the quality of the landowner's hay crop. <br />(6) Methods of weed control shall be employed for all prohibited noxious weed <br />species, and whenever invasion of a reclaimed area by other weed species seriously <br />threatens the continued development of the desired vegetation: <br />Noxious weeds are not a problem on this site; however, if noxious weeds do invade this site, a <br />weed control program will be implemented as soon as possible to stop the spread of the noxious <br />weeds. Puckett Land Co. will utilize the following mechanical and chemical methods to control <br />noxious weeds: <br />Field Mowing: <br />Prior to noxious weeds reaching full maturity (producing flowers /going to seed), the weeds shall <br />be mechanically mowed to a height of 4" to 6" where such activity will not pose a hazard to <br />equipment or equipment operators. This should be performed twice during the growing season in <br />late spring and late summer. Additional mowing will be performed as necessary. <br />Chemical Control: <br />One initial application of an appropriate selective herbicide shall be applied, per manufactures <br />recommendations, or by a certified applicator for control of noxious weeds. Application shall be <br />done during the growth stage and when temperatures and other conditions are appropriate to <br />achieve the most effective control. Follow -up applications will be done as needed. <br />(7) When necessary, fire lanes or access roads shall be constructed through the <br />area to be planted. <br />It will not be necessary to construct fire lanes. The access road used for mining operations will <br />be adequate for site reclamation. <br />(8) Planting required for reclamation may be delayed, through the period of use <br />related to places of refuse disposal, haulage roads and road cuts. Normal <br />stabilization of surfaces is required. <br />It is understood by Puckett Land Co. planting required for reclamation may be delayed, through <br />the period of use related to places of refuse disposal, haul roads and road cuts. All applicable <br />industry stabilization standards for such areas will be used. Puckett Land Co. is aware no <br />planting is required on these areas, as follows: <br />(a) on any affected land being used or proposed to be used by the <br />Operator for the deposit or disposal of refuse until after the cessation of <br />operations productive of such refuse; <br />(b) on lands proposed for future mining; <br />(c) within depressed haulage roads or final cuts while such roads or final <br />cuts are being used or made; <br />36 <br />
