Mr. Joe Kurys • - 4 - Exhibit D (cont'd> September 2, 1992 The applicant should specify the ma:<imum gradient that any reclaimed surface within the permit area will have. If all areas are to be returned to a level condition by the reclamation, the applicant should sdy 50. As indicated before, there is no commitment to salvage, stockpile and stabilize topsoil (i.e., plant growth medium). The applicant should commit to the salvage, stockpiling and stabilizing a certain thickness of topsoil from the site if this is intended. There is no acceptable revegetation plan, i.e., how the site will be prepared, the seed mix used, the application rate, mulching employed, etc. There are only statements the*. no seeding will be done and natural vegetation will reestablish itself. The Division does not consider such revegetation of a reclaimed area, with the potential that this revegetation may largely consist of ~,veeds, will satisfy the intent of Rule 6.5(1). While Rule 6.5(1> indicates that a preference for use of species native to a region in any revegetation effort, Rule 6.5(6) requires that weed growth be controlled during revegetation in order to enhance development desired vegetation and eliminate spread of weeds to nearby areas. The applicant must provide a revegetation plan which can be based on recommendations of the local Soil Conservation Service but which provides for the revegetation of the reclaimed area by desired species.
