2.05.4(2)(e) <br />Planting and Seeding <br />The temporary seed mix will be hydroseeded or broadcast seeded. The <br />permanent seed mixture will be drilled on level areas and on slopes which will <br />permit machine work along the contour. On slopes which prevent safe or <br />adequate machine work, the surface will be hydroseeded or broadcast <br />seeded. Broadcast seeding will also be used for small isolated areas. Dozer <br />tracking up and down steep slopes or other roughening techniques will be <br />used before seeding to establish a better seedbed. On predominantly south <br />and west facing steep slopes, the surface will be extensively roughened to <br />provide for increased moisture retention and favorable micro sites for plant <br />establishment. Seeding will be done in the fall after October 15th. <br />(iv) Mulching Techniques <br />All seeded areas will be mulched with certified weed free grass or hay or <br />straw. Approximately 2 tons of mulch will be used on each acre seeded. The <br />mulch will be anchored using a tackifier, crimping or tackifier mixed with wood <br />or wood/paper fiber. The tackifier will be applied in accordance with the <br />manufacturers recommendations with consideration of the type and quality of <br />mulch applied, slope, soil conditions and other applicable factors. <br />On drilled sites the hay or straw will be crimped with a serrated disc or other <br />appropriate equipment. <br />(v) Irrigation and Weed Control <br />Use of the planting and mulching methods specified above will result in <br />satisfactory plant establishment, barring abnormally dry conditions. There are <br />no plans to irrigate the reclaimed areas. <br />PR -02 2.05-43 10/12 <br />
