Fertilizer or other soil amendments shall be added, <br />if required in the Reclamation Plan or as the soil tests indicate. <br />(8) Vegetative piles shall be removed from the area ~r utilized <br />in accordance with the Reclamation Plan. <br />116(a)(t) 3.1.10 Revegetation <br />(1) In those areas where revegetation is part of the Lunation <br />Plan, land shall be revegetated in such a way as to establish diverse, <br />effective, and long-lasting vegetative cover that is capabl of self- <br />regeneration without continued dependence on irrigation, soil endments <br />or fertilizer, and is at least equal in extent of cover to the natural egetation <br />of the surrounding area. <br />(2) If the Operator's choice of reclamation is forest planting, <br />they may, with the approval of the department, select the type f trees to <br />be planted. If the Operator is unable to acquire sufficient plan ' stock of <br />desired tree species from the state or elsewhere at a reasonable st, they <br />may defer planting until planting stock is available to plant su h land as <br />originally planned, or they may select an alternate method of r Lunation. <br />tt6(a)(a) (3) If the Operator's choice of recLtmaton is for rang ,the land <br />shall be restored to slopes commensurate with the proposed use and <br />shall not be too steep to be traversed by livestock. The area may seeded <br />either by hand, or power, or by the aerial method. <br />(4) The revegetation plan shall provide for the greatest <br />probability of success in plant establishment and vegetation devel pment by <br />considering environmental factors such as seasonal patterns of p ipitation, <br />temperature and wind; soil texture and fertility; slope stab lity; and <br />direction of slope faces: Similar attention shall be given to iological <br />factors such as proper inoculation of legume seed, appropriate g and <br />transplanting practices, care of forest planting stock, and res 'ction of <br />grazing during initial establishment.
