The Climax seed mixture and an initial fertilizer will <br /> be applied over Area 5 and followed by a hydr.omulch application. <br /> Trees and shrubs will be planted over the area during the second <br /> year . Maintenance operations are not expected to exceed five <br /> years , except possibly on rock fill areas . <br /> That portion of the Arkansas River buried in a culvert <br /> at the Storke Area will be returned to an open river channel of <br /> length and grade equivalent to the original channel of the river <br /> before it was buried. Rock-filled materials will remain in place <br /> around the new channel but with slopes laid back to a 3 :1 ratio. <br /> Stream habitat reclamation will occur with consultation from <br /> Division of Wildlife in this area of the Arkansas River . <br /> The Arkansas Reservoir will likely remain intact in the <br /> upper Arkansas following mine cessation. Reclamation activities <br /> will directly follow construction of the reservoir. . Salvaged <br /> topsoil will be reapplied to surface disturbances associated with <br /> the construction, including service road and pipelines , to enhance <br /> reclamation. Revegetation will occur with an alpine or Climax <br /> seed mixture along with shrubs, an initial fertilizer and <br /> hydr.omulch. Erosion control netting or matting will be used if <br /> deemed necessary. <br /> 10 . 16 MCNULTY WASTE ROCK DUMP AND HAUL ROADS (6 ) <br /> To hasten the reclamation efforts of McNulty Waste Rock <br /> Dump Area ( 6 ) , dumping during the early years of Phase III will be <br /> concentrated at the lower end of the dump. The lower portion will <br /> partially screeen the upper portions from Colorado Highway 91 <br /> running nearby, and any completed revegetation work should help to <br /> minimize visual impact of the total area. The remaining portions <br /> of the dump will be reclaimed during selected periods of the dump <br /> r <br /> buildup and final reclamation will occur during Phase IV. Acreage <br /> to be reclaimed is approximately 443 acres. <br /> The dump is designed in 100-foot lifts each with a bank <br /> width of approximately 100 feet and a slope approaching 1 . 3 :1 <br /> ( angle of repose) , while the overall dump slope generally will be <br /> 3 :1 at the lower end and 2. 5 : 1 elsewhere on the dump.
