For example, before seeding, a pH treatment utilizing an amount of hydrated lime <br /> could be broadcast on any areas previously impacted by the waste rock. The intent <br /> would be to neutralize potentially acid forming material left in the soil. <br /> Alternatively, the site could be left for several years to allow the now exposed <br /> surface soils to leach. The exposed soils would then be analyzed to determine what <br /> amendment, if any, should be applied and in what amounts. <br /> Once the buried soils are exposed and the area ready for reclamation, we will <br /> consult with the DRMS and others to determine the best course of action to begin <br /> site reclamation. If necessary, a revision will be submitted to the DRMS <br /> (ii) state at what point in the mining plan the site will be seeded. Explain how <br /> the seedbed will be prepared to eliminate compacted conditions (e.g.,plowed, <br /> chiseled, disked). State the type, application rate, and soil incorporation methods <br /> of fertilizer application, if any. NOTE. Soil amendments shall only be applied <br /> where soil tests indicate nutrient deficiencies for the plant species to be <br /> established; <br /> As stated above,the best course of action may be to simply employ SWMP devices <br /> to protect the site from erosion and allow the site to site for several years. This will <br /> allow the site to equilibrate with the environment. We would also employ our <br /> Noxious Weed Management Plan during this period. <br /> If the site is showing acceptable native species establishment, we may propose <br /> waiting another two or three years and then make a determination to seed the site. <br /> If it is advantageous at any point in the site evaluation period presented above, we <br /> will seed with the seed mix which is included below. <br /> (iii) state the grass,forb,shrub and tree species to be planted and the <br /> applicable quantities. Specify the quantity of each grass and forb species <br /> as pounds of pure live seed per acre, <br /> A grass seed mix and application rate has been developed specifically for this site: <br /> Variety Species PLS/Acre <br /> Redondo Arizona Fescue 2.0 PLS pounds/acre <br /> Red Fescue 1.0 PLS pounds/acre <br /> Canbar Canby Bluegrass 1.5 PLS pounds/acre <br /> Critana Thickspike Wheatgrass 3.0 PLS pounds/acre <br /> 40 <br />
