<br /> <br />should develop prior to the expected depletion of the <br />quarry in about 80 years, it will be considered at that <br />time. <br />c. All requirements of Rule 6 as applicable to the <br />Boettcher quarry are addressed elsewhere in the exhibits <br />of this application. <br />d. When enough "topsoil" is present to strip, the material <br />will be picked up by scraper and deposited in piles for <br />storage and protection. The piles are seeded with the <br />regular quarry mix of seed, since the soil in these <br />piles will be stored there for many years. <br />It is proposed to broadcast grass seed for revegetation <br />in the following approximate rates: <br />Pubescent Wheat Grass 1.5 lbs. per acre <br />Western Wheat Grass 2.5 " " <br />Blue Gamma 0.5 " " " -~ <br />I c , w- <br />Side Oats Gamma 0.5 " " " ~c~ ,,~ <br />Russian Wild Rye 0.5 " '~~""'~ ~ <br />Rabbit brush and skunk brush are shrubs that rapidly <br />revegetate naturally and are recommnended to supplement <br />grasses. <br />Planting will be in the fall or early spring, dependent <br />upon the moisture conditions. <br />e. For the time-table of reclamation, see the Time Line of <br />Operations. <br />f.

The only planting planned is the grass mix <br />as previously listed. <br />"Topsoil" is scarce on this outcrop.
