<br />' TS30161 <br />' seed drill is inappropriate (MLRD staff will be consulted) alternative seeding procedures <br />may be <~mployed, such as hydro seeding/mulching, or broadcast seeding and increasing <br />' the seeding rate as appropriate. <br />' Mulch will be applied to both the side slopes and the quarry bottom at a rate of 2 <br />tons/acre. Where possible, the mulch will be crimped in the soil at a depth of 2 to 4 <br />inches. Dlulch material will be weed and seed free, long-stemmed native grass hay. <br />The seed mix shown in Table E.1 will provide a vegetation mix that is suited to cattle <br />~~ ' grazing use and to a lesser degree, wildlife habitation. This mix will provide the <br />greatest probability of reclamation, in that recommended species are based on soils, <br />climate, :tnd current reclamation practices. The seeding rates shown in the table are <br />rates that assume the use of a seed drill. In those areas where hydro seeding or <br />broadcast seeding are required, the seeding rate will be increased by at least 50 percent <br />' for flat lying areas and 75 percent for slopes. Seeding in each case will occur between <br />November 1 and April 30 when the ground is not frozen. The seeded areas will be <br />' irrigated if climate conditions warrant. <br />' Weed control is not expected to be a problem. However, if it is, an acceptable program <br />to control weeds using chemical or mechanical means will be developed upon <br />consultation with MLRD staff. <br />The land owner has requested that an access road to the quarry bottom be left in place <br />' for his fitture use. Consequently, our final reclamation map shown as Exhibit F, <br />reflects access per his request. This road will also serve to facilitate access to the <br />' area for final reclamation maintenance and monitoring. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />' -21- <br /> <br />
