Supoort Facilities <br />Roads within the lands requested for release include the northern portion of the Old Tipple Road, the <br />North Road, Skyline Drive, West Ridge Pond Road, Center Ridge Pond Road, Moffat Area Pond <br />Road, and roads associated with the ponds. All roads within the requested release area have been <br />approved for permanent retention. <br />All roads were stable at the time of the inspection with no problems noted. Curley cup gum weed and <br />bindweed were evident in small patches in the roads with some annual weeds evident along the <br />roads. No rutting or down cutting was evident during the inspection. <br />The office area and gravel pad were stable with no problems noted. Yellow sweet clover was <br />predominating on the gravel pad and the Old Tipple Road. A small amount of houndstoungue was <br />noted along the gravel pad area. <br />Topsoil <br />Topsoil depths were not verified during this inspection as depths were measured previously. Records <br />are available at the Division offices and at the Edna Mine site. No problems were noted with topsoil at <br />the time of the inspection. <br />Revegetation <br />The establishment of vegetation was visually inspected to determine its support of the post mining <br />land use of rangelands. Based on this visual on the ground inspection, Edna's vegetation cover and <br />shrub density are acceptable and no problems were noted. Few noxious species were noted during <br />the inspection with the exception of the following species at the following locations: <br />There were several sizeable, 40ft X 15ft., patches of Canada thistle along the access road proceeding <br />southward from the gate. Canada thistle (Cirsium arvense) is a noxious weed on the State of <br />Colorado's B list and needs to be controlled. Several other patches of Canada thistle were <br />encountered westward along Moffat Down Drain #4. The patches appeared to be concentrated near <br />the drainage. One patch of perennial pepperweed was encountered along the drainage of <br />approximately 20 ft. diameter in size. A large patch of Canada thistle was observed at the western <br />extent of the drainage just upslope of the pond. The thistle and pepperweed should be sprayed and <br />managed. <br />West ridge road ditch north of String of Pearls.
