If applicable, add to the discussion <br />the approximate time that monitoring ceased for all spoil spring locations. <br />New Items <br />85. For the Annual Reporting in Section 2.05.4(2)(e) Subsection 10.0, please add four more items. <br />a. Annual Soil Balance report including survey based data sufficient to verify that the <br />reclamation plan on Map 2.05.4-4 remains accurate. <br />b. Soil lift thickness data and soil and spoil sampling reports and data pursuant to Section <br />2.05.4(2;)(d) and Tables 2.05.4(2)(d)-IA and 1B. <br />c. Irrigation. Report the date when water is turned on and which parcels were irrigated. <br />d. Grazing. Identify the parcels that were grazed. Report the number of animals grazing a given <br />parcel and the dates the parcel(s) were grazed. <br />86. Weed Management Plan - Rule 4.15.1(5). The plan contained in Section 2.05.4(2)(e), <br />Subsection 9.0 Weed and Pest Control Plan-All Areas, appears to be somewhat out of date, as <br />the weed control plan addresses only noxious species control. Rule 4.15.1(5) requires control of <br />noxious weeds, but also requires plans for control of other weed species that seriously threaten <br />the continued development of desired vegetation, or pose a risk of spread to nearby areas. <br />Please review the current plan to ensure that the noxious species list in the permit includes all <br />species that are currently listed as noxious by Montrose County, and other applicable weed <br />control districts or advisory boards or commissions. Further, please address other weed species <br />that may pose a serious risk to successful establishment or development of seeded species on <br />irrigated pasture, dryland pasture, and irrigated cropland on the permit area, and species which <br />may pose a :risk of spread that would negatively impact areas adjacent to the mine disturbance. <br />Control measures should not be limited to herbicide spraying as indicated in the current control <br />plan, but would include mechanical controls such as mowing and/or cultivation, in addition to <br />or as an alternative to spraying, depending on the particular weed species and management <br />considerations and objectives. <br />Please address the specifics of the weed control plan in Subsection 9.0 of the application, with <br />reference to the plan in other sections of the revegetation plan as appropriate. <br />David A.
