<br /> <br />The stockpiled topsoils from Tracts B and C would be used in <br />critical areas. Because the quantity of soil will be very limited it <br />will have to be used carefully. At this point in time it is impossible <br />to predict exactly where it would be used. One area that obviously <br />would be critical would be the two top terraces in Tract A. It would <br />be important to achieve rapid growth on these terraces so the terrace <br />pattern can be eliminated as soon as possible. <br />At this time, the only soil amendments to be used would be the <br />addition of fertilizer using 40 lbs/acre of nitrogen and 80 lbs/acre <br />of phosphorous. Soil tests do not clearly indicate a need for any <br />other supplements. It can be anticipated that iror. deficiencies may <br />occur in local areas. 4'hen and if the vegetation exhibits such a <br />deficiency iron sulfate would be added in the liquid form. Additional <br />• nitrogen would be added at the end of the first growing season. Also, <br /> no nitrogen would be added in this second application within 3 to 4 <br />feet of woody plants as this would result in excessive growth of the <br />grasses and too much moisture competition thereby hindering the growth <br />of the woody plants. <br />Mulches are not deemed necessary on most areas using the <br />proposed species. Certain critical areas may be mulched with wood <br />fiber and extra nitrogen. Such mulch would be placed after seeding. <br />It is believed such a procedure as outlined above will <br />produce a plant growth medium fully capable of supporting the planned. <br />vegetation. It must be understood that Castle Concrete Company must <br />be allowed some fle::ibility in applying the plan to specific sites. idot <br />all the variables can be anticipated and slight modifications may be <br />• necessary to produce the }:ind of success desired. <br />P-E-9 <br />
