This information presumes the affected area will be <br />reclaimed for rangeland and/or wildlife i~se. <br />1. Topsoil should be removed and stockpiled prior to gravel pit operation. <br />2. At reclaimation, after shaping and grading have taken place, the topsoil <br />should be uniformly a_nn_lied over the site Topsoil should be at least 6 <br />inches deep. <br />3. The site should be fertilized with at least 30 noi~nds o.f nitrogen and 40 <br />pounds of phosphate per acre. <br />4. Seedbed should be smooth and firm. <br />5. Grasses should be seeded from November 15 through April 30th the <br />following year. <br />6. Grasses seeding should be done with a crass drill, where possible <br />d.rilling_ should be done across slope. Drill grass 1/2 to 3/3 inch deep. For <br />seeding recommendation see enclosed CO-ECS-S form. <br />7. Reclaimed area should be mulched according to the enclosed Standard and <br />Specification Mulching sheet.
