1.0 Introduction
This Reclamation Plan (Plan) describes procedures necessary for reclamation of Ursa
Operating Company LLC's (Ursa) field wide resources located in Garfield County, Pitkin
County, and Mesa County, Colorado. Ursa began operating in the Rifle/Silt area on April
1, 2013. The resources include Battlement Mesa field, North Gravel Trend field, Gravel
Trend field, and Castle Springs field. The Roan resources are included in the North
Gravel Trend field and the Wolf Creek resource is included in the Castle Springs field.
Fields cover most of Township 7 South Ranges 91 and 95 West, Township 8 South
Range 90 West, Township 5 South Ranges 91-93 West, and Township 6 South Ranges
90-93 West.
This Plan will cover re -contouring, reseeding, noxious weed treatment, storm water
mitigation and monitoring of the well pads, Rights of Way (ROWs), and other
infrastructures required for natural gas operation. This plan is twofold: interim
reclamation of a site once a site has been constructed and final reclamation of the site
when the pad/ROW is no longer in operation and has been plugged and abandoned (P &
A).
The reclamation of disturbed land is a critical component when creating a system where
ecological functions and values are restored once the ground disturbance activities have
ceased. Rehabilitation of the disturbed area assists the natural ecological processes to
move towards a self -promoting condition. Once a self-supporting environment has been
established, the natural processes of the location can take over and continue the
rehabilitation processes with minimal intervention from outside parties. The costs
associated with the rehabilitation process will be minimized to the operator if proper
treatments are applied initially to ensure the best environment possible for rehabilitation
treatments to succeed.
Bonding is required for oil and gas lease operations (43 CFR 3104, 36 CFR 228 E). The
bond will cover the activities the operator performs including, but not limited to:
plugging leasehold wells, surface reclamation, and cleanup of abandoned operations.
The Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (COGCC) 1000 Series
Reclamation Regulations declare that "all disturbed areas affected by drilling or
subsequent operations, except areas reasonably needed for production operations or for
subsequent drilling operations to be commenced within 12 months, shall be reclaimed as
early and as nearly practical to their original conditions. This plan is designed to provide
guidance concerning reclamation activities for Ursa land managers once the site of
concern is no longer utilized for operations.
The area to be reclaimed shall be kept as weed free as practicable of all undesirable
noxious weed species. Weed control measures shall be conducted in compliance with the
Colorado Noxious Weed Act (C.R.S. 35-5.5-101.et.seq). Storm water mitigation will be
in compliance with the Colorado Department of Health and Environment (CDPHE)
Water Quality Division General Permit Series COR -030000 and COGCC 1002.f
regulations.
1
Procedures identified in this plan apply only to all Ursa Fields. All COGCC, CDPHE and
Bureau of Land Management (BLM) procedures (site specific Conditions Of Approval or
COAs) will be followed. Personnel working on this project should be familiar with the
reclamation plan and its contents prior to preliminary construction activities.
2
2.0 Site Characteristics
There are several communities located near the resource areas. Parachute, Battlement
Mesa, and Rulison, are located in or near the Battlement Mesa field, (Township 7 South
Range 95 West). Rifle, Silt, and New Castle, are located along the boundaries of the
North Gravel Trend and Gravel Trend fields. Glenwood Springs is located approximately
27 miles to the east (Township 6 South Range 89 West).
The resources range in elevation from 5,000- 9,500 feet and receive between 10-18
inches of precipitation per year. The frost free period ranges from 75 to 125 days,
creating a growing season of approximately two and a half to four months. Each location
has a site specific plan with details of soils, seed mix, and phase. Refer to Appendix C.
COAs will be included in Appendix C for all sites located on federal lands.
3
3.0 Reclamation
This plan covers: interim reclamation of a site once the site has been constructed and is in
production, and final reclamation of the site when the location is no longer in operation
and the well(s) have been plugged and abandoned (P & A). Interim reclamation and final
reclamation will be in compliance with CDPHE and COGCC regulations.
Construction and reclamation activities will be in accordance with the individual county
noxious weed management plan (please refer to the Ursa Noxious Weed Plan). Dust
suppression measures are required under the county grading permits and Federal land,
and will be implemented as applicable. Each stage will be applied to the reclamation of
the locations undergoing reclamation. Interim reclamation will be completed as stated in
the Field Wide Storm Water Management Plan(s).
All equipment used on reclamation projects will be cleaned and inspected prior to
entering location to ensure noxious weed seeds are not being transported onto the site.
3.1 Stage One (Removal and Disposal)
During reclamation of any site, once the pad/ROW/access road has been constructed, all
wooden stakes used to secure wattles and straw bales, and other waste associated with
construction of the site will be disposed of properly. This includes any trash left behind
on location such as pipe fittings, used lumber or miscellaneous items that have been
discarded. Petroleum products if on site should be contained in secondary containment.
Interim Reclamation:
• Pads — The initial footprint of the pad will be reduced, leaving enough room for
everyday operations to occur on site in a safe manner and will be in compliance
with COGCC 1003. All temporary storm water controls will be removed and
permanent BMPs will be installed. Disturbed areas will be drill or broadcast
seeded as applicable to the topography of the site. Seeding rate and mix will be
determined by land owner. Certified weed free straw will be utilized at 2 tons per
acre and crimped into place.
