Commercial starter fertilizer will be applied at the rate of 400 pounds/acre ammonium <br /> sulfate <br /> 2. Post-Reclamation Site Drainage <br /> The entire permit area will drain to the pit lake after reclamation, as shown on Map Exhibit E-2. <br /> 3.Weed Control <br /> Farnsworth will take measures to ensure that the reclaimed land is free of weed infestations. <br /> Problem weeds will be monitored closely each spring for the first two years after reclamation to <br /> determine if they are invading the area. Weed control will be initiated if the problem becomes <br /> serious. The Division will be consulted regarding any weed infestation area and any control <br /> measures prior to their initiation. It may be necessary to control weeds by mowing after the first <br /> year; the feasibility of chemical weed control methods will be studied should it be necessary. The <br /> plan does not contemplate total weed removal on the property. Past experience shows that some <br /> initial weed cover in the first year following topsoiling is beneficial to the reclamation effort. <br /> Weeds tend to provide shade for new grasses, are a means of holding snow on the seedbed longer <br /> and protect it from wind and water erosion until the planted species have taken hold. <br /> 32 <br /> North Fork Pit March 04 <br />
