the fall or early winter. Contemporaneous site preparation and revegetation <br /> will be performed in the Quarry if possible. Topsoil depths average six <br /> inches. This soil will be stockpiled in a berm above the working benches. <br /> When a working bench is ready to be reclaimed it will be shaped to <br /> approximate original contour and covered with topsoil. <br /> Backfilled surfaces will be disked or ripped to eliminate compacted <br /> conditions. Backfill surfaces will be covered evenly with topsoil. Prior to <br /> broadcast seeding, the topsoil will be roughened by a method such as <br /> pitting, raking or harrowing to break up any crust that has formed and <br /> ensure good seed-to-soil contact. Fertilizer will not be utilized. <br /> To control erosion and enhance vegetative establishment on slopes steeper <br /> than 3:1, seedbed preparation may include pocking or pitting the soil <br /> material to form microbasins scaled to the site and materials. These <br /> microbasins will be constructed in irregularly spaced and irregularly aligned <br /> rows with an orientation perpendicular to the natural flow of runoff down a <br /> slope. <br />