• Pipelines — Pipelines will be seeded with the site specific seed mix per land
owner requests. As applicable, certified weed free straw will be used as mulch at
2 tons per acre, and will be crimped into place. ROW will be monitored and
permanent storm water best management practices (BMPs) will be installed to
control erosion and sedimentation.
• Roads — The access roads to a site will be properly graveled and stabilized. The
cut and fill slopes of the access roads will be seeded and mulched as applicable to
the individual site.
Final Reclamation:
• Pads — Pads in final reclamation will be plugged and abandoned (P & A), all
temporary BMPs will be removed and replaced with permanent BMPs if
necessary, and the surface area will be recontoured and seeded. Drill or broadcast
4
seeding methods will be used at the appropriate rate and depth. Surface
roughening will be implemented to retain water and eliminate rilling.
• Pipelines — Pipelines will be considered finally stabilized upon reaching 70% pre -
disturbance vegetative cover, per the CDPHE general permit COR030000.
• Roads — All access roads in final reclamation will be graveled and considered
stable, with the sides of the roads are vegetated or stabilized. Closure of a road
will consist of recontouring to existing topography, seeding, mulching and in
some cases transplanting (using the trackhoe bucket) sagebrush and small trees on
the edge of the road.
During final reclamation of the site, when the pad is no longer in operation, all manmade
structures will be removed from the site by means of backhoe, bulldozer, skidsteer or
other appropriate heavy machinery. Structures may include, but are not limited to:
compressor engines, generators, steel structures, cement foundations and other equipment
used for the extraction of natural gas. Petroleum waste products if on site should be
contained in secondary containment and disposed of properly. Gravel, road base and
large cobbles installed on site for surface stabilization controls will be removed. Disposal
and/or reuse method of gravel will be left to the discretion of the operator.
3.2 Stage Two (Substrate Preparation)
In both phases of reclamation, the condition of the soil is very important for the
establishment of a healthy self-sustaining environment. Locations where the soil has
noticeable spills will have the contaminated soil removed or remediated, and disposed of
in accordance with County and COGCC waste management regulations (refer to Ursa
waste management plan).
In the phase of final reclamation when active operations have ceased the substrate void of
chemical presence, and gravel that was applied to the location during operations
removed, reclamation efforts will take place.
To alleviate soil compaction, the substrate will be cross ripped to a depth of 18 inches.
Cross ripping will take place when the soil moisture is below 35 percent of field capacity.
The cross ripping is specified by the COGCC under the 1000 Series Rules. The substrate
shall be contoured to emulate the surrounding lands topography. Pre -disturbance
photographs and visual extrapolations are to be used to create this contour. The soil used
to contour the landscape will be applied in accordance to the order it was removed (i.e.
first off, last on). This practice will ensure that the soil is applied to the appropriate
horizon from which it was taken initially. Salvaged topsoil will be distributed across the
entire disturbed area at a depth of six (6) to twelve (12) inches depending upon the
landowner use agreement if possible. Should there be a shortage of topsoil available on
site, the contractor will be responsible for replacement of lost or degraded topsoil with
topsoil imported from an approved and certified weed -free source.
5
3.3 Stage Three (Planting/Timing)
In both phases of reclamation, seedbed preparation will consist of scarifying, tilling or
harrowing seedbed to a depth of three (3) to four (4) inches post ripping. This will occur
just prior to seeding. Drill seeding will be performed at a depth of 0.5 inches, seed will be
covered with soil and lightly compacted to ensure good seed to soil contact. Seed will be
applied using a rangeland seed drill with a seed release and agitation mechanism
sufficient to allow seeds of various size and density to be planted at the proper seeding
depth. The seed mix for each reclamation project will be an approved Seed Mix
(Appendix B). Certified weed free straw will be applied at a rate 2,000 lbs/acre and
crimpled in place following drill seeding.
Ideally planting will occur in the fall, before the first snow of the season. Early October is
optimal. If possible, planting should occur in conjunction with a predicted precipitation
event. By positioning the seed below the snow fall or rain, the seed will receive good
contact with the soil and utilize the benefits of the precipitation. Spring planting can be
conducted after the frost line is gone from the soil. During both phases of final
reclamation, the seed mix associated with this site will be used.
6
4.0 Storm Water Mitigation
4.1 Best Management Practices (BMPs)
To avoid erosion of topsoil and seed transport from storm events, Best Management
Practices (BMPs) will be installed where applicable on the perimeter of any location
being reclaimed. Given the location of the site, surface roughening and pocking will
reduce storm water impact and capture and retain precipitation. This will aid in the
germination of the seed and increase seedling survival.
4.2 Reclamation Monitoring
Monitoring of the vegetative progress is vital to ensure that proper procedures were
implemented on the location. Monitoring will allow for early response to potential
problems encountered during the reclamation process. Identifying challenges to the
reclamation goals at an early stage will allow for adequate time to formulate a response to
the situation. By identifying potential complications early in the process, the future costs
associated with rehabilitation will be minimized for the operator.
