III <br /> M-2001-001 Line Camp Pit Amendment#2 (Expansion) <br /> For areas around ponds: collecting native willow cuttings(Salix exigua)from adjacent sites along the <br /> river and planting them at the interface between water and land. Another species of native shrub... is <br /> buffaloberry(Shepherdia argentea). ... also recommend planting hardstem bulrush (Scirpus acutus), <br /> Olney threesquare bulrush (Scirpus americanus), and bluejoint reedgrass(Calamagrostis canadensis) <br /> along the pond margin. The bulrushes can be planted in water to a depth of one foot. <br /> For permanent berms[if they are left]: For the shrub plantings on top of the berms, recommend woods <br /> rose(Rosa woodsii), chokecherry(Prunus virginiana), skunkbush sumac(Rhus trilobata), and golden <br /> currant(Ribes aureum). <br /> Based on Mr. Fuller's recommendation, for this landscaping planting, seed for shore and berm plants <br /> would be broadcast at a rate of 5 pounds PLS per acre. Native willow cuttings would be collected and <br /> planted at a one-foot spacing along the shore of each area. Bullrushes would be planted in mixed <br /> clusters of a dozen plants, about one foot apart, in water up to one foot deep. This is NOT part of <br /> reclamation to DMG standards, but only for County landscaping requirements. <br /> General instructions regarding seeding and care: <br /> All seedings will be mulched with approximately 4000 lbs. of weed-free straw spread and crimped into <br /> the seedbed to a depth of 4 inches, with tracked equipment. <br /> For drilling, a grass drill with depth bands and press wheels to a planting depth of%to 1 inch will be <br /> used. Unless irrigated, seeding will be during the period from 15 October to 15 December(late fall), but <br /> depending on weather conditions, may be done as late as 30 April (when free of frost). If irrigation is <br /> intended for at least the first full growing season, planting will be done between April and August at the <br /> end of mining and reclamation operations for the year for the particular piece of land being reclaimed. <br /> Weed control will be mechanical (mowing) after establishment, on or about 1 June (before annual <br /> weeds have a chance to seed)for the first year. Other control (chemical)should be coordinated with <br /> the land owner and County weed and pest control agency. Use of chemical control will be evaluated on <br /> an annual basis, and the agency will recommend specific applications, rates and schedules based on <br /> weeds observed and other conditions. Beyond the first year, use of mowing,grazing, and other weed <br /> control measures will also be evaluated and carried out in accordance with agency instructions. <br /> Livestock need to be kept off all areas for several years after seeding. <br /> 5182-22-001 WASTEL1NE, INC.
