4.06.2 on the RSRDA and Cameo Refuse Disposal Areas Nos. 1 and 3, <br />'~ and a minimum of 24" on the Cameo Refuse Disposal Area No. 2. <br />BLM's interest in the project is noted in Appendix 14-1. <br />As part of the field trial, the RSRDA was partially reclaimed by placing a <br />minimum of 6" of cover on the faces and top of the pile. Final <br />reclamation of this pile will be done at the end of the life of the Roadside <br />South Portal or when the top of the pile is no longer needed as a storage <br />area and benches can be graded on the outslope to reduce erosion. <br />Due to flooding along the Colorado River in 1984, excessive erosion <br />occurred along the river bank adjacent to the Overland Conveyor. To <br />reestablish the banks and to reduce the chance of it happening again, <br />the river bank was rebuilt, a berm was added along the outside edge and <br />the embankment was rip rapped. The berm along the river was <br />designed as the final contours for the area and a permanent seed mix <br />was planted in the fall. No further reclamation work is scheduled for the <br />berm. <br />The lower benches of the Cameo Refuse Disposal Areas Nos. 1 and 2 <br />were covered with soil during the summer of 1994. The majority of the <br />soil to be spread on the pile was a foam to sandy foam. fn order to <br />maximize revegetation efficiency and minimize soil erosion, revegetation <br />including the final seed mix was done during the summer, immediately <br />following the dirt work. Revegetation on steep slopes involved dozer <br />tracking up and down the slope, hydroseeding the tracked area with a <br />slurry containing seed and a moisture membrane {Kiwi Green) at a rate <br />of 25 pounds per acre, straw mulching and tackifying the straw with a <br />slurry containing 100 pounds per acre of a psyllium based tackifier mixed <br />_ with 150 to 250 pounds per acre of a wood/paper fiber mulch in 1500 <br />. 14-2 (New 3/1/96) <br />u~ ~ . ~. <br />
