The overburden stockpile to <br />the west of Cell 2 will continue to supply fill material after the reservoirs are <br />reclaimed, therefore only revegetation will occur in that area. Once the fill has <br />been removed from the site, the underlying topsoil will be reseeded again. <br />Seeding and Fertilizing <br />The proposed seeding areas are shown on Exhibit F – Reclamation Plan Map. <br />The recommended seeding method is by drill and seeding rates assume this <br />method. The species composition of the seed mixture recommended for <br />reclamation is shown in Table E-3 below. <br />Table E-3.
