Tr ansit Mix Concrete Co. <br /> Seedbed preparation, timing of the seeding, and erosion control is vital to assure successful <br /> reclamation. The soil must provide moisture, nutrients, shelter and shade for plant <br /> establishment and growth (Brown & Hallwell, 1984). <br /> Seedbed conditioning provides important benefits for plant germination, establishment, and <br /> long-term vitality. Seedbed conditioning can loosen compacted soils, provide catchments to <br /> increase water available to plants and create microsites that shelter seeds and seedlings, and <br /> remove competing soils (Brown & Hallman, 1984). Prior to reseeding efforts, any compacted <br /> soils will be alleviated through scarification using specific necessary equipment in order to <br /> increase infiltration. <br /> As detailed in Exhibit I, soil sampling conducted within the pit indicates that topsoil has the <br /> nutrients necessary to provide adequate growth media material. As such, Transit Mix does not <br /> anticipate that soil amendments will be necessary during reclamation. However, as <br /> recommended by WHC, Transit Mix will test topsoil stockpiles prior to use to confirm that <br /> precipitation and interim vegetation have not depleted nutrients, and fertilizers and soil <br /> amendments will be added if necessary. Transit Mix does not anticipate using any fertilizers or <br /> soil amendments Forestry and wildlife habitat land uses do not require the repeated fertilizer <br /> applications that would be required by an agricultural land use (Vogel, 1987). <br /> Timing of seeding will be key to the success of the reclamation effort. Native grasses will be <br /> seeded and allowed to be established prior the tree planting. Seeding will occur at an <br /> appropriate time for successful germination, likely in early fall to promote over-winter <br /> germination of hardy cool-season native grasses. Tree planting will also occur in the late fall <br /> when soil moisture is optimal. <br /> Bare-root stock will be protected from exposure to sun, heat, and drying during shipment and <br /> delivery to the site (Vogel, 1987). Seedlings will be planted as soon as possible after delivery. If <br /> necessary, to keep stock several days before planting, bundles will be moistened and stored in <br /> a cool, shaded place (Vogel, 1987). Site preparation prior to tree planting will include clearing an <br /> area roughly 3 feet by 3 feet, and preparing a depression surrounded by an earthen berm. Prior <br /> to planting, bare root seedlings will be dipped in a mycorrhizal solution or inoculant. Tree <br /> seedlings will be planted in the center of the basin, and an anchored weed control fabric <br /> installed. A mesh tree guard will be placed around the seedling to reduce loss from foraging <br /> species. The planting of tree seedlings on the benches will not be supported by irrigation <br /> systems, and therefore planting will be followed by an initial watering to enhance success. <br /> One of the primary goals in successful reclamation is erosion control. Transit Mix will employ a <br /> variety of methods to reduce erosion and to promote successful revegetation. Gouging and <br /> minor undulations in the topography not only reduce erosion and but also provide some visual <br /> barriers for wildlife escape and increase interspersion and edge effect (Parish & Anderson, <br /> 1994). Gouging and micro undulations creates microbasins by using a backhoe or hydraulic <br /> Hitch Rack Ranch Quarry Permit Application <br /> March 9, 2018 E-12 <br />
