SSGM <br />www.sgm-inc.com <br />The seeding will be performed using hydro seeding, hand broad casting and drill seeding. All seeding <br />operations area to take place in the time frame between September 15 to April 15. <br />On the Reclamation Plan Update map, we have identified four separate areas of treatment that are to <br />be employed to this site to enhance potential success in revegetation in the areas deemed deficient <br />from our May survey of the site. These areas are noted as follows: <br />1. SR- Surface Roughening- to consist of raking, plowing, discing or micro -pocketing using hand <br />tools or by mechanical means based upon the area of question and accessibility, The purpose of <br />this will be to eliminate observed rills in the slopes identified, trap sediment, increase infiltration <br />and to aid in the establishment of vegetative cover. The surface roughening will be performed <br />to create horizontal ridges and depressions across the slope. Following the surface roughening, <br />an application of 18-46-00 fertilizer will be applied at a rate of 300 # per acre and subsequently <br />the slope will be hydro seeded at 48 #/acre with the Generic Seed Mix identified on the <br />Reclamation Plan Update for 2016 Map. Hydro mulching is to be provided with the hydro <br />seeding In these areas using 2,000 pounds per acre of wood fiber mulch and 75 pounds per acre <br />of Guar based tackifies. <br />2. HB- Hand Broadcasting- to consist of broadcasting the previously referenced Generic Seed Mix <br />at a rate of 48 #/acre using a hand spreader (This is double the rate for drill seeding). The areas <br />Identified for this treatment are areas that are almost deemed acceptable for release. Using <br />equipment to prep the intermittent bare soil areas will likely damage vegetation currently <br />deemed acceptable. Prior to hand broadcasting, hand raking those areas to receive hand <br />broadcasted seed shall be performed to break up the "crust" on the soil followed by an <br />application of 18-46-00 fertilizer to the bare soil areas at a rate of 300 #/acre. <br />3. TR- Terrace Repair- to consist of repair of the existing corrugations on the hillside along with <br />surface roughening of slopes into and out of the corrugations. The objective of the surface <br />roughening will be to remove the crust on the surface of the soils, and to provide more "micro - <br />pocketing" of slopes in anticipation of receiving hydro seeding. After terrace repair is complete <br />and surface roughening is complete, an application of 18-46-0 fertilizer at 300 #/acre shall be <br />performed prior to hydro seeding and hydro mulching at 48 #/acre with the Generic Seed Mix. <br />As with surface roughening, the hydro mulching is to be provided with the hydro seeding in <br />these areas using 2,000 pounds per acre of wood fiber mulch and 75 pounds per acre of Guar <br />based tackifier. <br />4. Drill seeding- to consist of drill seeding those areas that have not shown to be successful in <br />meeting the revegetation requirements. Drill seeding will be performed with the Generic Seed <br />Mix at 20/acre previously identified in those "bare" areas accessible by the drill seeder.