If the treatments do not show the desired outcome, additional actions will be taken to
reach reclamation goals. After the source of the problem is identified, careful attention
will be paid to the timing of the supplemental treatment. If treatments such as seeding are
not carried out at the proper time, the treatment will not be effective and to the operator
will be increased rehabilitation costs.
Monitoring activities will examine several parameters including: the condition of
implemented BMPs, growth state and success rate of areas seeded, presence and location
of noxious weeds, and possible sources of failure for reclamation processes. Photo
documentation is required for all the above parameters for high-quality progress tracking.
After the initial reclamation amendments are applied, and CDPHE requirements of 70
percent pre -disturbance levels have been met as well as COGCC requirements of 80
percent vegetative cover, a tri -annual monitoring scheme will be implemented.
Monitoring activities will occur in the spring, summer and fall. Qualified individuals will
carry out visual surveys and transects on site. Monitoring will occur until COGCC
requirements of 80% desired vegetation has been reached.

Noxious Weed Management Plan
1. Introduction
The Colorado Noxious Weed Act (C.R.S. Title 35, Article 5.5) declares that certain undesirable
plants constitute a threat to the "continuous economic and environmental value of lands of the
state" and requires that these "noxious weeds" be managed on private and public lands. The Act
further declares that control of noxious weeds should use methods that are least damaging to the
environment but also practicable and economically reasonable. Ursa Operating Company, LLC
(Ursa) started operations in the Piceance on April 1, 2013 and will be responsible for management
of noxious and undesirable species identified on land leased associated with these assets. The local
government(s) management of noxious weeds for Ursa assets (known as Battlement Mesa), is
Garfield County which requires that land owners or persons or entities leasing the land within the
county manage noxious weed infestations on their respective land.
By implementing a Noxious Weed Management Program, adverse economic and environmental
impacts will be minimized for Ursa and surrounding stakeholders. Maintaining control of noxious
weed populations within Ursa assets is important to keep the cost of noxious weed abatement,
stormwater, and revegetation to a minimum. Since the three (3) elements are intertwined;
improvement in one (1) area will facilitate improvements in the other areas of concern. It is also
vital that the expansion of noxious weeds from Ursa assets to private land not associated with oil
and gas exploration is monitored closely to ensure weed abatement measures are effective. For the
most successful management of noxious weeds, regular communication between Ursa and
property owners with adjacent land should be developed.
This plan is intended to provide Ursa with a noxious weed management outline for the area of
concern — in this instance, the asset known as Battlement Mesa. The objectives of the plan include:
providing basic environmental information about the sites, locating and mapping of noxious weed
populations, outlining and evaluating possible treatment methods, and establishing preventative
measures to minimize noxious weed expansion. This plan will also provide an amendable
document for current and future Ursa land managers.
2. Site Characterization
Ursa assets covered under this plan are located in Garfield County in western Colorado (refer to
Figure 1 for a map and Appendix A for listed locations). The assets can be found using the Public
Land Survey System (PLSS) in Appendix A or by reviewing the map in Figure 1.
The vegetative communities that characterize these sites include: sagebrush, rubber Rabbitbrush,
snakeweed, Gambel oak, bunch grasses and pinyon juniper. This highland is characterized by
moderate moisture levels, moderate temperatures and a moderate growing season. Snow is
typically present on site from mid-November to late -March, with an average of 80-90 frost days
per year. The soil type varies across assets. For more information on soil type, refer to Appendix
B and Figure 2.
The potential treatment area with regards to noxious and undesirable species will include
appropriate and applicable pads, right of ways (ROWs) including access roads and pipeline ROWs,
topsoil stockpile if applicable, and land surrounding the Ursa assets that has been disturbed by
related Ursa activity.
Ursa Operating Company Battlement Mesa PUD
Noxious Weed Management Plan 1
3. Weeds of Concern
To meet the requirements of the Colorado Noxious Weed Act (ACT), the operator shall conduct
prescribed management techniques for noxious weeds control and prevention. Species warranting
prescribed management control and prevention are included within the Colorado Noxious Weed
Lists: List A — designated for statewide eradication; List B — managed to prevent further spread
and, for selected species, designated for eradication in large areas; and List C — of more localized
concern, but for which the State will provide education, research, and biological control assistance
to jurisdictions that choose to manage the species. The complete Colorado Noxious Weed List can
be found in Appendix C. In addition to the state wide weed list, individual counties have their
own noxious weed lists. The county lists are comprised of noxious weeds from the state list that
are more specific to the area of concern.
Garfield County has designated twenty (21) of the seventy four (74) species from the Colorado
Noxious Weed List to be likely species found in the vicinity of their jurisdiction. Appendix D
contains the Garfield County Weed List, and specific details can be acquired through the Garfield
County Noxious Weed Management Plan available online.
4. Weed Inventory
Noxious weed surveys are conducted on Ursa assets prior to any earth disturbing activities. Please
refer to Garfield County Impact Analysis for the BMC D well pad location for the weed survey.
Additional surveys will be conducted annually by qualified individuals to ensure noxious weed
treatments and noxious weed populations. Populations of noxious weed infestations will be
mapped by qualified individuals using global positioning units (GPS) units. The Noxious Weed
Inventory Form, Appendix F, can be used to provide supplemental survey information if the
surveyor deems it appropriate. The surveys will provide a way to identify new noxious weed
populations as well as an assessment tool for previously treated populations. The inventory is to
be updated as the surveys are performed. There will be an annual review to assess the overall
noxious weed populations and success of treatments applied.
