4.0 Conclusions and <br />• proportion of wane season grasses relative to coo] season grasses. The seed mixture developed as <br />part of the Mine Permit is comprised of 39 percent cool season grasses and 40 percent warm season <br />grasses. Wann season grasses are better represented in this seed mixture. As a result, areas <br />reclaimed in the future using this seed mixture are expected to meet the species diversity standard for <br />warm season grasses. <br />One foot of topsoil material was used as part of the reclamation program for the reclaimed site. This <br />site has been able to support a vaziety of perennial grasses and forbs for over a nine period. Although <br />the site does not meet two of the reclamation standards, this is believed to be related to past <br />reclamation practices rather than topsoil depth. It is therefore likely that a program that uses a <br />similar reclamation approach (including placement of one foot of topsoil), but also incorporates the <br />elements of the reclamation plan, will allow for successful revegetation of coal waste azeas. <br />~ • <br />C~ <br />RevegetationStweyReport-RPr(626)Revl.dodSeptember 6, 2001 1 f <br />
