harrowing and furrowing.~ontinuous analysis of re-vegetation~cess will determine the best type of preparation which should be used. The seed mixture was selected to vegetate the disturbed areas with a specie consistent with the post mine land use. Seeding recommendations follow: SEEDING -OUTSIDE TOP OF SLOPE SPECIE PLS/AC. Jose Tall Wheatgrass 10.2 Alkalai Sacton 0.6 Yellow Sweet Clover 2.8 Sand Dropseed 0.2 Crested Wheatgrass 4.0 SEEDING -TOP OF SLOPE TO WATER LEVEL SPECIE PLS/AC. Reed Canarygrass 5.3 Red Top 0.3 Seeding will normally be done in the fail and spring when temperatures and adequate soil moisture are present. Seeding will be accomplished by either broadcasting or by using a seed drill. If broadcasting is used seed rates will be doubled. Due to the nature of the overburden and topsoil found in the area, hay, straw or fiber mulch is not considered to be necessary. WEED CONTROL - If necessary, weed control measures will be employed for control of any noxious weed species. Control measures will also be used if the growth of weed species on the reclaimed area threatens further spread of the weeds to nearby areas. In the event that weed control is required, herbicides will be of those that are approved by the Soil Conservation Service. During the removal of topsoil, if an area of heavy seed infestation is encountered, it will be buried as overburden rather than used as a growth medium. STOCKPILE, PROCESS, & STAGING AREA -Once all of the mineral resource has been removed from this area, it will be used as some type of industrial activity. Such as, outdoor storage of construction equipment and supplies. Since the site, in its current state, is well graded, modification to the existing conditions will not be attempted. Enough gravel will be salvaged from the resource stockpiles to cover the entire ground surface within the area with 4 to 6 inches of material . RE ~~ I I425~97 E - 2
