plan approval process. In order for OSM to issue approval to mine previously
unleased Federal Coal, they must have verified, in writing, that all of the
analyses required under SMCRA have been made. This document herein
incorporates OSM's TEA Document of February, 1980, and addresses any changes
made as a result of this technical revision.

X. Topsoil and XI. Revegetation
Topsoiling and revegetation practices for the Area 60 technical revision area
will be as set forth in CYCC's March 19, 1985 live handle topsoil technical
• revision approved by MLRD April 18, 1985. Specifically, Area 60 spoils to be
topsoiled and seeded in 1985 and 1986 will be designated as live handle
topsoil test plats. Live handle topsoil test plots will not be artificially
seeded unless vegetation monitoring indicates a failure of volunteer
establishment. Surface and subsurface soil layers will be stripped and
reapplied separately. The surficial topsoil layer (approximately six inches
thick) will be reapplied to the surface of the reclaimed area to maximize
volunteer establishment from native seed and vegetative plant parts.
