The slopes proposed for reclaimed land will <br />be commensurate with the proposed land use. <br />Cotter is designing test plot studies to provide information to insure <br />success in plant establishment and soil development. Environmental <br />factors, soil texture and fertility, slope stability, and slope aspect <br />will be taken into consideration. Attention will be given to biological <br />factors, seeding and transplanting practices, care of planting stock, <br />and restriction of grazing during initial establishment. <br />Techniques of site preparation and protection will be implemented as <br />necessary with methods of weed control employed as necessary and practical <br />to prevent the spreading of prohibited noxious weed species. <br />E-4 <br />
