Banks arid Gesso. LLC <br />Maintenance <br />Areas with low seed germination will be reseeded and mulched with the next new <br />seeding area. <br />The landowner intermittently grazes cattle on this 960-acre parcel. When present, the <br />cattle congregate at the two water tanks, where they are also fed daily. One water tank <br />is noted on Exhibit C-1 and the other tank is to the west. Due to the cattle habits of <br />congregating around the water tank, the operator does not expect significant damage to <br />growing grass. If cattle do move onto the reclaimed land, the operator will install a one- <br />wire electric fence around the impacted area. <br />Weed Control Plan <br />Noxious weeds will be controlled both during mining and reclamation. The predominant <br />weeds on the site now are thistle, bindweed, and yucca. Initially any emerging weeds <br />will be mowed in the spring and early summer prior to the formation of seed heads. If <br />this method is not effective, the West Otero Timpas Conservation District will be <br />consulted for a chemical spraying plan. <br />Seed Mix <br />The seed mix will be as follows. <br />Table E-1: Permanent Seed Mix for Final Reclamation <br />l Percent of <br />Common Name Grasses Variety PLS Mix (%)' <br />Side Oats grama Vaughn 4.5 50 <br />Blue grama Lovington 0.75 25 <br />Western wheatgrass Arriba 1.6 10 <br />Sand dropseed Native 0.03 5 <br />Galleta grass (carpopsis) Native 0.2 5 <br />Switchgrass Blackwell 0.25 5 <br />TOTALS 7.33 100 <br />All-Rite Paving & Redi-Mix, Inc. u9uu2 <br />Proctor Pit 12 July, 2009
