2) Drilling fluids in mud pits will be allowed to dry, or they may be pumped from the mud <br />pit for off -site disposal. Mud pits or excavated trenches will be backfilled with the <br />excavated material and compacted to minimize any settling. Any excess drill cuttings <br />will be spread over the drill pad, and the drill pads regraded to approximate their original <br />configuration and blend with the adjacent terrain. <br />3) Stockpiled or windrowed "A" and `B" horizon material will be redistributed at a uniform <br />thickness over disturbed areas. <br />4) Disturbed areas will be reseeded to stabilize the surface and control erosion using a seed <br />mixture developed in consultation with the surface landowner and CPW. Replaced "A" <br />and `B" horizon material will be scarified prior to seeding, and areas will be drill or <br />broadcast seeded at the prescribed rates. A harrow or similar implement will be used to <br />drag the surface and cover the seed following seeding. <br />Two seed mixtures have been developed for reseeding surface lands disturbed by the 2012 <br />Exploration Program: 1) a dryland pasture mixture for agricultural lands cropped as pastureland; <br />and, 2) a rangeland mixture. <br />Dryland pasture mixture: <br />Species <br />Thickspike wheatgrass (Critana) <br />Mountain brome (Bromar) <br />Western wheatgrass (Arriba) <br />Slender wheatgrass (San Luis) <br />Bluebunch wheatgrass (Secar) <br />Orchardgrass (Paiute) <br />Green needlegrass (Lodorm) <br />Total PLS <br />Rangeland mixture: <br />Species <br />Thickspike wheatgrass (Critana) <br />Mountain brome (Bromar) <br />Western wheatgrass (Arriba) <br />Slender wheatgrass (San Luis) <br />Bluebunch wheatgrass (Secar) <br />Basin wildrye (Trailhead) <br />Orchardgrass (Paiute) <br />Green needlegrass (Lodorm) <br />Canada bluegrass (Ruebens) <br />Sheep fescue (Covar) <br />Big bluegrass (Sherman) <br />Alfalfa (Falcata) <br />Rocky Mtn. penstemon (Bandera) <br />Palmer penstemon (Ceder) <br />PLS lbs /acre <br />1.0 <br />3.0 <br />2.0 <br />2.0 <br />1.0 <br />2.0 <br />1.0 <br />12.0 (double for broadcast seeding) <br />PLS lbs /acre <br />1.0 <br />2.0 <br />2.0 <br />2.0 <br />1.0 <br />2.0 <br />0.25 <br />2.0 <br />0.10 <br />0.25 <br />0.25 <br />0.10 <br />0.25 <br />0.10 <br />Peabody Sage Creek Project 10 April 2012 <br />
