reclaimed areas. A combination of methods and practices will be employed by GCC <br />to control the introduction of weed species and their regeneration within the project <br />area. <br />GCC will control introduction of weeds into disturbed and reclaimed areas by the <br />following methods: <br />1) A periodic weed inventory will be conducted for the project area. <br />Prior to disturbance construction sites will be inventoried again for weed <br />infestations. All weed infestations identified through these surveys will be <br />recorded and mapped; <br />2) Noxious and pest weed infestations will be controlled within and <br />immediately adjacent to the construction areas prior to disturbance by <br />acceptable mechanical or chemical methods. These methods are further <br />discussed in Section 1.3; <br />3) A thorough cleaning of equipment will be conducted before entering <br />the project area to prevent the introduction of seed and plant propagules <br />from other construction sites both on and off -site. Once a thoroughfare has <br />been cleared, no further cleaning will be necessary for equipment entering <br />and leaving the construction area; <br />4) Seed mixtures used for reclamation or temporary site stabilization will <br />be free of noxious weeds. Seed tags will be kept on file and available for <br />inspection by regulatory personnel; and <br />5) Native hay and /or straw used for mulch or other purposes will be <br />certified weed free. Certification tags will be kept on file and available for <br />inspection by regulatory personnel. <br />GCC Red Rocks Mine 4 03/03/03 <br />
