<br />favorable weather conditions and successful establishment of plants <br />after one seeding. Follow-up control includes management of seeded <br />areas as required. This may involve fencing, rill and gully control, <br />weed control, and pest control. It may also include reseeding and <br />mulching. The line between "follow-up" and "post-operational moni- <br />toring" is somewhat arbitrary as the management tasks involved will <br />somewhat overlap. Examples may be reseeding, fertilization, fence <br />repair, erosion control, weed and pest control, mowing, and so on. <br />It is anticipated that limited grazing may commence on reclaimed <br />azeas in the second or third growing season. It should be emphasized that <br />this once again supposes optimum conditions. No grazing will be allowed <br />without the approval of the Division of Mined Land Reclamation. Under good <br />conditions it is anticipated that sampling to establish reclamation success <br />• can be done once to five years following initial plant establishment. <br />2.05:4(2)(b) Reclamation Cost Estimates <br />Table 2 summarizes the total reclamation liabilities for each <br />developed area. These figures represent a "worst case" situation which <br />considerably exceeds actual on the ground liability at any particular time. <br />An allowance is provided for this at the bottom of the table. <br />2.05.4(2)(c) Backfilling and Regrading <br />The purpose of final grading operations will be to provide acceptable <br />slope configurations and to provide the bast possible conditions for revege- <br />tation. <br />Backfilling and grading of pits 4 and 5 will proceed as part of <br />the mining sequence. An overburden stockpile is provided for each area to <br />accomodate material taken from the initial box cut. At the end of mining <br />this material will be picked up and returned to the final cut. <br />• <br />IV-3 <br />
