rpoc Date:12/11l2001 III IIIIIIIIIIIII III <br />sss <br />~(G Section 816.111 Revegetation: General requirements. <br /> <br />la) Each person who conducts surface mining activities shall establish on all affected land a <br />diverse, effective, and permanent vegetative cover of the same seasonal variety native to the <br />area of disturbed land or species that supports the approved postmining land use. For areas <br />designated as prime farmland, the requirements of 30 CFR 823 shall apply. <br />As fully described in Section 779.23, upon the completion of mining, Kerr Coal proposes <br />to return the Kerr Mine Area and the Kerr Tipple Area to their predisturbance land use <br />(rangelandl. To this end, Kerr Coal has identified a suitable seed mixture for the Kerr <br />Mine Area and the Kerr Tipple Area, respectively, which will be capable of establishing a <br />diverse, effective and permanent vegetative cover supportive of the postmining land use. <br />The proposed seed mixtures for the Kerr Mine Area and the Kerr Tipple Area set forth <br />below were derived after careful study of not only the vegetative types which occur <br />naturally in these areas, but also other potential introduced species intended to support a <br />rangeland land use. Table 29, Summary of Vegetative Types, lists the vegetative types <br />occurring at the Kerr Mine Area. <br /> <br />• <br />TR-19 <br />816-143 <br />Revised 1 1 /98 <br />
