The first phase of reclamation will be done in the course of
mining by shaping all side slopes to a 3:l or flatter grade
along the perimeter of each area. This practice when com-
bined with the annual mining plan to baekcast topsoil material
to a final graded area to the rear for reseeding will assure
a minimal amount of material loss and rapid restoration. It is
anticipated that an area of approximately 4 acres will be seeded
annually.
In 1986, much of the original 10 acres ±, will be reshaped and
prepared for seeding. A problem area exists centrally located
along the north boundary where a fairly large stockpile of
screened material has been placed. The cost of relocation of
this material is prohibitive for the purposes of squaring-up
the area for reclamation. Therefore, an area of two to three
acres will be temporarily avoided for reclamation at this time.
The balance of the north and east embankments will be graded to
3:1 or flatter in preparation for redistribution of most of the
topsoil now held in the northwest corner of the active mining
area. Topsoil material remaining unused in this stockpile will
be reshaped and seeded at the same time seeding is done in 1986
or early 1987. A portion of the original permitted area has
never been disturbed as may be seen on Exhibits C-1 & C-2, and
will not be subject to reclamation.
Topsoil material will be redistributed to a depth of 6 to 8"
and scarified to a depth of 10 to 12" with a chisel to assure
cohesion to the subsurface of the embankment areas. Compaction
of the seedbed will be assured because of the several operations
involved in the seedbed preparation.
Commercial fertilizer will be added at the time of seeding with
a grass drill late in the year when the ground is too cool for
seed germination, but before ?~9arch 1st of the following year in
order to take advantage of optimum moisture conditions. The
rates of application and seed mixture are described in the SCS
form (180-12-11) and cover letter dated September 30,1985.
Long stemmed hay or clea7~ straw applied at the rate of 4,000lbs.
per acre will be uniformly spread over the seeded area and
crimped into the soil to a depth of 4" or more. To anchor the
mulching material a weighted disc plow will be used with the
blades set straight.
Livestock will be excluded from the area until all reseeded
grass is well established.
The letter from the USDA Soil Conservation Service provides
the basic reclamation plan to be followed and is therefore,
added as Exhibit E-1.
