• Revision p I -Page 9 nl'30 Stockpiled topsoil material [hat was stripped and stockpiled in [he buffer areas prior to the mining operations, will then 6e spread across the reclamation area. Topsoil material shalt be spread to provide a minimum depth of four inches. If, in the course of importing fill [o the site, better quality plan growth medium soil is obtained, the imported soil should be used to replace the equal amount of stockpiled topsoil, and the replaced soil should be used az backfill material. Next. all topsoil area will be mulched with certified weed free mulch at a rate of I to I.5 tons per acre. The topsoil and mulch will [hen be disked and prepared for seeding. Seeding opetations should be scheduled to occur in early April or August. Seeding will be completed by drilling or broadcast method. If broadcast method is selected ,the seeding rates shall be doubled, and the seed shall be incorporated into the soil with a harrow or morman creaser. Seed used for reclamation shall consist of the following: SPECIES PLSR.4TE/ACIP£ °iiOF:N/.Y Jose Tall Wheatgrass 25 70 Alkali Sacaton I l0 Western Wheatgrass 14 ]0 Galleta 13 10 Note: PLS rates listed shall be doubled if broadcast After the area haz been planted, the area shall be fertilized at a rate of300 lbs. per acre, with 21-0- 0 R 0-45-0, or az otherwise recommended by a soil test performed by the Soil Conservation Service. The operator need to implement weed control practices, as required, to eliminate noxious weeds from the permit area. The site will not be 'trriga[ed, as suitable irrigation water sources are not available at the site Part 2 b As discussed above, reclamation proposed for this site, vacant industtiaUcommercial zoned land, is appropriate for the site. The surrounding land uses are primarily industrial commercial uses. The site has aUeady been subdivided into five lots. Parr 2 c 3.1.1 Post-Mining Use The post mining land use will be vacant industriaVcommercial zoned land. 3.1.2 Reclaiming Substituted Land There are no substitute lands proposed with [his project. 3.1.3 Time Limit and Phased Reclamation Mining at this site will be progressive. Backfill placement required for site reclamation work will occur behind the sand and gravel highwall. Topsoil placement, mulching, seeding, and fertilizing activities will be delayed until an area of 10 acres or less in size is backfilled. Reclamation for the 10-acre area is anticipated to require two months to complete.
