Fertilization will be as per NRCS recommendations. <br />(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, therefore, all slopes will be 3H:1V or flatter. Seeding will be accomplished <br />by grassland drill equipment, where feasible, and 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 <br />enough that seed can be drilled at the recommended depth. Soils that have been <br />compacted by traffic or other equipment should be tilled (deep-chiseled or ripped, if <br />necessary) to break up restrictive or compacted layers, and then harrowed and rolled <br />or packed to prepare the required firm seedbed. If the seed is to be broadcast, then <br />the seedbed should be settled and fairly firm, but left rough to catch the seed and <br />allow some coverage by soil when tracked in by heavy equipment or harrowed and <br />packed into the surface. Avoid seedbed preparation when the soil is wet to prevent <br />compaction of the seedbed. Planting depth less than (1} one inch. Drill spacing 8 <br />inches. <br />(6) Noxious weeds are not a problem on this site, however, if noxious weeds do <br />invade this site, a weed control program will be implemented as soon as possible to <br />stop the spread of the noxious weeds. A portion of the reclamation cost will be <br />devoted to this item. <br />(7) It will not be necessary to construct fire lanes or access roads for the express <br />purpose of fighting fire. <br />
