0 Sites that are no longer expected to be used would be reclaimed as soon as possible. <br />Rangeland <br />Rangeland would be protected from invasive weeds by methods outlined in the Weed <br />Management Plan. <br />Invasive Non-Native Species <br />Prior to any construction disturbance, all known noxious weed populations would be flagged so <br />that they may be avoided. <br />3. Prior to entering the project area, vehicles and equipment would be cleaned by manual <br />methods of all mud, dirt, and plant parts where there is potential to import weeds. <br />Equipment, material, and vehicles would be stored at specified work areas or construction yards. <br />All employee vehicles, sanitary facilities, and staging areas, would be confined to a limited <br />number of specified weed-free locations to decrease chances of incidental disturbance and spread <br />of noxious weeds and invasive plants. <br />Disturbed areas would be promptly seeded following completion of activities to reduce the <br />potential for the spread and establishment of noxious weeds and invasive plants. <br />Only DRMS/CountyBLM-approved mixtures of certified "weed-free" seed would be used. All <br />other introduced materials used for mining activities such as straw, fill, and gravel would also be <br />certified weed-free. <br />Pesticides may be used to control noxious weeds. The Operator would obtain from the BLM an <br />approved pesticide use proposal prior to application of any pesticides at the Sunday Mines. <br />Pesticide application records would be submitted annually subsequent to pesticide applications. <br />Wastes <br />Non-mining related solid wastes (including, but not limited to, tires, hoses, and plastic sheeting) <br />would be stored in a roll-off container for off-site disposal. A contractor would empty the <br />container and dispose of the contents on a regular basis. Solid waste would be properly disposed <br />of in accordance with state and local regulations. <br />Small volumes of waste oil, crank case oil, antifreeze, and non-chlorinated solvents would be <br />stored in the maintenance shop or in locked storage containers. Waste products of these <br />chemicals collected as a result of routine vehicle and equipment maintenance would be stored in <br />steel drums in the maintenance shop or within a plastic- and earthen-lined bermed area and <br />would be picked up on a periodic basis by a contractor for disposal or recycling. These materials <br />would be handled and disposed of in accordance with federal, state, and local regulations. All <br />• <br />2