5. Treatment Methods
The treatment methods and descriptions listed below were obtained from the Mesa County
Noxious Weed Management Plan (Mesa County, 2009). Management techniques include
preventative, cultural, physical/mechanical methods, biological and chemical approaches. Optimal
noxious weed management methods will vary with the environmental variables of the area of
interest. Soil type and stability, grade, moisture regimes, growing season, pre-existing noxious
weed populations, land use, water availability, weed type and stage of growth as well as the
intensity of the infestations should all be taken into account when preparing a noxious weed
management plan.
The management methods should have minimal impact on the environment and be economically
fitting for the Operator in charge of implementing the noxious weed management program. When
assessing weed management on a property, it is important to evaluate possible modes of
transportation for the noxious species. Areas to take into account include; waterways, roads, game
trails, areas with livestock and equipment storage sites to name a few possibilities. The
Ursa Operating Company Battlement Mesa PUD
Noxious Weed Management Plan 2
transportation of noxious species is a problem shared by all the stakeholders in the affected area.
Good communication should be established between the affected parties for proper management
of the noxious weed populations. Most management plans utilize a combination of the treatments
outlined below.
5.1 Preventative Methods
Preventative methods include practices involving good land stewardship. These practices
include, but are not limited to; using weed free certified products, erosion control
measures, and regularly cleaning equipment.
5.2 Cultural Methods
Cultural methods facilitate competition from desirable plants through actions such as;
dense seeding, irrigation, carefully monitored grazing practices and fertilization.
5.3 Physical and Mechanical Methods
Physical and mechanical methods include mowing, disking, hand removal, plowing,
burning and solarization. The goal of these methods is predominantly to prevent seed
production. Roots should be severed at least two (2) inches below the soils surface for
optimal control.
5.4 Biological Control Methods
Biological control methods involve the introduction of living organisms that are deleterious
to the noxious weed species. This method is only applicable for infestations larger than five
(5) acres in size, and rarely provides complete control of the noxious species. Frequent
monitoring must be carried out with this method.
5.5 Chemical Control
Chemical control can offer the most effective means of noxious weed control when applied
at the appropriate time. Not all herbicides are equally effective against all weeds, nor can
every herbicide be used in all settings. The respective herbicide applicator should consult
with a weed manual before applying any herbicide to the land.
6. Treatment Recommendations
6.1 Pad Surfaces
It is recommended that the area directly adjacent to structures be treated with a bare ground
herbicide. The bare ground treatment will be applied once a year or as needed to a ten (10)
foot perimeter around the structures located on Ursa developments. All other areas are to
be spot treated with an appropriate herbicide.
6.2 ROWs and Surrounding Lands
Ursa assets should be treated with a selective herbicide appropriate for the species where
the noxious weed is found. The appropriate chemical to be applied will be determined by
the licensed herbicide applicator. The specific herbicide applied will vary depending on the
landowner, time of year and the stage of growth the plant has obtained at the proposed
Ursa Operating Company Battlement Mesa PUD
Noxious Weed Management Plan 3
treatment date. The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) must be contacted prior to
treatment on Federal lands.
6.3 Special Requirements
At this point in time there are not any special requirements for Ursa assets or the associated
ROWs with regards to management of noxious weeds or other undesirable species. Any
and all special requirements will be amended to the document as soon as practicable.
7. Management Strategies
7.1 Prevention
Taking preventative measures to abate the spread of noxious weeds is critical for proper
land management. Noxious weeds can become established on or near disturbed land very
rapidly and have the capacity, capability and potential to spread quickly to other areas.
Noxious weed seeds and vegetative matter can be transported by means of animals,
vehicles, shoes, and hay to name a few examples of transportation. Operators should be
aware of established noxious weed populations and the possible transport mechanisms on
their property and surrounding properties.
7.2 Revegetation and Rehabilitation
After an area has been successfully eradicated of noxious species, or before establishment
has taken place, actions to revegetate the disturbed area should be taken to minimize the
chance of noxious weed establishment. If the disturbed land has desired species growing
as a result of revegetation efforts, competition with noxious species will be increased.
Therefore, the potential and capability of the noxious weed to establish in the disturbed
area is limited.
Noxious weed management strategies for Ursa will include a monitoring program. Surveys
will be carried out between the months of April and October. Noxious weed populations
will be monitored at this point through qualitative visual interpretation as well as mapping.
8. Conclusion
This noxious weed management plan provides an outline for the treatment and management of
noxious weeds. Please refer to Appendix G for the Noxious Weed Summary Documents which
provide contact information as well as general information pertaining to Ursa assets. An annual
report will be compiled to assess the overall management program.
Noxious weed control is critical to guarantee the environment is preserved for future generations
to enjoy and utilize. Adhering to this management guide will aid Ursa in managing noxious weeds
encountered during active involvement at developed sites.
