Wind and water erosion will be controlled prior to seeding by leaving <br />the area in a rough condition. Because of the sandy material found in <br />this area, the area will be seeded after straw mulch has been applied. <br />If the seed is drilled first followed by the application and crimping of <br />the mulch, then the seed will be buried so deep that none of the seed <br />will be able to grow. Therefore, the entire area will be mulched as <br />soon as possible after it has been prepared for seeding. Immediately <br />following mulching and seeding, any slope areas will be furrowed or <br />treated with an erasion control blanket or jute netting to reduce <br />erosion potential and maintain site stability until such time as the <br />vegetation is sufficiently established. <br />Revegetation P1an;iT ollowing the regrading of an area, straw mulch at <br />the rate of 2,000 per acre will be blown onto the flat surfaces while <br />4x000 pounds per acre of straw mulch will be used on steeper areas. <br />During the first normal period for planting after the area has been <br />regraded and the mulch spread, the actual seeding of the area will take <br />• place. <br />The proposed seed mixture, as shown in Table 7, Proposed Seed Mixture, <br />contains the diversity essential for ecological site stability. On the <br />areas to be disturbed by the surface facilities, reclamation will take <br />place following the conclusion of mining activities. The revegetation <br />will be conducted during the first normal planting season following <br />regrading and the preparation of the site for seeding. The seed mixture <br />to be used is shown in Table 7, Proposed Seed Mixture. The most <br />favorable time of revegetation will be in late September or early <br />October; therefore, the seeding will be done just prior to the season <br />when the probability of moisture is at its greatest. <br /> <br />2.05-30 <br />
