' • <br />' The location of additional stockpiles will be in any adjacent <br /> area that will not be mined and is not in the way of any <br /> mining operation. These areas have been included in the total <br />' acreage of the affected area and will be reclaimed in accordance <br /> with the total reclamation plan if used. <br />' The established topsoil stockpile will not become unnecessarily <br /> compacted and contaminated. The stockpile will only be handled <br /> while being replaced. <br />' e. Overburden will be properly placed on graded slopes to insure <br /> stability. No heavy textured spoil surfaces are anticipated. <br /> f. The quality of the medium used for topsoil is discussed in <br /> Exhibit I. <br />' g. The growing media will be replaced evenly throughout the <br /> reclaimed area. Fertilizer will be applied if found necessary. <br /> See next Section for type of revegetation anticipated. <br />' h. Vegetative piles have been removed from the area. Any <br /> additional vegetative waste will be removed from the site <br /> during grubbing operations. <br /> Rule 6.5 Revegetation <br />a. Revegetation is a part of the reclamation p1 an. After back- <br />filling, grading and leveling, seeding will be initiated at <br />the beginning of the first growing season after mining is <br />' completed in each area. All slopes will be seeded by broad- <br />casting with a mixture of grasses suitable for pasture land as <br />recommended by the local ASCS representative. <br />' Mater is available from the ponds and a relatively high water <br />' <br /> table for i <br />rri'gation and will be applied as necessary to <br /> insure revegetation. Fertilizer will be applied as necessary. <br />' Favorable brusfi species which invade from natural downr~ircl, <br /> downslope seeding will be allowed to remain. <br />' b. No portion of this area will be reclaimed as forest land. <br /> c. No portion of thi.~s area will be reclaimed as range land. <br />' d. Environmental factors have peen considered ip the plan for the <br /> chosen Rlan of reclamati.gn. Exhibit K contains the climatological <br /> datq whicfi was considered. Soil texture and capability <br />' l'nformatiron is contdi'ne4 in Exhibit I. Stability will be <br /> provided 6y the vegetation as it becomes established. <br /> nnoculatinn of seed wi~l1 be considered with the coordination <br /> of the local 3oi'1 Conservation Service ggent, if found <br /> pece5sary. f;razi.ng is anticipated as part of the end land <br /> use. <br />e. ~ A11 proper methods and techniques normal to site preparation <br />and protection for agriculture will be followed in order to <br />establish vegetation in accordance with the reclamation plan. <br />
