To establish quantity the length, height, and width will be measured to create cubic yards of material if <br />it is stockpiled. The quality of fines will not Be soil sampled to determine the quality of fines since the <br />amount of rock and little fines are present. At present, a healthy grass and shruB community are <br />growing on the fines from the 1.34 acres that was previously mined and reclaimed. <br />L. Any sorrface material/topsoil stockpiles will Be seeded if lett longer than one growing season. The <br />method of , eclamat;on will be ai per the attached pre -mine application recommendation supplies By <br />the DRIMS for the M-i9y4-'ucc pe. mit. (i he b -11-y4 Pre-operation Inspection Report): 2 -ton of straw <br />mulch/acre and weed control will be a3 nece3saryy. beedbed., will be ferm and clean tilled as possible <br />with the limitea rocky surface material available at the mite. Final Mope., in unconsolidated material <br />graded to no steeper tHan 2:1. Steeper slopes in competent bed, ock may be Steeper bot should blend - <br />in with the natural terrain ana must Be stable. All level areas and graded Aupe3 to be seeded and <br />vegetated. <br />3. Species recommended or reclamation are: (Rate sRoula Be aouBlea for broadcast seeding) <br />6 Acres <br />BlueBunch Wheatgrass 5.0 PLS per acre <br />Western Wheatgrass 2.9 PLS per acre <br />Crested Wheatgrass 2.0 PLS per acre <br />Indian Ricegrass 1.0 PLS per acre <br />.62 Acre Storage Site <br />Needle and Thread <br />5.5 PLS per acre <br />western wheatgrass <br />2.9 PLS per acre <br />6a.,in wildrye <br />1.0 PLS per acre <br />Indian Ricegrass <br />L.0 P[� per acre <br />A total of 10.9 PLS will Be required per acre of reclamation on the 8.14 using a dvill. (Rate �hoold be <br />douSled for Broadcast seeding) <br />Stockpiled storage area and access roads ripped and disced Betore seeding. No soil amendments or <br />fertilizer will be used on the reclamation areas. As we observe the amount of tines at the mine site there <br />will be adequate soil material to support plant growth. (Look at pictures of the site Behind the final <br />configuration for reclamation) <br />4. The seeding operation shall be hydro seedi, ig When puz..,ible (bot will more likely Be broadcast due to <br />steep rocky slopes) As stated above in L, 1 -ton straw crimped mulch/acre and weed control will Be <br />surface material available at tMe site. Final slopes in unconsolidated mate;al graded to no steeper <br />tHan 2:1. Steeper slopes in competent 6edrocR may Be steeper but should bleed with the natural <br />terrain and must be stable. All level areas and gradea slopes to Be seeded and vegetated. i he adjacent <br />.62 acres is used as a storage area. Blades will Blade the rock off tRe surface, gather and haul away. The <br />compacted area will Be ripped and disced and drilled. Recommended seeciBea preparation date is late <br />tall. <br />(a) i he fine., from the mine site will be moved no more than 150'. The volume is hard to estimate since we are <br />Working in ock Wall. 400-5000 yard., of material will be with a dozer. 40 hrs at $175/hr = $7000. Hydro <br />
