3. No irrigation will be used either. The seed mixture should be successful with <br /> average annual precipitation and reasonably normal precipitation intervals. <br /> 4. Although drill seeding can be done whenever the soil is workable it is best done <br /> between early November and early April. But July and August can also work if <br /> the North American Monsoon is expected to be active in the year when planting <br /> will be done. If there will be a weak monsoonal flow then it is likely best to not <br /> plant at that time. <br /> Management of the Reclamation <br /> 1. The management technique to be used on this reclamation will be adaptive <br /> management. <br /> 2. Adaptive management is where the reclamation is closely monitored on a <br /> regular basis to see what is happening in the development of the reclaimed land. <br /> 3. Changes are watched and action is taken depending on the nature of the change, <br /> its size, whether the reclamation process itself controls the damage or change, <br /> or if the change continues to grow and create more problems. <br /> 4. Action is taken only when indicated by the condition of that which is changing <br /> and how that relates to and affects other portions of the total reclamation <br /> process. <br /> 5. Adaptive management recognizes that changes will occur, even minor damages, <br /> but action is taken based on the dynamics of the change and whether the change <br /> is altering the intended direction of the reclamation development. <br /> EROSION CONTROL: <br /> A. In this reclamation plan the primary concern for erosion control will be <br /> with regard to the 3:1 slopes. However, erosion of the reclaimed floor of <br /> the pit could also occur with very strong storms even with 1% slopes. <br /> B. Like many such things it is better to fix it before it gets serious. Small <br /> rills can become large gullies,but if a small rill a couple of inches deep <br /> forms early in the reclamation the revegetation can stabilize it. The only <br /> way to be sure of that is through watching it to see what happens and if <br /> the rill grows then act to control it. (That is adaptive management.) <br /> Fountain Pit Technical Revision 43 - June 2022 M-1982-155 Reclamation Plan Page 6 of 23 <br />
