Transit Mix Concrete Co. <br /> of eighteen inches. These basins should be 1 1/2 to 2 feet deep and have the width of the bucket. <br /> The gouges will be placed in the subsoil on fill slopes prior to placing topsoil, primarily the F1, F2, <br /> and F3 locations, and gouges will be placed on approximately 99.5 acres. Highwall slopes and <br /> benches will not contain these features. The edges of these features shall be sloped to allow <br /> egress by wildlife. The most common construction method is to dig a bucket load of soil and then <br /> drop it two to three feet above the soil surface. The process is repeated in a random and <br /> overlapping pattern, making it impossible for water to flow down slope (Baker, et.al). During <br /> subsoil placement, gouges and minor undulations will be created to reduce erosion on slopes. <br /> All slopes will be graded at 3H:1 V or less, and mulching will be used to increase soil moisture, <br /> prevent erosion, moderate soil temperature, and increase seedling establishment (Brown & <br /> Hallwell, 1984). Mulching also protects the soil surface from wind and water erosion.The selection <br /> of mulching materials used during reclamation efforts will depend on availability.An organic mulch <br /> will be applied which may include straw, hay, wood fiber, organic debris (slash), or wood chips. <br /> These mulches are preferred because they have proven to be effective and compatible with the <br /> environment (Baker, et al.). The newly seeded areas will be covered with mulch placed using a <br /> bale blower at a rate of at least 2 tons per acre, and the mulch will be secured using crimping or <br /> tackifier (UDFCD, 2016). <br /> Reclaimed areas will be monitored for successful establishment of vegetation and the <br /> development of erosion features and weed encroachment. Weed control shall be employed for <br /> all prohibited noxious weed species. The project Noxious Weed Management Plan is attached <br /> to this exhibit. <br /> As explained above, Transit Mix has taken a number of measures to ensure that vegetation during <br /> reclamation efforts is properly protected and that its plan encourages diversity and rehabilitation <br /> of wildlife habitat at the site. <br /> Table E-6 Temporary Seed Mix <br /> Species' PLS2 <br /> lbs./ac <br /> Sheep Fescue 0.8 <br /> Western Wheatgrass 1.2 <br /> Canada Bluegrass 0.6 <br /> Perennial Rye 1.0 <br /> Chewings Fescue 0.4 <br /> TOTAL 4.0 <br /> ' Availability may dictate the need for variety substitution or species omission. <br /> 2 Percent of mix calculated on a seeds-per square-foot basis. <br /> Hitch Rack Ranch Quarry Permit Application <br /> March 20, 2018 E-13 <br />
