <br />Drainage and Monitoring Wells, MDW wells will be plugged per DMG Rules 2.05.4 and <br />4.07.3 at the minimum, recognizing that due to subsidence, damage to the casing may <br />preclude setting a packer within 50 feet of the perforated 7-inch casing. In such cases, the <br />packer will be set at the lowest possible point in the Nvell. A cement plug will be installed <br />with tremrnie line beginning at the plug and preceding a minimum of 50 feet up the well. <br />From that point the hole may be plugged to within 5 foot of the casing cut-off point with <br />approved materials. The top 5 feet of the well below the sub-surface casing cut-off point <br />(3 feet below surface) will be plugged with a cement cap. The top 3 foot of the casing <br />will then be cutoff and the hole filled in with subsoil. A permanent marker shall be <br />installed on top of the plug identifying the MDW. The pad will then be reclaimed to <br />8
