The Division will be excluding reclamation block WPO10 from the Phase II Bond Release due to <br />excessive cover of annual bromes and a lack of perennial cover within the annual bromes. Colowyo will <br />need to treat this reclamation block to reduce/eliminate the annual bromes and reseed. The area of WPO10 <br />is 5.7 acres. <br />2. The Division will be excluding the northeast portion of reclamation block EP041 from the Phase 11 Bond <br />Release due to excessive cover of annual bromes and a lack of perennial cover within the annual bromes. <br />For tracking purposes Colowyo may wish to withdraw the entire reclamation block from the Phase 11 <br />Bond Release. The area the Division has included in EP041 exclusion is approximately 6.1 acres. <br />3. The Division will be excluding the road to the Section 16 Pond from the Phase 1/11 Bond Release. The <br />road is being excluded due to erosion. Colowyo will need to repair this road. The area that will be <br />excluded for the road is approximately 0.2 acres. <br />4. There is a topsoil stockpile (15G) located within reclamation block EP015. This topsoil stockpile is <br />shown on Map 28 - Topsoil Handling. The topsoil from this stockpile is shown going to the Haul Road A <br />corridor upon final reclamation. The Division will be excluding this topsoil stockpile and a corridor for <br />access to the stockpile. The area that will be excluded for topsoil stockpile 15G and a haul corridor is <br />approximately 9.3 acres. <br />5. The Streeter Gulch Ditch and the Gulch A Ditch are both located within requested Phase 1/11/111 Bond <br />Release areas. Runoff from areas not included in the Phase FIFIII Bond Release areas still enter these <br />ditches and flow to the Streeter Pond and Gulch A Pond. These ditches will be excluded from Phase <br />MIMI Bond Release. <br />6. Reclamation block EP044 had a large amount of annual brome cover but there was perennial cover within <br />the annual bromes. Based on the field inspection, the Division will release EP044 (Phase 11 Release only) <br />Number of Partial Inspection this Fiscal Year: 3 <br />Number of Complete Inspections this Fiscal Year: 0 <br />Page 15 of 39
