An initial round of <br />seeding and mulching will take place in the spring. This will be a seed mix of temporary annuals <br />as seen in the following seed mix <br />RECEEVED <br />Temporary Seed Mix JAN 2 2 2008 <br />SpeciesCommon Name Seedine Rate GRAND JUNC'I oii riELD OFFICE <br />1.

The furrows will be roughly Vin depth, 100' long between breaks, and <br />be placed along the contour every 100' of slope. The furrows will be placed only along the new <br />slopes created by additional mining from this amendment. At the end of the summer, Elam will <br />repair and regrade any areas of the slope on which erosion features have formed. In the fall the <br />permanent seeding will take place using the above approved seed mix. <br />4 Post Reclamation Site Drainage <br />Almost the entire permit area will drain into the large opening which is created by mining and <br />will likely run towards the northeast corner of the pit. The only areas which will not drain <br />towards the opening created will be on lands which were not disturbed by mining or small <br />portions of the reclaimed topsoil stockpiles. <br />5. Weed Control <br />Elam Construction, Inc. will use BMP's to control weeds. Problem weeds will be monitored <br />closely each spring for as long as the permit is active to determine if they are invading the area. <br />Weed control will be initiated if the problem becomes serious. The Division of Minerals and <br />Geology will be consulted regarding any weed infestation area and any control measures prior to <br />their initiation. It may be necessary to control weeds by mowing after the first year; the feas- <br />ibility of chemical weed control methods will be studied should it be necessary.
