The seed mix is: western Wheatgrass 3 lb. P.L.S./Acre <br /> Side Oats Gramma 5 lb. P.L.S./Acre <br /> Blue Gramma .5 lb. P.L.S./Acre <br /> Sand Dropseed 015 lb. P.L.S./Acre <br /> + •i lb./acre yellow sweet clover <br /> The approved grass species and new addition are not difficult to establish and should <br /> therefore help ensure the Reclamation Plan goals of site stability, erosion control and the <br /> post mining land use are achieved. <br /> (iii) Soil amendments: <br /> No soil amendments are planned. However, as stated previously,the NRCS typically <br /> recommends 40 lbs. of nitrogen and phosphorous per acre. The need for soil <br /> amendments will be based on soil tests. <br /> If needed and available, well cured feedlot/barnyard manure would be applied at the rate <br /> of twenty tons per acre. <br /> (iv)Tree and shrubs planting: <br /> None are proposed as part of the reclamation plan. <br /> (v)Topsoil replacement depth: <br /> Topsoil will be replaced to an average depth of 4-6 inches, with some areas receiving <br /> more, some less. The mined areas in soils unit Sa will not have topsoil replaced. The <br /> under burden is a clay loam which should be adequate for reclamation. <br /> 43 <br />
