Revised I/I1/BO <br />• <br />possibly be required to anchor the straw mulch that could pos- <br />sibly be broadcast on areas that are not amenable to seeding <br />the annual cereal grain mulch. For example, chemical tacki- <br />fiers may be used in areas where, because of steep slopes <br />equipment is not able to adequately punch straw mulch, such <br />as topsoil stockpiles, road slopes, diversion ditches, sedi- <br />mentation ponds and other inaccessible areas. Tackifiers <br />that might possibly be used zre those recommended by Cook, <br />et al. (1972) and are documented as having no adverse plant <br />growth inhibiting properties. <br />Section 816.114 Continued <br />Finally, it should be noted that EFC will not use a <br />woody fiber aspen mulch, due to the fact that the equipment which <br />was to have produced that material proved to be unsuccessful <br />in on the ground operational tests. In the event the: annual <br />grain mulching technique does not prove acceptable, EFC pro- <br />poses, as a contingency, to use straw mulch or other accE:p- <br />table mulching material. EFC will submit specific plans for <br />these contingency mulching techniques for OSbi and MLRD appro- <br />val should the implementation of such contingency plans <br />appear necessary. <br />816-153 (g) <br />
