Seeds will be planted with a drill equipped with depth bands and press wheels. The seeded areas <br /> will then be covered with straw mulch at a rate of 4.000 pounds per acre. The straw will be <br /> crimped into the soil to control erosion until the grass becomes established. Seeding will be <br /> done between November 1 and May 1 and as soon as possible after fine grading is completed. <br /> Cattle and horses will not be grazed on the revegetated areas for at least two years so the grasses <br /> can become established. <br /> Wetlands species recommended for Phase 1 include: <br /> Softstem Bullrush <br /> Sloughgrass <br /> Sedge <br /> Trees and shrubs will be planted in clusters as indicated on the Reclamation Plan Map. Each <br /> cluster will contain five to ten trees and ten to twenty shrubs. Trees will be selected from the <br /> following list: <br /> Willow Cottonwood Hackberry Honey Locust <br /> Eastern Red Cedar Rocky Mountain Juniper Ponderosa Pine Scotch Pine <br /> Shrubs will be selected from the following list: <br /> Winterfat Snowberry Native Plum <br /> Sandcherr_v Rabbit Bush Siberian Peashrub <br /> Sumac Lilac Tartarian Honeysuckle <br /> Trees and shrubs will either be nursery grown or native collected stock. The newly planted trees <br /> and shrubs will be watered from a truck for the first several years. <br /> Reclamation will occur as mining progress throughout the life of the mine. During the fall those <br /> areas mined during the past year will be graded with overburden and topsoil. Seeding and <br /> mulching will generally occur in the fall. <br /> E-4 <br /> I <br />
