WEED MANAGEMENT PLAN <br />Active mining areas within the Parsons Mine property will be actively managed for noxious weed <br />control with a combination of chemical and mechanical methods. Site evaluations will be <br />conducted and management plans developed and implemented annually in an effort to maintain <br />control of and/or eradicate noxious weeds, including Canada Thistle, Musk Thistle, Field <br />Bindweed, Salt Cedar, Russian Olive and Leafy Spruge. Efforts are will also be focused on Kochia <br />and Cheatgrass prior to revegetation of reclaimed areas. <br />Areas outside of active mining areas will continue to be managed for agricultural production and <br />grazing. Weed management will continue under the terms of the agricultural lease on the site. <br />However, grazing will be managed and limited within the riparian corridor to allow native <br />vegetation to reestablish. A revegetation plan to reestablish native grasses and enhance the riparian <br />zone will also be initiated and include aggressive control of Kochia, Cheatgrass and other weeds, <br />followed by grass drill seeding if necessary, to enhance reestablishment of native grasses. <br />Parsons Mine <br />DRMS 112 Permit <br />Page 1 of I
