Table E -1 shows the grass species recommended by the United States Department of
Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service to be used to reseed the gravel pit
site and to provide temporary cover on the stock piled topsoil. Native shrubs are expected
to invade the site in relatively short time after the pit closure.

3. Post - Reclamation Site Drainage
The drainage will primarily have the same direction as the pre mining, which is primarily
in a northerly direction.
4. Weed Control
Proper and adequate weed control measures will be necessary the first two years, to
ensure the establishment of a sufficient stand of grass and prevent the invasion of weeds,
especially noxious weeds. If weed competition is reduced the opportunity for grass
establishment is increased significantly. Appropriate herbicides should be applied the
first growing season during the early spring and summer to control weeds if present. The
herbicide label should be followed. The site should have all livestock excluded for a
minimum of one and preferably two growing seasons after planting to allow the best
opportunity for the seeded species to become established.
5. Revezetation Success Criteria
The area will be deemed adequate when the vegetation has bee established in order to
control erosion and noxious weeds are not present in any significant amounts and all of
the conditions of Rule 3.1.10 of the Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety
Construction Materials Rules have been met as determined by the Division of
Reclamation and Safety.
