3-13 <br /> <br />Areas to be topsoiled include the mine bench, the waste rock dis- <br />disposal pile, sediment pond, and the haul road platform areas. <br />These areas total about 9.5 acres; sufficient topsoil is avail- <br />able of top dress approximately an additional 3 to 6 a,~=- <br />This latter area will consist of the lower portions of cuts and <br />upper portions of fills around the mine bench and along the upper <br />end of the haul road <br />The topsoil stockpile area will not require topsoiling because <br />the original topsoil will remain in place. The surface to be <br />revegetated following removal of stored topsoil will be ripped' <br />• to relieve compaction. <br />3.5 REVEGETATION PRACTICES <br />3.5.1 Seedbed Preparation <br />Prior to seeding, the topsoiled surfaces will be ripped if they <br />have become compacted by vehicle or equipment traffic. If <br />broadcast seeding is to be employed, the surface will be left <br />somewhat rough. If drill seeding is planned, the surface will <br />be worked as necessary with disc, plow, harrow, and/or cultipacker <br />to achieve a smooth, firm seedbed. <br />~~ , <br />• `~'~`~ ` <br />~~~wk, ~_ <br />~~~ <br />
