2.05.4(2)(e) <br />2.05.4(2)(e) Revegetation Plan <br />(i) Schedule of Revegetation <br />The schedule of revegetation for the majority of the disturbed areas is not <br />possible to predict. When the loadout is no longer an economically viable <br />operation, it will be reclaimed and revegetated. Permanent revegetation would <br />be conducted during the 3rd or 40 year following permanent cessation of <br />operations. <br />Topsoil stockpiles, cut slopes and other disturbed surfaces associated with the <br />loadout construction will be revegetated during the first available planting <br />season typically October 15th to November 15th. <br />(ii) Seed Mix <br />The revegetation objective is to establish on select disturbed land within the <br />loadout area a diverse, effective and permanent vegetative cover of similar <br />seasonal variety as that native to the area. The seeded vegetative cover will <br />be comprised of native species that are desirable and necessary to achieve <br />the approved postmining land use. <br />Two seed mixes will be used for the revegetation work, one for temporary soil <br />stabilization and one for final reclamation purposes. The first seed mix (SM -1) <br />will be a soil stabilization mix used for the interim reclamation of topsoil <br />stockpiles, cut and fill slopes and other disturbed surfaces associated with the <br />loadout and rail construction. The second seed mix (SM -2) will be a salt <br />tolerant greasewood seed mix for final reclamation. <br />The two seed mixes are located in Volume I, Exhibit 4. <br />Permit Application 2.05-33 07/11 <br />
