DATE: September 3, 2009 (REVISED September 16, 2009) <br />NAME OF MINE OPERATOR: MULLETT EXCAVATING, LLC <br />NAME OF MINE: MULLETTS EXCAVATING PIT #1 <br />MLRB NUMBER: M-2000-115 <br />APPROXIMATE SIZE OF PROPERTY: 23.31 ACRES <br />1.0 Management Goals: Management goals describe the purpose/use of the property and <br />what you are trying to achieve. Having clear management goals is key to developing <br />a weed management control and management plan. (A management goal may be to <br />restore an area with native vegetation and promote rangeland, or to promote wildlife <br />habitat,) <br />"Management Goal(s): To achieve the goal of noxious weed control the <br />applicant/operator will commit inspect the permit area starting on the outward side <br />of the boundary to observe if any noxious weeds have a potential for invading the <br />Permit Boundary. Then proceed to closely inspect the entire interior of the Permit <br />Boundary for invasive noxious weeds. <br />The procedure described above will commence in April of each calendar year and <br />be repeated bi-monthly through October of the calendar year. Each inspection will <br />duly note any noxious weeds and state the location on site (mapped) and the action <br />taken to control the noxious weeds such as chemical, biological or mechanical <br />method where use to stop the spread of the infestation. This procedure will continue <br />for the life of the mine until the Mined Land Reclamation Board has release the <br />Permit and returned the financial warranty to the applicant/ operator. <br />The aim of this Noxious Weed Control Plan is to formulate and incorporate the plan <br />as part of the RECLAMATION PLAN. This is part of the mine site reclamation <br />during the active mining and the reclamation period. Thus this is the <br />applicants/operators Integrated Weed Management (IWM) guide." <br />2.0 Weed Control Objectives: Objectives are derived from your management goals. <br />They are formed by inventorying the weeds you have on the mine site, determining <br />how they affect your management goals (For example, does the weed reduce forage? <br />Poison livestock? Or crowd out native species?), and determining the most efficient <br />ways to control those weeds. Sometimes a weed control objective will be to simply <br />contain an infestation so that it does not become a problem, or to keep certain weeds <br />off of the mine site. <br />* Added to "Management Goal(s)" September 16, 2009
