Vegetation of the final cap will be in a manner similar to that in the approved <br /> • reclamation plan. The seedbed will be prepared by light discing or harrowing. <br /> Fertilization rates will be determined by laboratory analysis of the growth media. <br /> Following fertilization, the site will be either broadcast-seeded or hydro-seeded <br /> using the established Climax seed mix (or whatever seed mix has been <br /> approved by DMG at the specific time of closure). If broadcast seeding is <br /> employed, straw mulch at a rate of 2 tons/acre will be applied and crimped into <br /> the surface. Hydro-mulch will be applied at a rate of approximately 1 ton/acre. <br /> Since this is a small, generally flat site enhanced with what is expected to be <br /> good quality growth media over a benign substrate, vegetation is expected to <br /> germinate and establish rapidly. <br /> 4.0 LITERATURE CITED <br /> Ford, R.
