Fertilization <br />Soils will be tested after respreading and prior seeding to determine the necessity of <br />applying fertilizer. Fertilization rates will be based on the recommendations of the local <br />NRCS or agricultural extension office and will reflect the nutrient requirements of the <br />species in the seed mix. Fertilization may be delayed up to three growing seasons after <br />initial planting to minimize weed growth in the reseeded azeas. <br />Reveeetation Success Criteria <br />The criterion for evaluation of revegetation success for the approved post-mining land use <br />is vegetation cover. This vegetation cover must be sufficient to control erosion. Based on <br />sampling at other mines sites in the azea and the pre-mining vegetation studies, a <br />revegetation cover standazd was established. <br />The following will be the revegetation success criteria for the Cazbon Junction Mine: <br />Vegetation Cover <br />Vegetation cover of the reclaimed area will be successful when vegetation cover is 90 <br />percent of the cover standard of 40 percent with 90 percent statistical confidence. <br />Herbaceous Production <br />There is no herbaceous production revegetation success standazd. <br />Woody Plant Density <br />There is no woody plant density revegetation success standard. <br />Species Composition <br />There is no species composition revegetation success standard. <br />TRO8, TRll (v 1.0) 5-46 Revised 9/97, 8/02 <br />
