The <br /> phases will be reclaimed as discussed above, provided the mined phase and its <br /> reclamation will not interfere with mining in the next phase. <br /> (f) Measures that will be taken to revegetate the site: <br /> (i) Final grade of slopes: <br /> The final grade of all interior pit slopes will be 3H:1 V or less. In addition, the areas <br /> needing reclamation will be graded to blend in with the surrounding area. <br /> The pit floor will be at a final grade of 1.5% or less, away from the toe of the slopes, in <br /> an eastward direction. This will ensure no ponding of rain or snow runoff yet prevent <br /> excessive site erosion. <br /> (ii) Seeding specifications: <br /> The seedbed will be scarified and then drilled or broadcast seeded across the slopes, <br /> where safe. Areas will be seeded with an appropriate drill for the type of seed being <br /> planted. At this point in time, we do not propose to mulch the site after seeding. Given <br /> the slight final slope of the pit floor, mulching the floor the pit would not be beneficial to <br /> seedling establishment. (Operator/Applicant reserves the option to broadcast seed at <br /> twice the drill seeding rate in those areas where drill seeding may present a hazard to <br /> equipment and operators.) <br /> The following is the seed mix based on the already approved 110 Construction Permit. <br /> Purple prairie clover is proposed to be added to the mix with the approval of this <br /> Conversion Application. <br /> 32 <br />
