<br />redistributed 6 to 3 inches deep. <br />Revegetation <br />All vegetation in the area mined will, of course, be destroyed. <br />The land will be revegetated. Soil tests and information from <br />Colorado State University's agriculture department which is <br />currently farming the land, recommend fertilizing with 50 to <br />100 lbs. of nitrogen per acre before seeding (see Figure 5). <br />The University recommends the following seed mixture: <br />Common Name PLS/Acre <br />Jose Tall Wheat Grass 10 <br />Birdsfoot Treefoil 5 <br />TOTAL PLS/Acre 15 <br />This mixture is suitable for dry land pasture and will also do <br />well with additional water, A cover crop of oats should be <br />drilled with the wheat grass. Seeding should be done in the <br />spring. <br />Air Quality <br />Existing air quality at the site is generally good and represents <br />typical background levels of pollutants for a rural area in <br />close proximity to urban developments. Dust and suspended <br />particulate concentrations in air at the site are occasionally <br />high due to wind-raised dust from nearby roads, agricultural <br />activity or natural dust sources. The air quality impact of <br />the mining, processing and reclamation project will be mitigated <br />by the following factors: <br />E- 3 <br />
