4. Use Reclamation Seed Species List Table 8-2 (attached) substituting Bluebunch Wheatgrass (Secar) <br />and Indian Ricegrass (Nezpar) for Pubescent Wheatgrass (Luna) and Russian Wild Rye (Vinall), is <br />to be used for interim reclamation and applied to all areas not required as working surfaces, <br />including cut and fill slopes on the pad and access roads. <br />The operator is responsible for informing all persons who are associated with the project operations <br />that they will be subject to prosecution for knowingly disturbing paleontological or archaeological <br />sites, or for collecting artifacts or fossils. If artifacts or fossil materials are uncovered during any <br />project or construction activities, the operator is to immediately stop activities in the immediate area <br />of the find that might further disturb such materials, and immediately contact the authorized officer <br />(AO). Within five working days the AO will inform the operator as to: <br />• whether the materials appear to be of noteworthy scientific interest <br />• the mitigation measures the operator will likely have to undertake before the site can be <br />used (assuming in situ preservation is not feasible). <br />• If the operator wishes, at any time, to relocate activities to avoid the expense of mitigation <br />and/or the delays associated with this process, the AO will assume responsibility for <br />whatever recordation and stabilization of the exposed materials may be required. Otherwise, <br />the operator will be responsible for mitigation cost. The AO will provide technical and <br />procedural guidelines for the conduct of mitigation. Upon verification from the AO that the <br />required mitigation has been completed, the operator will then be allowed to resume <br />construction. <br />6. All excavations into the underlying rock formation during pad and road construction must be <br />monitored by an approved paleontologist at the time of excavation. <br />7. Please notify our office at a minimum of 24 hours prior to the commencement of construction, <br />drilling and reclamation activities. <br />If there any questions, please contact Paul Daggett Mining- Engineer at (970)-8783819.-- <br />Sincerely, <br />Kent Walter <br />Field Manager <br />Enc <br />cc <br />Travis Marshall <br />Grand Junction Field Office <br />Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety <br />101 South 3'd, Suite 301 <br />Grand Junction, CO 81501 <br />
