Stored topsoil will be distributed as evenly as possible over the disturbed pad area. <br />5. The entire drill pad areas and reclaimed roads will be re-seeded using the <br />USFS/CDRMS-agreed seed mix (described below) for reclamation purposes on <br />National Forest Service lands (correspondence regarding MCC 2005 Annual <br />Operating Plan dated May 13, 2005 from Levi Broyles, USFS to Mike Peacock, <br />MCC). <br />US FS/CDMG -Agreed Seed Mix -- Mountain Shrub Habitat Type <br />Species PLS lb/acre % Of Mix <br />Mountain brome ass 3 14 <br />Prairie iuneerass 2 10 <br />Western wheatarass 4 19 <br />Indian ricemws 3 14 <br />Sandbur blueerass 3 14 <br />Bluebunch wheat ass 3 14 <br />Eri eron s eciosus 1 a roximate 5 <br />Coreo sis lanceolata 1 a roximate 5 <br />Thermo sis i ontana 1 a roximate 5 <br />Total 20 100 <br />11 <br />This seed mixture will be a minimum of 99 percent pure live seed containing a <br />maximum of 1 percent weeds none of which are noxious. Seed must be distributed at <br />specified pounds per acre. <br />6. The pad areas will be fertilized (25-5-5, minimum NPK), seeded with the approved <br />seed mix, and mulched (certified weed-free straw or erosion control blankets). <br />7. The low volume roads (a typical design is shown in Figure No. 4) will be restored as <br />closely as possible to the approximate original contour, re-seeded, fertilized, and <br />mulched as above. The low volume roads (which will be temporary), if required to be <br />decommissioned by obliteration in the FS decision document, will be reclaimed, as <br />not all the project low volume roads will be obliterated, rather the FS identified some <br />may be decommissioned to ATV trails to support the post-mining land use. <br />8. The drill pads and low-volume roads reclamation procedure outlined above will apply <br />only to those areas newly disturbed for this proposed project. Existing roads will be <br />
