portions of Irrigated Cropland have additional requirements. These additional requirements and <br />plans are discussed in permit Section 2.06.6, subsection 6.0. <br />5.2 Irrigation Designs <br />The irrigation systems to be used on the IC areas have been selected based on landowner <br />input and local husbandry practices. Given the Morgans' experience and expertise in farming in <br />the Nucla area, and on their property in particular, the irrigation designs are based on achieving <br />successful reclamation. <br />The post - mine fields and brief descriptions of the irrigation type can be seen on Map 2.05.4 -5, <br />while Attachment 2.05.4(2)(e) -7 contains the irrigation designs for all Irrigated Croplands. <br />5.3 Seeding of Irrigated Cropland <br />Several seed mixes may be used on the Irrigated Cropland at New Horizon Mine to achieve <br />successful reclamation. All of these seed mixes are described in this subsection. All seed mixes <br />will be planted following soil preparation. <br />5.3.1 Cover Crop Mix <br />This seed mix is used immediately after the final placement of the topsoil in the IC areas. It is <br />intended to provide fast revegetation to protect against erosion, and add organic matter to the <br />soil. WFC will use oats as the cover crop. <br />Species Common Name Seeding Rate <br />1. Oats (cover crop) 70 Ibs /acre <br />August 2013 PR -08 2.05.4(2)(e) - 39 <br />
