nutrients will favor the development of the cool season species. If the decomposition rate is faster than expected then the warms season species will be favored. Secondary seeding can be helpful in increasing the density when the overall seeding success rate is low to moderate. Secondary seeding will only be done if the initial seeding does not produce the desired density -about four plants per square foot at the end of the first growing season. Secondary seeding, if needed, will be done during the next planting season. Spot seeding, using the broadcast method, will be used to enhance the density in localized areas were initial seeding did not produce the desired density. Spot seeding, as with secondary, seeding will be accomplished during the next planting season. Topsoil stockpile protection will be by broadcast seeding. The following seed mixture will be applied to stockpiles expected to be in place for more than one growing season.

Because this property has been in the ownership of the permittee for a long time, it is unlikely any historical features of any kind resulting from activities prior to the current owner (pennittee) exist on the property. Timetable and Disturbance Categories: Reclamation will occur on a continuing basis and will be controlled by the disturbance categories describe in the mining plan (exhibit D). It is expected that regegetation of any particular area will be developed to the point of bond release in five or fewer years after planting. However, it is possible that adverse weather may result in south facing slopes taking longer to develop.
