And if nitrogen is applied at the time of initial seeding, won't that tend to stimulate weed establishment? My <br />understanding of the rationale for nitrogen fertilization being done in subsequent seasons is that this will allow the <br />seeds to germinate, then stimulate growth of beneficial vegetation with the nitrogen applications. <br />If we go with the multi-year fertilization approach, how many seasons of nitrogen application should we bond for? <br />How many soil tests should we bond for? How much do soil tests cost? Since the initial fertilization requirements <br />will be based on the results of a soil test, we do not know at this time what the fertilization rates and mixtures will <br />be, so we should assume for the purpose of estimating the costs that the P-K mixture and rates specified in the <br />current plan will be used over the entire affected area, and that the urea applications in subsequent seasons will <br />be as specified in the current plan for as many years as Car{ thinks they are needed. <br />I think this gets us a more logical and coherent plan than the one described in AM-01; seven applications on the <br />same spot? What's that all about? <br />Let me know what you think. <br />-Allen <br />-----Original Message--•-- <br />From: Crosby, Erice <br />Sent: Wednesday, October 23, 2002 12:02 PM <br />To: Sorenson, Allen <br />Cc: Mount, Carl <br />Subject: Henderson Bond <br />Allen, <br />One of the clarification points on the reclamation cost estimate is the use of fertilizer on various locations of <br />the Henderson Mine & Mill. W hat I used to determine the frequency was the reclamation cost estimate <br />provided by the operator in AM-01. The use of fertilizer varies from 1 application up to 7 applications in the <br />same spot. After talking this over with Carl, we think that they should revise the fertilizer frequency to only 1 <br />application everywhere. He doesn't see a need for more than one application.....and it will lower the bond <br />amount. <br />Do you have an objection to me suggesting this change to Henderson? I want to give Anne a call and tell her <br />to include it in the ongoing TR. Let me know. Thanks -Erica <br />
