minor changes or modifications are needed to the seeding and reclamation plan, revision plans <br />will be submitted to the Division. It is hoped that the Division will provide assistance in <br />evaluating the success of the ongoing reclamation process.

Weed Control <br />Measures will be employed for the control of any noxious weed species. The objective of this <br />weed management plan is to control undesirable plants on the Hayden Gravel Pit property. <br />Plants identified through the Colorado Noxious Weed Act (C.R.S. 35 -5.5) and the Routt County <br />Noxious Weed List as undesirable and designated for management within the county. These <br />plants identified as noxious weeds will be managed by control measures. A Weed Control Plan <br />will be utilized as follows: <br />1) Each April, a weed survey will be taken of the permit area. <br />2) If any patches or plants have been identified, they will be sprayed by backpack sprayer or <br />4- wheeler using chemicals approved for use by the weed control staff of Routt County. <br />3) After reclamation, weed surveys and spraying will continue until the perennial cover and <br />production of the site have met DRMS requirements and bond release has been obtained. <br />The Noxious Weeds booklet published by Routt County (see Appendix 4) will be utilized for <br />additional information on identification, plant - specific methods of control, and recommended <br />herbicides. This publication serves only as a reference guide. <br />The Division and Routt County Weed Program staff will be consulted regarding any weed <br />infestation areas and any control measures prior to their initiation. The plan does not contemplate <br />total weed removal on the property. Past experience has shown that some initial weed cover in <br />the first year following the retopsoiling is beneficial to the reclamation effort in rangeland site. <br />Hayden Gravel Pit, May 2013 E -5 <br />
