The soil shall be mechanically conditioned <br /> using disks and rippers, mulch will be spread after seeding, and temporary irrigation may be <br /> employed to ensure germination of as many seedlings as possible. Drill seeding will be utilized <br /> throughout the site. <br /> Certified weed free mulch will be crimped into the surface at 2000 lbs. per-acre. Furrows from <br /> disking will be left in the topsoil to provide moisture concentration and shade areas to promote <br /> better conditions for successful vegetation establishment. Seeding will occur in the first fall <br /> season following the placement of topsoil. <br /> The site will be prepared to provide the best chance of vegetation establishment by completing <br /> the following as recommended by the NRCS in the Plant materials Technical Note No. 59: <br /> "The seedbed should be well settled and firm but friable enough that seed can be drilled at the <br /> recommended depth. Soils that have been compacted by traffic or other equipment should be <br /> tilled(deep-chisled or ripped if necessary) to break up restrictive or compacted layers and then <br /> harrowed and rolled or packed to prepare the required firm seedbed. Avoid seedbed <br /> preparation when the soil is wet to prevent compaction of the seedbed. Planting depth less than <br /> I inch." <br /> No trees or nursey stock will be used in reclamation.No fertilizer will be used. The maximum <br /> reclaimed slope will be 3H:IV. <br /> 23 1/4 West <br /> October 2020 E-4 <br />
