f <br /> Prior to 1982, Trapper had initially seeded all reclaim units to a winter wheat <br /> cover crop except for approximately 15 acres of test plots. The volunteer nature <br /> of the winter wheat caused severe competition with perennial seeding efforts <br /> during 1981 and 1982. A two-year program of seeding alternate wheat strips to <br /> perennials began in 1983 and ended in 1984. This program affected approxi- <br /> mately 275 acres. Direct seeding of perennial species only began in 1982 on <br /> topsoiled areas in Ashmore, Derringer and Enfield pits. This explains several <br /> 1984 map units (Map 1.0) for Ashmore, Colt and Derringer pits. <br /> Not shown on Map(s) 1.0 in this annual report are the areas seeded to tempo- <br /> rary perennial mixes along roadways, dams and associated disturbances such as <br /> topsoil piles which will require final reclamation prior to the end of the project <br /> (life of mine). <br />
