Please see attached modified Technical Revision 1 Map "Exhibit C -2 Mining Plan Map" showing <br />areas of proposed current weed control. Locations and extent are approximate and will be field <br />verified during the application procedures. <br />CORRECTIVE ACTION 2: Topsoil stockpiles located on the permit area do not have proper established <br />vegetative cover to preclude erosion and to protect them from weed infestation. <br />RESPONSE TO VEGETATIVE COVER FOR TOPSOIL STOCKPILES: ASCI proposes to re -work the <br />topsoil piles on the permit area with heavy equipment to gain access for equipment to vegetate <br />the slopes, "smooth -out" the surface areas, and plow -under the dead weeds that currently exist <br />on the piles which will expose more of the soil for seed germination and success. This activity <br />would be accomplished in winter 2011 -2012. Following re- working of the topsoil stockpiles, <br />ASCI proposes to hydroseed /hydromulch the stockpiles with a rapid - growing temporary <br />vegetative cover. <br />The only seed mix specified in the approved permit is for final reclamation. The proposed seed <br />mix for the temporary vegetative cover on the stockpiles will consist of <br />• 15 PLS oats <br />• 5 PLS annual rye <br />• 3 PLS crested wheatgrass <br />• 2 PLS hard fescue <br />= 25 PLS per acre (PLS- pounds live seed): <br />There will be minimum of approximately 3 acres and a maximum of approximately 4.5 acres to <br />seed. Seeding will occur in early to mid -March 2012 in order to receive some late spring <br />moisture in the form of snow in March and April for successful seed germination and <br />establishment. The seed mix will be contained in a hydromulch slurry consisting of 100% wood <br />mulch at 2,000 lbs. /acre and 150 lbs. /acre of tackifier. Water will be obtained from the onsite <br />water - filled gravel pit. A copy of the paid invoice for this work will be provided to the DRMS <br />upon completion of the work. <br />Please see attached modified Technical Revision 1 Map "Exhibit C -2 Mining Plan Map" showing <br />areas of proposed revegatation. Locations and extent are approximate and will be field verified <br />during the seeding procedure. <br />
