<br />REVEGETATION - The intent of the re-vegetation is the establishment of plant <br />communities consistent with the post mine land use. After topsoil replacement from <br />stockpiles, seed bed preparation and stabilization may include ripping, disking, dragging, <br />harrowing and furrowing. Continuous analysis of re-vegetation success will determine the <br />best type of preparation which should be used. <br />The seed mixture was selected to vegetate the disturbed areas with a specie consistent <br />with the post mine land use.

Seeding will be accomplished by either broadcasting or by using a <br />seed drill. If broadcasting is used seed rates will be doubled. Due to the nature of the <br />overburden and topsoil found in the area, hay, straw or fiber mulch is not considered to be <br />necessary. <br />WEED CONTROL - If necessary, weed control measures will be employed for control of <br />any noxious weed species. Control measures will also be used if the growth of weed <br />species on the reclaimed area threatens further spread of the weeds to nearby areas. In <br />the event that weed control is required, herbicides will be of those that are approved by <br />the Soil Conservation Service.
