Certified weed free hay, not straw mulch, will also be crimped in place at the rate of 3000 to <br /> 4000 lbs/acre. The disturbed area not converted for use as recreational facilities will be reclaimed <br /> to rangeland. <br /> To ensure the establishment of a diverse and long-lasting vegetative cover,the Operator will <br /> employ site preparation techniques and protection. 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. In the even broadcast seeding is required, it will be at double the drill <br /> seeding rate. <br /> Furrows from disking will be left in the topsoil to provide moisture concentration and shade <br /> areas to promote better conditions for successful vegetation establishment. Because dust <br /> mitigation is a primary concern of this project, seeding will occur immediately following the <br /> placement of topsoil. Temporary irrigation, either by water truck or surface irrigation system, <br /> will be employed if required. <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 /> Mystic Soil <br /> November 2020 E-5 c: i .�nssxurg n,� <br />
