Task 1 Continued <br /> (13) Finish capping the entire graded area at the Storke Yard with existing "growth media" (topsoil <br /> pile at Arkansas River Ponds, 5000 cu yds; old Storke Crusher growth media pile, 2000 cu yds; and <br /> Agrgregate Piles, 5000 cu yds) and smoothing out the surface to prepare for revegetation. <br /> (14) Removal of approximately 5 cu yds of "reddish" material and improvement of (build up) <br /> railroad berm near the trail across Colorado Southern RR fill leading to John Reed Mine. <br /> Task 2. Revegetation of Storke Yard <br /> Upon completion of the grading, erosion control, drainage, and capping effort described in Task 1, <br /> revegetation work will commence. Revegetation will consist of the following: <br /> (1) On slopes less than 3H to IV, the growth media will be disked or ripped (depth=9-12 inches)to <br /> prepare a seedbed. All disking or ripping will be"on the contour"to prevent erosion. <br /> (2) Fertilizing will be done with a conventional farm spreader wagon and the fertilizer will consist <br /> of 400 lbs/acre 16N-16P-16K-20S or equivalent. After fertilizer application, a light (4-inch) <br /> disking to incorporate the fertilizer into the seedbed will be conducted. <br /> (3) Seeding will be performed with a rangeland drill or equivalent on flatter slopes (<3H to 1V) <br /> and a hydroseeder on slopes greater than 3H to IV. Seed mixes are given in Task 10. For slopes to <br /> be hydroseeded a two-application approach will be used. The first pass will include the seed mix <br /> and 500 lbs/acre hydromulch; the second pass will contain the fertilizer mix and 1500 lbs/acre <br /> hydromulch. <br /> (4) Existing piles of wood debris will be chipped and spread as mulch. Approximately 2000 yds3 <br /> of wood debris exists on site. <br /> (5) With the exception of hydroseeded/hydromulched areas, straw mulch at 1.5 T/Ac will be <br /> applied and crimped on all previously seeded areas, except those areas mulched with wood chips. <br /> (6) On selected sites at the Storke Yard 1000 shrubby cinquefoil will be planted as directed by the <br /> Climax Environmental Coordinator. The cinquefoil plants are small (<1 foot tall) and will require <br /> hand planting. <br />
