Seeding will normally be done in the fall and/or spring when temperatures and adequate soil moisture are <br />present. Seeding will be accomplished by either broadcasting, or by using a seed drill. If broadcasting is used, <br />seed rates will be doubled. Due to the nature of the backfill material and topsoil found in the area, hay, straw or <br />fiber mulch is considered to be necessary. Mulching will be accomplished with a clean weed- free straw at a <br />rate of 2000 pounds per acre either crimped or "tacified" at 150 pounds per acre. "Biosol" fertilizer will be <br />applied at a rate of at least 1000 pounds per acre. <br />WEED CONTROL - If necessary, weed control measures will be employed for control of any nopous weed <br />species. Control measures will also be usedrf the growth of weed species on the reclaimed area threatens <br />further spread of the weeds to nearby areas. In the event that weed control is required, herbicides will be of <br />those that are approved by the Soil Conservation Service and applied by a licensed herbicide applier. A Weed <br />Control Plan will be utilized as follows: <br />^ Asemi-annual inspection of all disturbed areas by trained weed control personnel. <br />^ Treat any ident~ed infested areas with Tordon 22k Specialty Herbicide. <br />^ Inspect the infested area after 2 weeks and re-apply herbicide as required. <br />^ Inspect the site at 4-week intervals after the second inspection and re-treat as required. <br />^ Any weed control refuse left from previous year's growth will be burned on site. <br />
