<br />G. Application Method. The application method will be by seed drilling. Drill <br />spacing will be 7"-12", planting depth will be '/:'-3/4". A straw mulch will be <br />spread and crimped into the soil at a minimum rate of 4,000 pounds per acre. <br />Mulch will stick 6" out of the soil to control wind and water erosion until grass <br />becomes established. Trees and shrubs will not be planted since this will be <br />reclaimed for Rangeland purposes. <br />H. No Structures or water features will remain after reclamation. <br />Erosion Control. Manure will be spread on the prepared surface at the rate of 20 <br />tons per acre; or nitrogen (Nj and phosphorus (P205) fertilizer will be applied <br />and incorporated at a rate of 40 lbs. per acre each. Time of application should <br />be immediately prior to seeding. If manure is applied, the manure will be of a <br />type that has 60% or more, by weight, heavy chunks 5 inches or more in <br />diameter. Granular or powdery manure will not be used. If nitrogen and <br />phosphorus are applied, a native hay or straw mulch will be spread and crimped <br />into the soil at a rate of 4000 lbs. per acre after fertilizing. Mulch will be crimped <br />into the soil in such a way that 6 inches of mulch protrudes from the soil surface. <br />These measures will help control wind and water erosion until the grass becomes <br />established. <br />J. Reclaimed areas will be protected from grazing and trampling until the seed is well <br />established (generally a minimum of two years from the time of seeding). Weeds <br />will be controlled by mowing as appropriate during seedling establishment. <br />Long-term erosion control will be accomplished by maintenance of the specified <br />vegetation on the landfill and maintenance of the drainage structures and contours. <br />K. Post Closure Site Maintenance. Post closure maintenance will be performed, as <br />needed, based on routine inspections of the site. Inspection of the site will include <br />checking for: <br />• surface soil cracking; <br />• ponding; <br />• erosion; <br />• proper slope; <br />• proper drainage; <br />• erosion of channels; <br />• monitoring station conditions; and <br />• vegetative cover conditions. <br />L. Hydrologic Effects. Not applicable in this case. After reclamation there will be no <br />detrimental hydrologic effects, no off-site drainage, proposed future land use is <br />Rangeland. <br />
