Rde 2: Permitr <br />Reclamation Equipment <br />The following equipment may be used for reclamation on the Lorencito Canyon Mine permit area: <br />• Scrapers; <br />• Dozers; <br />• Farm tractors; and <br />• Hydroseeders <br />The following implements may be used with the farm tractor: <br />• ripper/subsoiler; <br />• chisel plow; <br />• disk; <br />• drill seeder; <br />• cyclone broadcast seeder; <br />• mulch crimper; and <br />• harrow/cultipacker. <br />• Seedbed Preparation <br />Seedbed preparation will be conducted immediately afrer grading, subsoiling and topsoiling, and <br />fertilizer application. On level to gentle slopes, the seedbed will be disked and harrowed along <br />the contour to break-up large clods. On steeper slopes, rocky sites, or on areas too narrow to <br />negotiate equipment, the soil surface will be left in a roughened condition. An irregular seedbed <br />will provide microsites for plant germination and reduce soil movement on steeper slopes. <br />Another stabilization technique which will be utilized to minimise erosion is contour furrowing. <br />Contour furrows will be employed along the highwall reclamation area, and will be installed prior <br />to seeding. Atypical cross-section of a contour furrow is depicted in Figure 2.05.4-19, Design <br />of Typical Contour Furrow. <br /> <br />PERMIT.rtv\AU6u~~ II, 199'1 2.05-63 (revised S/11/97) <br />
