This information presumes the affected area will be <br />reclaimed for rangeland and /or wildlife use. <br />1. Topsoil should be removed and stockpiled prior to gravel pit operation. <br />2. At reclaimation, after shaping and grading have taken place, the topsoil <br />should be uniformly applied over the site . Topsoil should be at least 6 <br />inches deer). <br />3. The site should be fertilized with at least 40 pounds of nitrogen and 4C <br />pounds of phosphate per acre. <br />4. Seedbed should be smooth and firm. <br />5. Grasses should be seeded from November 15 through April 30th the <br />following year. <br />6. Grasses seeding should be done with a grass drill, where possible <br />drilling should be done across slope. Drill grass 1/2 to 3/4 inch deep. For <br />seeding recommendation see enclosed CO -ECS -5 form. <br />7. Reclaimed area should be mulched according to the enclosed Standard and <br />Specification Mulching sheet.
