• 3.8.3 Topsoil Replacement <br /> Topsoil from the three topsoil stockpiles will be used as cover soil in preparation <br /> for revegetation. Due to the gravelly nature of the topsoil materials, spreading <br /> with dozers will result in topsoil depths between 4 and 8 inches. Dozer <br /> spreading is preferred where slopes allow. Steep fills will be topsoiled using <br /> limited hoe casting along the conveyor route. Cut and fill slopes of indurated <br /> bedrock and steep rocky sections between Stations 111+00 and 126+00 will not <br /> be topsoiled. Surface roughness for plant microsites and water retention are <br /> objectives of the topsoil replacement. <br /> 3.8.4 Revegetation <br /> Revegetation for grasses, legumes, and forbs will follow specifications for interim <br /> revegetation outlined in the previous section. Where slopes are less than 3H:1V, <br /> • contractors may elect to drill seed portions of the conveyor corridor. Seeding <br /> rate for these sections will be 30 pls. per acre. Mulch may be crimped or <br /> tackified where drill seeding is performed. The seed mix used in final <br /> reclamation is outlined in Table 5. <br /> Appendix G, which is keyed to the Plan map in Exhibit C, shows areas where <br /> trees and shrubs will be planted as a component of this plan. Appendix G also <br /> provides acreages for the affected lands and a summary of reclamation tasks <br /> that will be performed. The designation of revegetation areas generally follows <br /> the forest zone delineation presented in Table 1 of Exhibit J. <br /> • <br /> 28 <br /> January 16,1998 <br /> Vlan Coo <br />