These recommendations are not intended to be used as a definitive guide for noxious weed
management. Herbicide recommendations are available from both the state and local governments
and/or licensed applicators.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Project Description
At the request of Ursa Operating, Inc., WestWater Engineering has prepared an Integrated Vegetation and
Noxious Weed Management Plan for the proposed Battlement Mesa PUD Phase I Pipeline project. The
proposed pipeline would be located on private lands in Garfield County consisting of Sections 17 and 18,
Township 7 South, Range 95 West, Sixth Principal Meridian (Figure 1). The current primary uses of the
project area are private residential, agriculture, and wildlife habitat.
1.2 General Survey Information
Pedestrian surveys of the project area were conducted on October 20, 2014, which is after the active
growing season for most plants in the project area. Identification of plant species was aided by using
pertinent published field guides (Kershaw et al. 1998, Whitson et al. 2001, CWMA 2007, Weber and
Wittmann 2012). Noxious weed locations were recorded with the aid of handheld global positioning
system (GPS) receivers using NAD83 map datum, with all coordinate locations based on the Universal
Transverse Mercator (UTM) coordinate system in Zone 12. Mapped soil types, as published by the
Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), were
reviewed to determine the soil types and vegetation characteristics at the project site (NRCS 2014).
2.0 LANDSCAPE SETTING
2.1 Terrain
The terrain in the project area consists of moderately sloping foothills, which generally drain westward to
the Colorado River. Elevation of the project ranges from approximately 5,100 feet near the proposed
western terminus to 5,920 feet near Monument Gulch.
2.2 Vegetation
Vegetation communities in the project area have largely been altered from their native state. Small areas
of native vegetation that remain consist of sagebrush shrubland, mountain shrubland, and pinyon juniper
woodlands. In its current state, the project area is composed of mostly introduced pasture grasses, alfalfa,
and a multitude of exotic, weedy species.
3.0 NOXIOUS WEEDS
3.1 Introduction to Noxious Weeds
Most noxious weed species in Colorado were introduced, mostly from Eurasia, either unintentionally or
as ornamentals that established wild populations. These plants compete aggressively with native
vegetation and tend to spread quickly because the environmental factors that normally control them are
absent. Disturbed soils, altered native vegetation communities, and areas with increased soil moisture
often create prime conditions for weed infestations. The primary vectors that spread noxious weeds
include humans, animals, water, and wind.
The Colorado Noxious Weed Act (State of Colorado 2005) requires local governing bodies to develop
noxious weed management plans. Both the State of Colorado and Garfield County maintain a list of
plants that are considered to be noxious weeds. The State of Colorado noxious weed list segregates
noxious weed species based on priority for control:
1. List A species must be eradicated whenever detected.
2. List B species' spread should be halted; may be designated for eradication in some counties.
3. List C species are widespread and the State will assist local jurisdictions which choose to manage
those weeds.
WestWater Engineering Page 1 of 12 October 2014
The Garfield County Weed Advisory Board has compiled a list of 21 plants from the State list considered
to be noxious weeds within the county (Garfield County 2013) (Appendix A). The Garfield County Weed
Advisory Board has duties to:
1. Develop a noxious weed list;
2. Develop a weed management plan for designated noxious weeds; and,
3. Recommend to the Board of County Commissioners that identified landowners submit an
integrated weed management plan for their properties (Garfield County 2002).
3.2 Observations
The noxious weed survey encompassed a 30 meter area surrounding the proposed pipeline. Noxious
weeds were numerous and observations included Canada thistle, cheatgrass, chicory, common burdock,
common mullein, field bindweed, houndstongue, jointed goatgrass, musk thistle, quackgrass, redstem
filaree, Russian knapweed, Russian olive, tamarisk, spiny plumeless thistle, and whitetop. Cheatgrass
mapping was impractical due to the size of the infestation. Noxious weeds detected during the survey are
illustrated in Figure 1 and summarized in Appendix B.
In areas where soil disturbances have created growing conditions that favor non-native vegetation, several
unlisted nuisance weed species have become established. These plants can negate revegetation efforts and
cause financial losses due to decreased seeding success and associated costs of replanting. The presence
of these plants creates increased competition for resources and can negatively affect desirable native plant
species. Plants in this category include cocklebur, kochia, prickly lettuce, prostrate spurge, prostrate
vervain, Russian thistle, and tumble mustard.
3.3 Integrated Weed Management
Control of invasive species is a difficult task and requires intensive on-going control measures. Care must
be taken to avoid negatively impacting desirable plant communities and inviting infestation by other
pioneer invaders. Weed management is best achieved by employing varied methods over several growing
seasons to include inventory (surveys), direct treatments, prevention through best management practices,
monitoring of treatment efficacy, and subsequent detection efforts. Weed management is often limited to
control and prevention rather than eradication, but eradication can be possible in small to medium sized
infestations.
Assessment of the existence and extent of noxious weeds in an area is essential for the development of an
integrated weed management plan. This report provides an initial assessment of the occurrence of noxious
weeds for the project area. In order to continue effective management of noxious weeds, further inventory
and analysis is necessary to 1) determine the effectiveness of the past treatment strategies; 2) modify the
treatment plan, if necessary; and 3) detect new infestations early, which would result in more economical
and effective treatments.
3.4 Prevention of Noxious Weed Infestations
Weed management can be costly, and heavy infestations may exceed the economic threshold for practical
treatment. Prevention is an especially valuable and economical strategy for noxious weed management.
