In addition are my concerns for TR 39. 1 reviewed Wyoming's Pinedale Anticline Project Area Monitoring for Reclamation Success <br />(http: / /www.wy.blm.gov /iio -papo /papo/ reclamation/ Monitoring4ReclamationSuccess .pdf) And it has times throughout the <br />reclamation process where hand watering or replanting are required. We are close to our 101h year of reclamation and neither of <br />these methods was recommended by the Division for supporting a diverse vegetation. We have fields of rabbit brush which were <br />not what was there earlier. <br />3.3. Monitoring schedule: <br />3.3.1. Year of reclamation: Operators will submit a Sundry Notice to the BLM and PAPO with updated information on actual site <br />preparation methods, seed mixes used, planting methods, time of planting, and any specific treatments to the pad. ROW will require <br />an updated plan of development/ reclamation plan that include information on actual site preparation methods, seed mixes used, <br />planting methods, time of planting, and any specific treatments. In addition, ROW will submit a plan of action detailing how they will <br />deal with shared and overlapping ROW, to the PAPO and BLM. <br />3.3.2. Starting in the third growing season post seeding, quantitative monitoring will be required annually for all well pads and ROWS <br />until the location meets interim reclamation standards as set forth in the FSEIS ROD, Appendix C. <br />3.3.3. In the fourth season post seeding, a baseline should be formed. If monitoring shows reclamation is not establishing, PAPO will <br />make recommendations for remedial actions. <br />3.3.4. In the fifth season post seeding, a trend meeting successful reclamation criteria should be seen. If quantitative monitoring <br />shows reclamation is not proceeding, PAPO will make recommendations for remedial actions. <br />3.3.5. In the eighth season post seeding, reclamation criteria outlined in the FSEIS ROD, Appendix C, should be met. If quantitative <br />monitoring shows reclamation does not meet reclamation criteria, PAPO will make recommendations for course of action. <br />3.3.6. Quantitative monitoring will be conducted annually on 20% of locations that have met interim reclamation criteria outlined in <br />FSEIS ROD, Appendix C. These locations will be monitored on an alternating schedule approved by the BLM and PAPO. This schedule <br />should be proposed in the Operator's Annual Monitoring Report. <br />3.3.7. Quantitative monitoring will continue until final reclamation for bond release has been met unless otherwise approved by the <br />BLM AO and PAPO. <br />In conclusion, we appreciate your helping us be the best stewards of our land that we can and make sure that the water at the <br />property and the surrounding properties are not negatively effected by the mine. <br />Sincerely, <br />Tena Gallagher, co- property owner through K2T LLC <br />
