For flood irrigated areas - A standard marker will create furrows of approximately 4" to 6" depth on 30" <br />centers, which is standard for the gated pipe used for the flood irrigation. <br />7 - Fertilizer Application - Based on the results of fertility testing, fertilizer of the designated type will be <br />applied at the rate specified from the lab testing. Fertilizer applications may be delivered through the <br />irrigation system, by tractor with a broadcast spreader, or alternate method. The fertilizer will be applied <br />in the same year that the fertility testing is done. Ongoing fertility testing after initial seeding is described <br />in Section 2.05.4(2)(e) Revegetation. <br />13.2 Reclaimed Irrigated Pastureland Topsoil Preparation Procedures <br />Topsoil replacement operations may be carried out during most of the year, the exception being those <br />periods when wet conditions would preclude handling of the topsoil materials. <br />1A - Deep ripping of the subsurface - Upon successful completion of placing the subsoil as described in <br />the soil redistribution plan WFC will deep rip the subsoil to a minimum depth of 24 inches to alleviate the <br />compaction from heavy equipment traffic. The soil will be ripped during dry soil conditions. <br />1 B - Deep ripping of topsoil - Upon successful completion of placing topsoil on the ripped subsoil the newly <br />place soil will be ripped to a depth of at least 2 inches greater than the depth of topsoil. This will alleviate <br />compaction of the topsoil and assist in the removal of any boundaries between the ripped subsoil and <br />topsoil. <br />2 - Land leveling - WFC uses a blade pulled behind a farm tractor to level the topsoil surface and allow a <br />smoother surface for seeding. <br />3 -Rock picking - WFC will use mechanical devices that are pulled behind a tractor that windrows rocks <br />and then another device that picks up large rocks over approximately 2.5 inches in diameter. Rocks up to <br />approximately 24" diameter can be picked up by the device. Sandstone lenses that are identified in any <br />topsoil, subsoil, or Bench 1 Surface Spoil will be buried in lower Bench 1 overburden, at least eight feet <br />below the topsoil level. <br />4 - Fertility testing - Three soil samples will be obtained in the field to be tested. The field is defined as that <br />August 2013 (PR -08) 2.05.4(2)(d)-25 <br />