Several simple practices should be employed to prevent weed infestations. The following practices will
prevent infestation and thereby reduce costs associated with noxious weed control:
Prior to delivery to the site, all equipment and vehicles, including maintenance vehicles, should
be thoroughly cleaned of soils from previous sites which may be contaminated with noxious
weeds.
WestWater Engineering Page 2 of 12 October 2014
If working in sites with weed -seed contaminated soil, equipment should be cleaned of potentially
seed -bearing soils and vegetative debris at the infested area prior to moving to uncontaminated
terrain.
Avoid driving vehicles through areas where weed infestations exist.
Use of weed free materials such as mulch and seed.
3.5 Treatment and Control of Noxious Weed Infestations
The several landowners along the alignment are likely to have various preferences for weed control and
differing weed treatment strategies already in place; any control efforts should be coordinated with
individual property managers. The following general control methods for the weeds in the project area
are provided for reference (Table 1).

Type*
Control Methods
Canada thistle
Cirsium arvense
CIAR4
P
Prevent seed production; deplete energy reserves in roots.
Small infestations should be treated aggressively with
herbicides that translocate to the root system. In large
infestations, mow three times per growing season,
followed by herbicide treatment in the fall. Biological
control agents are available but ineffective in populations
less than 5 acres in size or in wet areas. Tillage is not
effective and will result in denser populations.
Cheatgrass
Bromus tectorum
BRTE
A
Prevent seed production. Apply herbicides in fall and spring
in large monocultures where there are few if any desirable
grasses. Till when plants are in the seedling stage followed by
seeding with native cool -season grasses. Avoid overgrazing.
Best management practices are most effective in preventing
and controlling infestations.
Chicory
Cichorium intybus
CIIN
B
Prevent seed production. Herbicide application or
mechanical removal when plants are in the rosette stage,
spring or summer. Sever root at least 2" below soil level.
Remove seed or flower heads from plants that have
bolted.
Common burdock
Arctium minus
ARMI

be drawn down to the roots more efficiently at this time due to translocation of nutrients to roots rather
than leaves. If the weed patch has been present for a long period of time another season of seed
production is not as important as getting the herbicide into the root system. Spraying in fall (after middle
August) will kill the following year's shoots, which are being formed on the roots at this time.

3.6 Recommended Treatment Strategies
The following treatment strategies are presented for reference. It is important to know whether the weed
species being managed is an annual, biennial, or perennial to select strategies that effectively control and
eliminate the target. Treatment strategies vary depending on plant type, which are summarized in Table 2.
Herbicides should not always be the first treatment of choice when other methods can be effectively
employed.
Table 2. Treatment Strategies for Noxious Weeds.
Annual and Biennial Noxious Weeds
Target: Prevent seed production
1. Hand grub (pull), hoe, till, cultivate in rosette stage and before flowering or seed maturity. If flowers or
seeds develop, cut and bag seed heads.
2. Cut roots with a spade 2"-3" below soil level.
3. Treat with herbicide in seedling, rosette or bolting stage, before flowering.
4. Mow biennials after bolting stage but before seed set. Mowing annuals will not prevent flowering but
can reduce total seed production.
Perennial Noxious Weeds
Target: Deplete nutrient reserves in root system, prevent seed production
1. Allow plants to expend as much energy from root system as possible. Do not treat when first emerging
in spring but allow growth to bud/bloom stage. If seeds develop cut and bag if possible.
2. Herbicide treatment at bud to bloom stage or in the fall (recommended after August 15 when natural
precipitation is present). In the fall plants draw nutrients into the roots for winter storage. Herbicides will
be drawn down to the roots more efficiently at this time due to translocation of nutrients to roots rather
than leaves. If the weed patch has been present for a long period of time another season of seed
production is not as important as getting the herbicide into the root system. Spraying in fall (after middle
August) will kill the following year's shoots, which are being formed on the roots at this time.
3. Mowing usually is not recommended because the plants will flower anyway, rather, seed production
should be reduced. Many studies have shown that mowing perennials and spraying the regrowth is not as
effective as spraying without mowing. Effect of mowing is species dependent therefore it is imperative to
know the species and its basic biology Timing of application must be done when biologically
appropriate, which is not necessarily convenient.
WestWater Engineering

October 2014
Table 2. Treatment Strategies for Noxious Weeds.
4. Tillage may or may not be effective or practical. Most perennial roots can sprout from pieces only 0.5
inch — 1.0 inch long. Clean machinery thoroughly before leaving the weed patch.
5. Hand pulling is generally not recommended for perennial species unless you know the plants are
seedlings and not established plants. Hand pulling can be effective on small patches but is very labor
intensive because it must be done repeatedly.
(Sirota 2004)
Some weeds, particularly annuals and biennials, can develop resistance to herbicides. The ability of these
plants to quickly develop immunity to herbicides, especially when they are used incorrectly, makes the
use of proper chemicals at the correct time and in the specified concentration (according to the product
label) imperative. Excessive application, either in frequency or concentration, can result in top kill
without significantly affecting the root system. Repeated excessive applications may result in resistant
phenotypes.
