5. Revegetation Plan <br />The areas being reclaimed will be harrowed and drill seeded in the spring and fall with a mix <br />consisting of the following in order to control erosion: <br />Rangeland Mix lbs. of PLS/Acre <br />Alkali Sacaton 3.0 <br />Inland Saltgrass 3.0 <br />Indian Ricegrass 2.0 <br />Needle and Thread Grass 1.0 <br />Western Wheatgrass 3.5 <br />Rubber Rabbit Brush 0.3 <br />Fourwing Saltbush 0.25 <br />Total 13.05 lbs/acre <br />These grasses and shrubs have proven to do well in the dry lowland environment of western <br />Colorado. They will prevent erosion and do provide forage and cover for animals. Certified weed <br />free hay or straw mulch will also be applied at the rate of 2000 lbs/acre. The mulch will be <br />crimped into the ground to provide soil stabilization. <br />6. Post-Reclamation Site Drainage <br />The site will contain a 100 year 24 hour event event. The stormwater containment berms will <br />hold back the water producing a shallow pool. This pool will quickly dissipate into the pit floor. <br />No drainages enter the site, meaning a diversion ditch will not be needed. Stormwater will sheet <br />flow down the side slopes (3H:1V) across the pit floor and pool behind the isolation berm. <br />Moonscape Pit, July 2009 E-9
