Logan Wash Mine TR No. 4 <br />2. Scarify the mine bench surface (do not disturb areas already showing natural <br />revegetation). <br />3. Broadcast seed mix on the scarified surface. <br />4. Apply hydro-mulch and tackifier to the surface. <br />The materials to be applied to the bench surfaces include those in the following table. <br />Bench Reclamation Materials <br /> <br />Material Application Rate <br />Ibs er acre <br />Seed mix (Table 1) 17.5 <br />Mat fiber hydro-mulch 2,000 <br />Guardian® (tackifier) 60 <br />No fertilizer Burin seedin - <br />No shrub transplanting _ _ - <br />The Guazdian® tackifier will be applied with the hydro-mulch materials. No fertilizer will be <br />applied during seeding. Fertilizer may be applied in subsequent years if needed. <br />Current Status <br />The mine benches associated with the Lower and Upper Dumps were regraded and seeded <br />during the summer of 2003. The Research Mine Bench is approximately 30% seeded (in areas <br />not expected to be impacted by potential future regrading). <br />3.2 Roads (Area 13) <br />Roads remaining to be reclaimed include the main mine access road (Area 13), including the <br />upper and lower mine bench roads, and the lower access road. Both of these roads involve <br />reclamation on BLM land and Occidental property. <br />The initial Plan stated that reclamation of the mine access roads would include ripping the road <br />surface, pulling-up fill slope material and placing the fill an the road bed against the cut slope, <br />broadcast seeding of the seed mix introduced in Area 1, applying straw mulch at a rate of 2,000 <br />lbs per acre, and the installation of jute matting over the mulch. In addition, the Plan called for <br />shrub transplanting and seeding in accordance with procedures and seed mix outlined for Area 1 <br />reclamation. <br />The estimated acreage of access roads requiring reclamation is 1.4 acres on the Lower Access <br />Road, and 4.7 acres on the Upper Access road, including the road sections on the Research Mine <br />Bench, Lower Bench, and Upper Bench. <br />Proposed Reclamation <br />In areas where mine access roads aze under aright-of--way agreement with the BLM, OOSI will <br />consult with BLM regarding their preferred reclamation methods.
