rate of 2000#/acre; weed control will be as necessary. Recommended seedbed <br />preparation date is June 15 - July 15 recommended for seeding. Dormant seeding <br />recommendations are from October 1 to April 30. Early October, just prior to the <br />first hard freeze is recommended as the most appropriate time for dormant <br />seeding. Seeding of stockpiled topsoil for stabilization will be broadcast and <br />raked by hand using the same recommended seed mix as above at. Any other . <br />areas requiring broadcast seed application will be done at twice the recommended <br />drill application rate. <br />(e) Plan or schedule indicating how and when reclamation will take place <br />(i) <br />An estimate of the periods of time which will be required for the <br />various stages or phases of reclamation. <br />All slope reclamation will be concurrent with surface re -grade and seed <br />application scheduled as soon as possible. <br />(ii) A description of the size and location of each area to be reclaimed <br />during each phase. <br />Concurrent reclamation will occur during all years of activity at the site for <br />disturbed slope areas. The operations and stockpiling area at the gate and some <br />remnant pond edges will be the final reclamation area at the site. With the <br />concurrent reclamation at the site, the final site reclamation will be located in <br />the gate/final edge area and will be an area of 4.0 acres or less. Generally, by <br />that date, all cover and topsoil will have been replaced and seeded and a less than <br />3:1 slope established in all disturbed areas. <br />(iii) An outline of the sequence in which each stage or phase of reclamation <br />will be carried out. <br />(1) Topsoil stockpile stabilization (broadcast seeding) will occur on topsoil <br />stockpiles left longer than one growing season. <br />(2) After completion of all mining activities at the site the area will be graded. <br />The grading will generally match the surrounding topography (flat <br />pasture) <br />(3) Topsoil will be placed at a minimum of 8 inches or more if extra soil is <br />available across all disturbed areas and seedbeds prepared, and the areas <br />seeded and mulched/crimped. <br />WestWater Engineering APPENDIX C - 20 July 2012 <br />
