the infested areas may be difficult due to the steepness of the slopes and due to past reclamation activities. Road E, the Overland Conveyor Corridor, part of the Coal Stockpiles Vicinity and a portion of the area infested by noxious weeds in the vicinity of the Sutey Refuse Disposal Facility have been reclaimed. Access to these areas will be need to be accomplished by all terrain vehicle, horseback or foot. Access by vehicles other than all terrain vehicle will not be permitted at any area which has been reclaimed. CONTRACTOR shall provide all equipment and labor necessary to accomplish application throughout the project area. PROJECT MANAGER will provide the chemicals to be applied. Sufficient quantities of Tordon, 2-4-D and Roundup will be provided to CONTRACTOR on the first day of the Project. CONTRACTOR will be responsible for properly securing chemicals until Project completion. Upon completion, CONTRACTOR shall return all unused quantities of chemicals in their original packaging to PROJECT MANAGER. Note that a clean water source may not be readily available at the mine site. Potable water may be available in Redstone. Treatment using conventional application methods, such as spraying from truck, all terrain vehicle or back pack mounted equipment is acceptable, given the limitations of access and reclaimed lands. Aerial application is not permissible without prior consent of PROJECT MANAGER in consultation with the Pitkin County Land Manager. Application shall NOT occur within forty eight (48) hours of predicted rain or snow fall. Application shall not occur if wind speeds at the application area exceed fifteen (15) miles per hour. CONTRACTOR must provide a wind speed measurement device, and maintain it in an operating condition throughout the duration of the Project. CONTRACTOR shall keep thorough and accurate records throughout the duration of the project. Records shall indicate material applied, dilution factor, application rate per acre, ambient air temperature (at 9:00 a.m., noon and 3:00 p.m.) and wind speed (at 9:00 a.m., noon, 3:00 and 5:00 p.m.). CONTRACTOR shall conform to all applicable environmental and safety standards given application methods, duration and products. CONTRACTOR shall not clean and dispose of unused or remnant materials in a manner which is deemed to be deleterious to environmental resources of the area. Failure to conform to such specifications shall result in immediate suspension of contract. Because the infested areas are adjacent to public use areas, CONTRACTOR shall post signs along the perimeter of treatment areas ten (10) days in advance of treatment. PROJECT 3
