Revegetated Land Fertilizer Rates and Pasture Yields <br /> Fertilizer was applied once or twice a year. The first application was during the spring and the <br /> second (if needed) was after the first cutting. Application rates varied from none to 400#/acre <br /> (Exhibit 2000-9). First cut yields varied from 2,556 lb/acre to 4,243 lb/acre (Exhibit 2000-11), <br /> depending on the amount of fertilizer used and whether or not the land was irrigated. <br /> Weed and Pest Control Activities <br /> Weed control was carried out in the summer and fall months of 2000. Target species included <br /> Russian Knapweed, Canada Thistle, Sun Flower, White Top, Purple Loosestrife and Field <br /> Bindweed. Spot spraying was done at NH2, see Exhibit 2000-5. The treated sites were small <br /> and random and are too small to accurately plot on a map, although the general area is depicted. <br /> There was no Pest Control measures implemented in 2000 because there was no need at this <br /> time. <br /> Acres in Long-Term Mining or Reclamation Facilities <br /> As shown in Exhibit 2000-12, currently 36.32 acres are held in long-term mining or reclamation <br /> facilities. <br /> • Acres in Active Mining Areas <br /> As Exhibit 2000-12 indicates, the 2000 active mine area disturbance was 115.75 acres. <br /> Acres Seeded/Planted for the Last 10 Years or more <br /> The total number of acres seeded or planted and not released from bond within the NH and NH2 <br /> permit areas is 400.37. <br /> (d:\data\wpdata\rec-repo\200orecrepo.doc) 3 <br />
