Loveland Ready-Mix, Concrete, Inc. 16 September 2021 <br />updated_exhibits_e.docx <br /> <br />7.4.1 Topsoil Management <br />7.4.2 Revegetation <br />LRM plans to utilize the seed mixture presented in Attachment 4 of the response to <br />adequacy review as the basis for reclamation seeding mixtures (Pawnee Butte Seed, 2017). <br />Placed topsoil will be graded to drain, scarified to promote infiltration and air movement <br />into the soil. Seeding will be accomplished by broadcast or drill. Broadcast seeding will <br />be followed by dragging, or light rolling to promote soil contact. Drill seeding will be at <br />the appropriate depth in the soil to optimize germination for the species being planted. In <br />general, seeds should be placed ¼ inch to ½ inch deep in the soil. Following seeding, areas <br />will be protected from erosion by the application of cereal straw or grass mulch, laid and <br />crimped into the soil as to prevent removal by wind and water. Grass or straw will be <br />crimped in place with a mechanical crimper made for such purposes or using a farm-type <br />disc plow set straight with adequate weight to crimp the material to a depth of <br />approximately 4 inches. Mulch will be applied at a minimum rate of approximately one <br />ton per acre. For slopes exceeding 5:1, mulch will be applied at a minimum rate of <br />approximately 2 tons per acre. <br />LRM plans to utilize a diverse grass species that are best adapted for this area based on <br />recommendation from Pawnee Butte Seed Company (Pawnee Butte Seed, 2017). A <br />minimum of four species will be specified for mixes and a mix of cool and warm weather <br />species are included. Attachment 4 of the response to adequacy review shows the <br />temporary soil stockpile, upland and wetland seed mixes. <br />7.5 Reclamation Schedule <br />For information satisfying Sub-section 6.4.5(2)(e) of the Rules and Regulations, please <br />refer to the timetable for mining and reclamation in Exhibit D Section (e). Also shown in <br />Exhibits D and F are the size and location of each mining Cell/phase’s reclamation area. <br />The sequence of reclamation is described in the previous sections and shown in Exhibits C <br />and F.
