GCC Rio Grande, Inc. -Red Rock Mine <br />Drought Management Plan <br />Implementation will combine harvesting and conservation measures described in the <br />revegetation drought plan and the Red Rock Mine Permit to promote soil stability and <br />establishment of permanent vegetation on mined areas. <br />In the long -term, the best way to minimize drought impacts and control wind erosion is by <br />maintaining a diverse plant cover. Soil wind erosion potentials increase during drought periods <br />and represent a primary threat to successful revegetation. Therefore, revegetation drought plan <br />objectives focus on: <br />• Reducing wind erosion; <br />• Promoting soil moisture harvesting and retention; <br />• Reducing soil erosion associated with storm water runoff; and <br />• Providing suitable soil growth mediums capable of promoting seedling germination, <br />establishment and growth. <br />Methods and practices designed to accomplish these goals are the core of the Red Rock Mine <br />revegetation plan and revegetation drought plan. <br />Habitat Management, Inc. 11 03/03/2003 <br />
