<br />3. Revegetation Plan
<br />For both the dryland and new wetland areas, the soil will be disced to loosen the soil. Due to the mild
<br />grade, seed can be drilled in both areas in order to ensure a better revegetation success rate. The
<br />dryland areas will be seeded with a specially designed seed mix, seen below in Table E-3. Certified
<br />weed free mulch will be crimped into the surface at 2000 Ibs per acre. The 6HAV slopes along the
<br />north and west sides of the pit will be hydroseeded only. The new wetlands will be seeded with a
<br />specially designed mix, seen below in Table E-4. Fertilizer may be added as determined by a soil test
<br />at the time of seeding but will only be used in the areas outside of the wetland footprints. Heavy
<br />furrows will be left in the tilled topsoil to provide moisture concentration and shade areas in order to
<br />promote better conditions for successful vegetation establishment. Seeding will take place the fall
<br />after which a slope has been retopsoiled. Slopes will be regraded, backfilled, and retopsoiled as soon
<br />as they are able to be reclaimed, the exception being wetland footprint areas, which will only be
