If a seed drill can be used, the <br />rates of seeding will be halved and mountain mahogany seed not <br />included (and later seeded by hand). <br />- Where seeded by the broadcast method, mechanical means will be <br />used, where possible, in order to give about 0.5 inch of soil <br />cover over the seed. <br />- Seeding will take place from November 1 - April 30, in order to <br />take advantage of available soil moisture conditions during <br />germination and early growth. <br />- Seeded areas will be fertilized with 40 lbs. available nitrogen <br />and 40 lbs. available phosphorus per acre. <br />- Hay mulch will be applied at a rate of two tons/ac., and either <br />mechanically crimped or netted to reduce blowing. <br />- The access road will be left intact upon completion of mining <br />and reclamation to afford access to the area. <br />- The property will be protected from grazing by livestock during <br />the first two years following reclamation (the area property is <br />presently fenced and livestock will be prohibited from entering). <br />- The reclaimed slopes will be visually monitored and additional <br />measures will be taken, if necessary, to control erosion (e.g., <br />contour furrows, repair of any eroded areas, etc.). <br />- In addition to the existing fences, a 5-strand barbed wire <br />fence will be constructed along the slope above the westerly side <br />of the pit wall. <br /> <br />
