(1)(c)(iv) Seed will be broadcast by hand or by mechanical spreader on areas that are <br /> small, too steep, or not accessible for seed-drill operations. Seed planted by the <br /> broadcast method shall be incorporated into the surface soil, not to exceed a depth of 3/4 <br /> inch, by raking, harrowing or other proven method. Seeding rates will be doubled when <br /> the seed is broadcast rather than drilled. <br /> (1)(c)(v)All areas will be mulched unless a cover crop is planted. Planted areas will be <br /> mulched with straw at a rate of 4000 pounds per acre. At least 50% of the mulch by <br /> weight shall be 10 inches or more in length. The straw will be free of noxious weeds. The <br /> straw mulch will be crimped into the soil with a mulch crimper or with a disc plow. A disc <br /> plow can be used by setting the disc straight, and applying adequate weight to crimp the <br /> straw 4 inches into the soil. <br /> Feedlot or barnyard manure may be used in lieu of straw mulch. The minimum rate of <br /> application will be 20 tons per acre spread uniformly over the area. <br /> Mulching material shall be applied immediately before or after seeding. When stabilizing <br /> more sandy soils, it will be done just prior to seeding to avoid seeding too deep. <br /> (1)(c)(vi) No trees and/or shrubs will be used. <br /> (1)(d) No erosion issues should occur. The access (haul) road will remain, and serve as <br /> access to the CRP and the abandoned mining area (if necessary). <br /> (1)(e) No features such as waste rock dumps, underground mine openings, ditches, <br /> sediment control facilities, buildings, or any other features are to be established, so no <br /> reclamation treatment should be needed. <br /> PAGE 2 <br />
