• <br />CMI-RH -Exhibit E <br />Reclamation Plan <br />Page 4 <br />Topsoil Placement <br />Topsoil will be replaced on graded slopes at depths indicated on Table E-1. Prior to placement, <br />the graded slopes will be left rough to facilitate adhesion of the topsoil layer. Topsoil depth will <br />be monitored during placement by reclamation personnel to verify that it is within the specified <br />range. ~ , kvY• • ,~, 2~ <br />Scedbed Preparation <br />Areas to be seeded will <br />,evv~p Q~ subsoil compaction cai <br />~' ~~ cultipac r necessa~ <br />April 1 to sober 1. th <br />that time <br />• <br />surface. , <br />to assure <br /> <br />e rinsed following topsoil placement to a depth of 18 inches to relieve <br />~_heavy machinery traffic Areas to he drill seee~e~ wIIT be <br />they will be diced to reduce clod size.

In these tables are included both seed mixes and nursery <br />stock planting rates. For the seed mixes, rates of Pure Live Seed (PLS)/acre for drill seeding <br />and broadcast seeding are shown. Plant communities to be created during reclamation include <br />the following: <br />~- <br />• Shallow Soil (Dry) Grassland (Table E-2) -This type is planned for ridgetop sites <br />and slope with southeast to southwest exposures. Topsoil depth will be 4 to 8 <br />inches. <br />• <br />• Deep Soil (Moist) Grassland (Table E-3) -This type is planned for valley bottom <br />and other low slope areas of varying exposure. The deep soil (topsoil depth 15 <br />to 21 inches) will allow optimal development of grass root systems. Although it <br />is anticipated that moist conditions will prevail, it is not intended for this type to <br />be a wetland community. <br />• Tce Slope Grassland (Table E-4) -This type is to be placed at the base of <br />reclaimed slopes below Shallow Soil (Dry) Grassland, Dry Shrubland, or Moist <br />
