- Page 113 <br />Hard Rock/Metal Mining Rule 6 <br />(i) state the thickness of plant growth medium to be <br />replaced. Sample and analyze available soils sufficiently to establish <br />quantity and quality; <br />(ii) state at what point in the mining plan the site will be <br />seeded. Explain how the seedbed will be prepazed to eliminate <br />compacted conditions (e.g., plowed, chiselled, disced). State the type, <br />application rate, and soil incorporation methods of fertilizer <br />application, if any. NOTE: Soil amendments shall only be applied <br />where soil tests indicate nutrient deficiencies for the plant species to <br />be established; <br />(iii) state the grass, forb, shrub and tree species to be <br />planted and the applicable quantities. Specify the quantity of each <br />grass and forb species as pounds of pure live seed per acre; <br />(iv) specify the application method for grass and forb <br />seeding. )f the seed is to be broadcast, the application rate shall be <br />twice the rate requited for seed drilling. If the seedbed has not been <br />adequately roughened prior to seeding, the seed shall be raked or <br />harrowed after broadcast application; <br />(v) if a mulch is needed, specify the kind to be used, the <br />crimping method, and rate of application; and <br />(vi) explain the establishment methods for each species of <br />shrub andlor tree, and state the number of each to be established per <br />acre. <br />(d) Specify which ponds, streams, roads and buildings, if any, will <br />remain after reclamation. These features must be shown on the Exhibit E - <br />Map. If ponds are part of the Reclamation Plan, slopes from 5 vertical feet <br />above to 10 vertical feet below the expected average water level cannot be <br />steeper than 3H:1 V; remaining slope lengths may not be steeper than 2H:1 V. <br />Where wildlife habitat is the proposed future land use, shorelines should be <br />irregulazly shaped to promote a diverse wildlife habitat. The Colorado <br />Division of Wildlife (DOW) must be consulted where wildlife use is the <br />proposed future ]and use. <br />(e) Specify the reclamation treatment of any waste rock dumps, <br />tailittg impoundments, underground [nine openings, ditches, sediment control <br />
