<br />3.1.10 Revegetation <br />The revegetation plan recommended by the SCS appears to meet the criteria of a <br />diverse, effective and long-lasting vegetative cover that is capable of <br />self-regeneration, without continued dependence on irrigation, soil amendments of <br />fertilizer. It is expected to be at least equal in extent of cover to the natural <br />vegetation of the surrounding area. <br />(2) If the operator's choice of reclamation is forest planting............ <br />The operator leas not selected forest planting, so this section is not applicable. <br />(3) The operator's choice of reclamation is for rangeland, and as stated earlier, the <br />land shall be restored to slopes commensurate with the proposed land-use and shall <br />not be too steep to be traversed by livestock or equipment, Seeding will probably <br />be done with a drill but if the broadcast method is chosen, the rate of seeding will <br />be doubled. <br />4) Revegetation has been designed around the SCS reconunendations, since they <br />are the most experienced with revegetation in this area. Grazing will be <br />delayed until revegetation is complete. <br />3.1.11 Buildings and Structures <br />There are no buildings or structures on site that will require any special treatment <br />or protection from the operator, local government or the Board.
