operation, the permit area will be monitored closely every year which the operator is active to <br />determine if there are any additional weeds invading the area. If any new species of weeds are <br />found, Montrose County Weed Control Authority and the Division will be consulted in order to <br />formulate the best plan for the new infestation. <br />8. Revegetation Success Criteria <br />Revegetation will be deemed adequate when erosion is controlled, and the vegetation is <br />considered satisfactory according to Division standards. <br />9. Monitoring Reclamation Success <br />Monitoring the reclamation on an ongoing basis will assure successful reclamation. The operator <br />plans to use the local NRCS office to determine the capacity of the reclaimed land to control <br />erosion. If minor changes or modifications are needed to the seeding and reclamation plan, <br />revision plans will be submitted to the Division. It is hoped that the Division will provide <br />assistance in evaluating the success of the ongoing reclamation process. Information on all areas <br />disturbed and reclaimed as well as any other important items regarding the reclamation will be <br />submitted in the annual reports to the Division. <br />10. Worst Case Reclamation Scenario <br />The worst case reclamation scenario takes place at the end of mining. At the worst case there <br />will be side slopes of 3H:1 V and 1.5H:1 V which need to be reclaimed. All slopes will receive at <br />least a 12 inch layer of soil. The soil to be replaced will come from the topsoil pile to the north of <br />the pit. <br />The only structure on site will be the truck scale which has a concrete foundation. The scale <br />house will remain in place after reclamation for use during hay sales. <br />Mott pit, March 2009 D-5
