7 - Initial Fertilizer Application - Based on the results of the fertility testing, fertilizer of the <br />designated type will be applied at the rate specified from the lab testing. The fertilizer is in solid <br />form and will be applied by small tractor with a broadcast spreader. Phosphorus fertilizer will be <br />applied in the Spring of the same year that the initial fertility testing is done, and will be tilled <br />into the soil prior to seeding. Nitrogen fertilizer will be surface applied one time, if warranted <br />based on initial testing, in the fall following the first full growing season. <br />For areas greater than 15% slope, the following procedures will be followed: <br />1 - Scarification - The single lift topsoil will be scarified (ripped) to its placement depth using a <br />motor grader with rippers which will operate perpendicular to the slope, creating rough surfaces <br />to trap moisture and prevent soil erosion along this slope. An example of an area where this <br />would be employed is the north edge of the Benson West, the ERMR-Lloyd and the ERMR- <br />Johnson property, where there is a significant steeper slope in these areas. <br />13.4 Differential Settling Management Plan <br />In the event that small depressions develop in the irrigated areas west of 2700 Road due to <br />differential settling, topsoil will be added to the settling area and reseeded. <br />Repair of small depressions will only take place on IP outside of the growing season of April to <br />September. Repairs will not take place if it is determined that the soil is saturated or frozen. In <br />general, small depression repairs will be conducted using the same procedures outlined for <br />topsoil redistribution. <br />If excess topsoil material is available to directly backfill the depression without stripping the <br />topsoil from said depression, this will be done instead of the Bench 1 placement method <br />described above. <br />On the Morgan Property, if depressions develop that require the stripping of topsoil to facilitate <br />Bench 1 placement, then topsoil lifts will be stripped and stored separately. At all times topsoil <br />lifts will be stored separately. The same process will be used if excavation is necessary for the <br />installation or maintenance of any buried irrigation or utility lines on the Morgan Property. <br />July 2018 (TR -84) 2.05.4(2)(d)-23 <br />
