spread and crimped into the soil at a minimum rate of 4,000 pounds per acre. Mulch will stick 6" out of the soil to control wind and water erosion until grass becomes established. Trees and shrubs will not be planted since this will be reclaimed for Rangeland purposes. H. No Structures or water features will remain after reclamation. Erosion Control. Manure will be spread on the prepared surface at the rate of 20 tons per acre; or nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P205) fertilizer will be applied and incorporated at a rate of 40 lbs. per acre each. Time of application should be immediately prior to seeding. If manure is applied, the manure will be of a type that has 60% or more, by weight, heavy chunks 5 inches or more in diameter. Granular or powdery manure will not be used. If nitrogen and phosphorus are applied, a native hay or straw mulch will be spread and crimped into the soil at a rate of 4000 lbs. per acre after fertilizing. Mulch will be crimped into the soil in such a way that 6 inches of mulch protrudes from the soil surface. These measures will help control wind and water erosion until the grass becomes established. J. Reclaimed areas will be protected from grazing and trampling until the seed is well established (generally a minimum of two years from the time of seeding). Weeds will be controlled by mowing as appropriate during seedling establishment. Long-term erosion control will be accomplished by maintenance of the specified vegetation on the landfill and maintenance of the drainage structures and contours. K. Post Closure Site Maintenance. Post closure maintenance will be performed, as needed, based on routine inspections of the site. Inspection of the site will include checking for: • surface soil cracking; • ponding; • erosion; • proper slope; • proper drainage; • erosion of channels; • monitoring station conditions; and • vegetative cover conditions. L. Hydrologic Effects. Not applicable in this case. After reclamation there will be no detrimental hydrologic effects, no off-site drainage, proposed future land use is Rangeland. M. Reclamation Costs. Anticipated reclamation costs associated with the proposed pit area are shown as cost per acre. All costs include labor. The area of the pit to be reclaimed is 20.13 acres.
