• Methods to be used for reclamation sampling will be similar to the techniques used for <br />baseline data collection or other sampling methodologies previously approved by the <br />Division. <br />4.15.2 USE OF INTRODUCED SPECIES <br />EFCI plans to utilize several seed mixtures to establish vegetation in areas disturbed by the <br />Southfield mining and related operations. These seed mixtures are presented as Tables 33 <br />and 33a, in Section 2.05.4, Reclamation Plan. <br />Introduced species have been included in the proposed seed mixtures. These species include: <br />• Oats (cover crop) <br />• Cicer Milkvetch (permanent seed mixture) <br />Introduced species included in the seed mixtures are desirable and necessary for effective <br />vegetative reestablishment on disturbed areas. Topsoil stockpiles, diversion ditches, <br />sedimentation pond embankments and other similar areas require rapidly growing species <br />that will quickly stabilize these areas. Given the immediate need for rapid stabilization, and <br />proven effectiveness of the selected species use of these introduced species is justified. <br />These species meet specific requirements of applicable State and Federal regulations <br />addressing introduced species and are not noxious or poisonous. <br />Further discussion of species selection and justification for use of introduced species <br />included in Section 2.05.4. Reclamation Plan. <br />• <br />TR-34 4.15-2 Revised 8/02 <br />
