-i' ~ ~ . ~ • <br />RECLAPIATION NEEDS <br />FOR <br />SITE iC 2 <br />1. After mining operations t}ie following steps are needed: <br />A. Side slopes should be flatter than 3:1. Slopes of 6:1 <br />or Flatter are much more desirable Eor greater. success <br />in re-establishment of vegetation and operation of <br />equipment. <br />B. Excess water From adjacent areas should not be allowed <br />to flow onto the area unless erosion control practices <br />are implemented. <br />C. Length of slope should be properly controlled to prevent <br />erosion. <br />D. Topsoil is needed on sites having exposed soil surfaces <br />low in organic material, this need increases significantly <br />if the soils are inherently dry sand. Topsoil should be <br />applied after shaping and t111ed to a depth of 6 inches <br />binding topsoil to existing soil. <br />2. FERTILIZATION: -- <br />A. Fertilization of not less than 40 lbs. of nitrogen and 40 <br />lbs. of phosphous should be applied unless a soil analysis <br />indicates fufficient amounts of these elements. <br />Application of fertilizers should be inunediately prior to <br />or at the time of seeding. <br />3. MULCHING: <br />A. Mulching material should be applied immediately before <br />or after seeding. , <br />B. Either of the two mulching methods listed below would be <br />acceptable. <br />1. Grass hay or cerial grain straw should be used at an <br />application rate of 4,000 lbs./ac. of air dry material. <br />At least 50% of the mulch by wieght shall be 10 inches <br />or more in length. Anchor mulch immediately after <br />distributing with a mulch crimper of disc plow. <br />2. Application of feedlot or barnyard manure must be of <br />a type that has 60% or more, by weight, heavy chunks <br />5 inches or more in diameter. 1'lie minimum rate of <br />application shall be 20 tons per acre immediately be- <br />fore or after seeding. <br />4. GRASSES: <br />A. Drill grasses iu with a grassland drill. The following <br />species arc suggested: <br />SEE CO-ECS-S "GRASS SEEDING PLANNED" <br />*P1.S=Pure Live Sced = Bulk lbs.
