Normally, hydraulic <br />seeding and mulching is accomplished by a one-step method. A <br />two-step method will be used on these steep slopes. First, <br />water, fertilizer, and seed will be mixed in a tanker and sprayed <br />on the slopes. Secondly, Weyerhaeuser Silva-Fiber mulch will be <br />hydraulically applied at the rate of 2000 lbs per acre. These <br />wood cellulose fibers protect the seed and help maintain soil <br />stabilization while germination and seedling growth take place. <br />This protective mulch holds the seeds on the soil, while insulat- <br />ing against temperature extremes. <br />Since there is little if any topsoil in the canyon where <br />this dump is located no stripping and stockpiling will take place. <br />In order to reduce the hazard of downstream siltation due to <br />normal precipitation hazards, the native rocks and talus will <br />be used to create one or more small impoundment structures at the <br />toe of the dump designed to trap surface flowiand allow these <br />waters to infiltrate into the alluvium in thelbottomtof this ~Q <br />r1 :.~ ~ D <br />canyon. o-\ r ~'~~'~ <br />Reclamation of the entire dump will be commenced within on /n -~y~ <br />cJ~ c~et~Nc r' ~ ~ -S <br />~ L'/'ivt ~ ~' <br />
