<br />We estimate that upon completion of the mining operation there will be the <br />following areas requiring seeding: <br />SIDE SLOPES <br />REQUIRING <br />SEEDING <br />PIT FLOOR <br />REQUIRING <br />SEEDING <br />TOTAL AREA <br />REQUIRING <br />SEEDING <br />2.1 <br />16.3 <br />18.4 <br />See Map F.1 for a final reclamation plan of the area. <br />No overburden exists on site. A very narrow tense of topsoil ranging from 0" to 6" <br />is present. As stated in the mining plan, all salvageable topsoil will be stockpiled <br />and spread across the disturbed areas. Finished topsoil thickness will depend on <br />availability but are expected to be less than 3". <br />All areas shall be seeded in accordance with the following seed mixture and rates <br />as recommended by the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service: <br />SPECIES RATE (PLS/ACl <br />Siberian Wheatgrass 5.5 <br />Crested Wheatgrass 5.0 <br />Pubescebt Wheatgrass 9.0 <br />Russian Wildrye 5.0 <br />Indian Ricegrass 6.0 <br />Seed drilling will be the method used. <br />No mulch shall be applied. <br />No trees or shrubs will be planted. <br />
