f 6. Only suitable quality soil for vegetive growth will be stockpiled and used in reclamation <br /> and will include the top existing surface horizon(s). <br /> 7. Topsoil will be replaced as evenly as practical. Soil testing will be preformed as needed <br /> on disturbed and undisturbed areas of the affected land. If necessary, slow releasing <br /> I fertilizer, such as "Bisol", will be applied to topsoil after placement at the following rate: <br /> 10 lbs per acre Nitrogen <br /> 40 lbs per acre Phosphate <br /> REVEGETATION: <br /> 1. Revegetation will include establishment of self-sustaining vegetive cover at least equal in <br /> extent of the cover and natural vegetation in general of the surrounding area. <br /> 2. The final reclamation will have small groupings of trees transplanted from later phases of <br /> mining <br /> 3. Final slops will not be too steep to be traversed by livestock or wildlife. <br /> 4. Environmental factors such as seasonal patterns of precipitation, temperature and wind, <br /> soil texture and fertility, slope stability, and direction of slope face a.re considered in <br /> selection of vegetation species in regarding configuration design. There will be no grazing <br /> allowed. <br /> i <br /> 5. To insure adequate establishment of diverse and long lasting vegetation cover, site <br /> j preparation will include discing, application of soil amendments and fertilizers as needed, <br /> l drilling and broadcasting or hydro seeding on slopes (3:1) or less and mulching with straw <br /> or hay at 2 tons per acre. <br /> 6. Weed control will be employed if invasion of a weed species seriously threatens the <br /> continued development of desired vegetation in the reclaimed area or nearby, (adjacent) <br /> areas. <br /> t <br /> 7. A limited number of access roads will be retained to provide access for seeding and <br /> reclamation inspection. <br /> 8. Normal stabilization of disturbed surfaces will be performed in all disturbed areas. No <br /> I <br /> seeding will occur in areas where chemical or physical characteristics of the surface and <br /> underlying material of the affected land is deficient in plant nutrients, or composed of <br /> sand, gravel, shale or stone to such an extent as to seriously inhibit plant growth and such <br /> condition cannot feasibly be remedied by chemical treatment, fertilization, replacement of <br /> E 3 <br /> 1 <br /> t. <br />
