<br />f Not. Applicable. <br />g. Fertilizer or other soil amendments shall be added if the test plot indicates it will have a <br />substantial lasting benefit on the revegetation. Beet dirt and other suitable soil additives may <br />be used, as available, (but will not be relied upon) to enhance plant growth on less steep slopes <br />and flat lying areas. <br />h. Vegetative piles shall be incorporated into the overburden to promote plant growth. <br />a. Land shall be revegetated with native species exclusively in at least an equal extent of cover to <br />the natural vegetation of the surrounding azea, The applied seeds will include a mixture of <br />Little Bluestem, Big Bluestem, Switchgrass, Side Oats Grama, Blue Grama, Western Wheat <br />Grass, Yellow Sweet Clover, Green Needle Grass, Sheep Fescue, Lewis Flax, Sunflower, <br />Mountain Mahogany, Indian Rice Grass and Blue Bunch Wheat Grass. Seed and mulch will <br />be applied using hydroseeding or conventional planting methods and will be monitored and <br />replanted as necessary to achieve a cover no less than that which is naturally occurring. <br />Approval will be sought prior to making any substitutions in the seed mix. <br />b. Not applicable. <br />c. Not applicable <br />d. A test plot has been established to determine the greatest probability of success in plant <br />establishment. Attention is being given to biological faaors such as proper innoculation of <br />legume seed, appropriate seeding and transplanting practices. <br />e. Site preparation shall include ripping, mulching or hydroseeding, soil amendments and <br />fertilizers it the test plot indicates substantial benefits can be derived. Irrigation can not be <br />considered as no water exists in the area. <br />f Prohibited noxious weed species will be controlled by chemical spraying or other approved <br />methods. <br />g. Not applicable. <br />h. Planting will not be implemented until use of the area has ceased. <br />The land is composed entirely of stone and is subsequently very low in plant nutrients. If the test plot proves <br />that plant life can not be sustained, planting will not be done in accordance to Rule 6, Paragraph 6.5, H., V. <br />The maps that follow, depicting the diverse landscape proposed in the afore mentioned text, will indicate <br />various areas of post reclamation contours, such as 2H:1 V slopes, 4H: I V slopes highwalls, cliffs and <br />canyons. These maps may not be exactly how the post mining contours will appeaz, but will generally <br />describe the spirit of intended diversity of the land and will comply with the afore mentioned text. <br />
