(f) Descriptions and Specification of Reclamation activities <br /> (i) Final Grading <br /> Final slopes will be graded to 3H:1 V <br /> (ii-v) Seeding, Fertilization, Revegetation, Topsoil Placement <br /> Topsoil Replacement/ Revegetation <br /> Topsoil will be replaced to an approximate depth of 8" ft for the areas shown in <br /> as topsoil/revegetation areas in Exhibit F Sheet 1. <br /> Seeding and Fertilizing <br /> The proposed seeding areas are shown on Exhibit F — Reclamation Plan Map, <br /> Sheet 1. The recommended seeding method is by drill and seeding rates assume <br /> this method. The species composition of the seed mixture recommended for <br /> reclamation is shown in Table 6.4.5-2. Recommended Seed Mixture <br /> Table 6.4.5-2.

Topsoil should be disked prior to seeding. It is <br /> recommended that fertilizer be utilized for reclamation. A standard application of <br /> fertilizer will be used and applied at a rate of 250 Ibs/ac as shown in Table 6.4.5- <br /> 3. Fertilizer Application <br /> Table 6.4.5-3.
