(2) No forest planting is planned. This is not consistent with the reclamation plan of <br />rangeland. <br />(3) The operators/applicant and landowner choose to have this site reclaimed as <br />rangeland and recharge basin, therefore, all seeded slopes will be 3H:1 V or flatter. <br />Seeding will be accomplished by grassland drill equipment, where feasible, and <br />broadcast in other areas. <br />(4) The local Soil Conservation District will be consulted to ensure the best possible <br />revegetation scheme. <br />(5) The site will be prepared to provide the best chance of grass being established by <br />doing the following as recommended by the local Soil Conservation office: <br />Seedbed Preparation: The seedbed should be well settled and firm, but friable enough <br />that seed can be drilled at the recommended depth. Soils that have been compacted <br />by traffic or other equipment should be tilled (deep-chiseled or ripped, if necessary) to <br />break up restrictive or compacted layers, and then harrowed and rolled or packed to <br />prepare the required firm seedbed. If the seed is to be broadcast, then the seedbed <br />should be settled and fairly firm, but left rough to catch the seed and allow some <br />coverage by soil when tracked in by heavy equipment or harrowed and packed into the <br />surface. Avoid seedbed preparation when the soil is wet to prevent compaction of the <br />seedbed. Planting depth less than (t)one inch. Drill spacing 8 inches. <br />(6) Noxious weeds are not a problem on this site, however, if noxious weeds do invade <br />this site, a weed control program will be implemented as soon as possible to stop the <br />spread of the noxious weeds. A portion of the reclamation cost will be devoted to this <br />item. <br />(7) It will not be necessary to construct fire lanes or access roads for the express <br />purpose of fighting fire. <br />
