<br />• These seeding rates assume that a drill will be used for seeding. Seeding will generally be completed <br />during November through April, preferably in the late Fall. <br />In order to ensure successful planting, mulch will be used. Straw mulch at approximately two tons <br />per acre will be used. Overburden soils will be tested for primary nutrients (nitrogen, phosphorous <br />and potassium) prior to selecting an appropriate fertilizer, which will be used at the time of seeding. <br />The mixture for water edges will add Reed Canary grass to the above species mix at the rate of 0.5 to <br />1.0 Ib per (,000 lineaz feet of shoreline. The grass seed will be planted with a grass drill equipped <br />with depthbands and press wheels. Seed will be planted approximately one-half inch deep. <br />In shallower azeas, mazsh and aquatic plants will establish themselves. These plants will probably <br />include species of Cattails, Sago Pondweed, Widgeongrass, Wildmillet, and Bullrushes. Over time, <br />the aquatic plane will spread azound the entire shoreline and help buffer against shore erosion from <br />wave anion and water level fluctuation. <br />The purpose of the revegetation is to establish a healthy native plant community. A significant <br />invasion of pest weeds would rob desired plants of nutrients and moisture and would be contradictory <br />to the proposed reclamation. Therefore, selective azeas will be mowed periodically to control weeds. <br />The weeds will be mowed when they reach a height of 12 inches during the first growing season. <br />Along limited portions of the shoreline of the newly created lakes, clusters of trees and shrubs will be <br />planted to create a more natural appeazance of the lakes. Trees and shrubs will be selected from the <br />recommended list below: <br />C_J <br />IS <br />~~A <br />
