o Applicable Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, Water Quality Control Division requirements. o Utility location is required prior to any grading. Garfield County Vegetation
& Site Reclamation Reguirements Overview: Grading Permits typical require the submission of: o A Site Specific Inventory and Map of county and State Listed Noxious Weeds. o A Weed Management
Plan. o A Revegetation and Reclamation Plan. o A Cost Estimate o A Financial Security. The purpose of the plan is to ensure that the development does not result in: (i) erosion and dust
generation, (ii) the propagation of noxious weeds, (iii) the excessive loss of wildlife habitat and food sources, and (iv) long-term visual eyesores. The financial security allows the
County to perform reclamation in the case that the developer abandons the project or does not perform adequate reclamation. Reguired Elements of Vegetation and Reclamation Plan: Section
1 -Soil Handling. Includes: (i) provisions for salvaging on-site topsoil, (ii) a timetable for eliminating topsoil and/or aggregate piles, (iii) plan that provides for soil cover if
any disturbances or stockpiles sit exposed for a period of 90 days or more, and (iv) erosion control barriers and dust suppression measures. Section 2 -Weed Management Plan. Includes:
(i) a site specific weed inventory along with a site plan showing County Listed Noxious Weeds and Colorado Listed A & B Noxious Weeds (Contact Garfield County Vegetation Management for
updated list), (ii) weed management plan that addresses inventoried weeds in a timely and effective manner. (Note: Garfield County may require the submittal for treatment records.) Section
3 -Site Revegetation and Restoration. Includes: (i) plant material list (be specific, scientific and common names require), (ii) planting schedule (to include timing, methods, and provisions
for watering, if applicable), and (iii) a map of the area that will be certified as weed-free by the State of Colorado Department of Agriculture.) Section 4 -Cost Estimate. Cost estimate
is used to determine the amount of the financial security. Line items within the cost estimate include: (i) mobilization, (ii) earthmoving, (iii) seed and planting, (iv) weedfree mulch,
erosion control, and dust suppression, (v) irrigation, and (vi) weed management. (Note: For pipelines and projects in which existing grade is the same as final grade, a cost of $2,500/acre
can used to determine the financial security.) Financial Security; Bonds, letter of Credit valid for a minimum of 2 years or cash. County Inspection and Release of Financial Security:
When grading has been completed and vegetation reestablished, the developer (permit holder) phones County Vegetation Manager (970·625-8601) and requests an inspection. If restoration
is determined to be adequate, the county will inform the development and release the financial security. (Applicant's Copy)
