plants under the water pipeline that runs adjacent to CR 31. NWM treated the <br />knapweed occurrence under our pipeline. NWM also identified several more weeds in <br />the County ROW along CR31; information was relayed to Rio Blanco County for further <br />control action. Proper Pesticide Use Plan and Pesticide Application Reports were <br />obtained. <br />6.3.3 Reclamation Fencing <br />1A -4H1, 2A -2V, 2B -3C, 3A -4H, 4 -3H and 4A -6V sites were fenced to exclude grazing <br />use from livestock. Repair and maintenance was performed on some existing fences. <br />Fencing is utilized to keep livestock and wildlife out of the reclamation areas. <br />6.3.4 Precipitation <br />Precipitation gauges are located near the plugged and abandoned well 90 -5 (tipping <br />gauge) and near monitoring well EX -2 (V- gauge). Based on perennial vegetation, which is <br />an indicator of long -term precipitation, the "normal" precipitation for the NSI site is 12 -14 <br />inches for the calendar year. The distribution of precipitation is important for reclamation. <br />Table 8 provides a composite of precipitation from the two gauges at NSI mine site: <br />Daub & Associates, Inc. 18 NSI Annual Report 2012 <br />