3.7 Noxious Weed Management — Best Management Practices
Construction: The following practices should be adopted for any construction project to reduce the costs
of noxious weed control and aid in prevention efforts:
Prior to delivery to the site, equipment should be cleaned of soils remaining from previous
construction sites which may be contaminated with noxious weeds.
Equipment and material handling should be done on established sites to reduce the area and
extent of soil compaction.
In all cases, temporary disturbance should be kept to an absolute minimum.
Top soil, where present, should be segregated from deeper soils and replaced as top soil on the
final grade, a process known as live topsoil handling.
If stored longer than one growing season, topsoil stockpiles should be seeded with non-invasive
sterile hybrid grasses.
Wetland vegetation, if encountered, should be live handled like sod, temporarily watered if
necessary, and placed over excavated sub -soil relative to the position from which the wetland sod
was removed.
Cut-off collars should be placed on all wetland and stream crossings to prevent back washing
(seed vector) and to ensure that soil moisture conditions are not impacted after construction so
that native plants can re-establish from the existing seed bank.
If working in weed infested sites, equipment should be cleaned of potentially seed -bearing soils
and vegetative debris prior to moving to uncontaminated terrain.
After construction, disturbed areas should be immediately reseeded with an appropriate seed mix.
Herbicides: Many of the listed noxious weed species in Colorado can be controlled with commercially
available herbicides. Annual and biennial weeds are best controlled at the pre -bud stage after germination
or in the spring of the second year. Selective herbicides are recommended to minimize damage to
desirable grass species.
It is important that applicators adhere to concentrations specified on herbicide containers. Herbicides
generally do not work better at higher concentrations. Herbicide failures are frequently related to high
concentrations that result in top kill before the active ingredient can be transported to the roots through
the nutrient translocation process. If directed on the herbicide label, a surfactant or other adjuvant should
be utilized.
WestWater Engineering Page 6 of 12 October 2014
Grazing: In the event grazing is allowed in the project area, it should be deferred in reclaimed areas until
revegetation of desirable species has been successfully established and seeded plants have had the
opportunity to reproduce.
Monitoring: Weed treatment areas should be inspected over time to ensure that control methods have
been effective to reduce and suppress the identified infestation. Sites should be monitored until the
infestations are eliminated. These inspections can then be used to prioritize future weed control efforts.
3.8 Commercial Applicator Recommendations
A certified commercial pesticide applicator licensed in rangeland and/or right-of-way/industrial weed
control (depending on site characteristics) is a necessary choice for herbicide control efforts. An
applicator has the full range of knowledge, skills, equipment, and experience desired when dealing with
tough noxious weeds. In addition, the purchase and use of restricted use herbicides requires a Colorado
pesticide applicator license.
4.0 REVEGETATION — RECLAMATION
The following recommendations provide project specific methods for reclamation of this site based on
soil types and vegetative communities present.
Topsoil Handling
Proper handling and storage of topsoil is critical to successful revegetation, especially in the case of
reestablishing important native plant species on disturbed areas. The topsoil contains soil microbes
(bacteria, micorrhiza, invertebrates) and viable seed banks of the native plants present on the site. Many
native plant species depend upon the activity of soil microbes for germination in some instances and for
establishment and survival of most seedlings.
Topsoil should be stripped and segregated from other soil horizons removed from the trench to prevent
mixing. Topsoil should also be salvaged from under the spoil storage area. The storage pile should be left
with table slopes and be positioned to minimize exposure to wind and water erosion and should include
breaks in the stockpiles at drainage crossings to allow drainage where flow is anticipated.
Topsoil piles stored for long periods of time should be seeded to provide cover to reduce erosion, provide
competition for weed species, and to maintain viability of the soil fungi and microbe communities.
Several fast germinating sterile cover crops ("Regreen" and "Quickguard") are commercially available
that should be used for short period storage of topsoil. Although not expected, topsoil stored for more
than one growing season the stockpile should be seeded with the recommended seed mixes as described
in Appendix C. Using the recommended seed mixes on long-term storage piles will help maintain
biological activity and provide a seed bank of viable seed. If long-term stockpiling or deep stockpiling
cannot be avoided, application of micorrhizal inoculants (see section below) may be beneficial.
The alignment should be returned to its natural grade and contour to blend the ROW into the surrounding
landscape and to reestablish natural drainage patterns. The stockpiled topsoil should be uniformly spread
after construction has been completed.
Soil Preparation
Compaction can reduce water infiltration and also hinder the penetration of the sprouting seed. Practices
that will reduce compaction and prepare the seedbed include: scarification, tillage, or harrowing
(Colorado Natural Areas Program et al. 1998). No special soil preparation techniques are anticipated to
be necessary as soil compaction should not be an issue along the pipeline alignment if typical topsoil
management practices for projects of this nature are employed.
WestWater Engineering Page 7 of 12 October 2014
Soil Amendments
Soil amendments for reclamation using fertilizer containing nitrogen can disproportionately benefit
undesirable annual plants (Perry et al. 2010). If the proponent determines the use of soil amendments to
be beneficial, the type and rate should be based on chemical analysis of soil samples near the site.
Application of 500 to 800 lbs/ac of Sustane 4-6-4 organic fertilizer, or a similar product, is a generic
starting point for soil amendments in this region.
