Topsoil stockpiles will be seeded to the same seed mix <br />recommended for the general azea. Upon completion of the mining, slope should be returned to a <br />2:1 or flatter slope as natural topography dictates. Any topsoil overburden will be spread ove'f the <br />flatter aeeas and reseeded with the following seed mix. Depending upon fluctuating annual <br />Precipitation, reseeding may be necessary.
