<br />SMUGGLER MME SITE <br />6\V Exttlslr D <br />overall quality of the growth medium. The most appropriate form of nitrogen fertilizer in this <br />environment is 33-0-0 (N-P-K) applied at the approximate rate of 100 pounds per acre. <br />D-4.5 Seedbed Preparation, Mulching and Planting Times <br />The growth medium will be left rough to provide a suitable seedbed. Compacted areas will <br />be ripped or scarified (as necessary) prior to seeding. Straw or hay mulch, jute mesh, excelsior <br />blanket, or other similar products will be used as an aid to revegetation on steep slopes. Flat areas <br />may be planted without mulch. The mulching rate (if hay or straw) will be 2 tons per acre. Weed <br />control is not anticipated to be a problem. However, if weeds do become dominant, they will be <br />sprayed or otherwise controlled in accordance with county and state requirements and <br />recommendations. Seeding during the spring or fall is preferred, but may be done any time during <br />the growing season in this ecosystem. <br />D-4.6 Site Specific Reclamation <br />The site is small but can be divided into three separate reclamation components: <br />• No. 3 Portal, <br />• No. 2 Portal (including the Clark Tunnel), and <br />• Main mine bench. <br />General reclamation activities were discussed in Sections D-4.0 through D-4.5 and are reiterated <br />below on a site specific basis. <br />No. 3 Tunnel Portal <br />The only "structure" neaz the No. 3 Tunnel is the water tank. The water tank will be removed <br />from the site. The tank will probably be pulled down to Dump No. 2, loaded on a truck, and trucked <br />off the site. The mine portals will be secured as required by applicable mine safety regulations. <br />Access to the top of the Dump No. 3 is available from the Smuggler Mountain Road. The <br />road to No. 3 Tunnel portal will be left intact for access. <br />No. 2 Tunnel Portal and Clark Tunnel <br />Structures without a future use or historic value will be salvaged and removed from the site. <br />The existing access road will be used for future access to these mine portals. The road to the top of <br />Dump No. 2 will be left intact for access. Mine portals will be secured as required by applicable <br />mine safety regulations. <br />- 2g - SMUGGLER MINE SITE <br />