A potentially beneficial alternative method to enhance reclamation success, particularly where there is
poor or destroyed topsoil, is the application of vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF). These
fungi, mostly of the genus Glomus, are symbiotic with about 80 percent of all vegetation. Endo-
mycorrhizal fungi are associated mostly with grasses and forbs and could be helpful in reclamation. In
symbiosis, the fungi can increase water and nutrient transfer capacity of the host root system (Barrow and
McCaslin 1995). Over-the-counter commercial products are available, and the best products should
contain more than one fungus species.
Seed Mixture
With proper topsoil handling the pipeline disturbance should revegetate well. The pipeline corridor will
affect multiple landowners with varying land management goals and seed mixes should be coordinated
with the landowners. The recommended seed mix provided in Appendix C is well suited for the project
area and consists of perennial native grasses and forbs that should establish well, protect topsoil, and
provide a basis for rehabilitation for the site upon reclamation.
Seeding Methods
Drill seeding would be the most appropriate and economical method for seeding the majority of the
project area. Hydroseeding or hand -broadcast seeding at twice the recommended drill seed rate is
recommended for areas where drill seeding is deemed to be ineffective, impractical, or dangerous.
Mulching
Crimped weed -free straw mulch would be the most cost effective and practical method of mulching areas
prone to erosion after drill seeding this site. No mulching is recommended for areas that are hydroseeded.
Potential detrimental effects of mulching include the introduction of weed species and the establishment
of non-native cereal grains. Use of a certified weed -free sterile wheat hybrid straw would limit these
effects.
BMPs
Excelsior wattles or straw bales at water discharge points would be appropriate to help control water
velocity flowing off the alignment during storm runoff. Terracing slopes near or exceeding 3:1 will
reduce erosion, benefitting topsoil and seed retention and thereby improving revegetation success.
5.0 WETLANDS and WATERS of the U.S.
Riparian areas and wetlands, although small in comparison to the remainder of the project, can require
special considerations for minimization and mitigation of impacts, as well as successful revegetation.
Such areas that could be affected by this project were documented during surveys (Figure 2; Appendix
D).
Aerial photographs and U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) 1:24,000 topographic maps were examined for
perennial, intermittent, or ephemeral streams, marked wetlands, and drainages (ACOE 2007). Mapped
wetlands and waters, along with other areas of interest, were verified during pedestrian surveys of the
project area and locations were recorded with hand held GPS units. All blue line streams were recorded
whether or not they exhibited an Ordinary High Water Mark (OHWM). Blue line channels with no
OHWM did not show signs of flow (i.e., defined channel, water marks, debris deposits, etc.); however,
WestWater Engineering Page 8 of 12 October 2014
these drainages are indicated as intermittent channels on the USGS topographic map and are considered
WOUS for pre jurisdictional determination purposes.
A pre -construction notification (PCN) is required for utility line activities crossing perennial waters
and/or a special aquatic site, including wetlands, in the Colorado River basin (ACOE 2012). Efforts
should be made to avoid or minimize impacts to perennial waters and wetlands. Boring (directional
utility installation) is a good method to avoid impacts. If direct impacts are necessary, precautions should
be taken to protect the integrity of perennial stream and associated riparian ecosystems within the project
area.
Best Management Practices (BMPs), including adequate barriers and filtration methods, should be used to
prevent soil erosion and sedimentation of perennial streams and riparian areas. The construction area of
disturbance should be minimized at all crossing to reduce the impacts to affected wetland environments.
Wetlands are characterized by hydric soils, which develop as a result of an area being saturated, flooded,
or ponded long enough during the growing season to develop anaerobic (oxygen -deficient) conditions
(USGS 2011). In wetland areas topsoil (the top 12 inches of soil) and wetland vegetation outside the
trench line and graded areas, should be removed and set aside from other soils until the pipeline trench is
backfilled and the pipeline crossing re-contoured. Wetland vegetation should be cut off at ground level,
leaving existing root systems intact, and the remaining sod should be removed from the wetlands and
placed in a separate stockpile from other soils.
The following protective measures should be used when crossing and/or working near wetland areas:
Wetland boundaries should be clearly marked in the field with highly visible flagging and signs
until construction and ground disturbing activities are completed.
Sediment barriers and BMPs should be installed across the entire construction ROW immediately
upslope of the wetland boundary at all wetland crossings to prevent sediment flow into the
wetland.
Where the construction ROW passes through wetlands, sediment barriers should be installed
along the edge of the construction ROW, as necessary, to contain spoil and sediment within the
construction ROW.
Equipment mats should be used under vehicles and construction equipment at all times while working in
wetland areas to minimize disturbance to wetland soils. Wetland vegetation should be stockpiled no
longer than 48 hours, if feasible. If wetland soils are stockpiled for longer than 48 hours the soils should
be kept wet until returned to wetland areas. Stockpiled wetland soils should be piled no deeper than 2 feet.
During wetland crossings, actively flowing water channels within wetlands should be flumed so as not to
be impeded.
Once the channel has been restored to its original contours and wetland soils are placed back (first out/last
in) then wetland vegetation should re-establish in areas identified as wetlands in Figure 2and Appendix D,
and no seeding is recommended in these areas.
