<br />The seeding rates aze based upon approximately 80 live seeds per square foot. If <br />drilled, then the rate would be about SO live seed per square foot. These rates are suitable <br />for this medium and this site considering the moisture regime and pattern. <br />Periodic monitoring will occur during the growing season on each newly- <br />revegetated area so that azeas that exhibit any weakness of seeding success or nutritional <br />deficiencies can be identified. If low seeding success is noted, soil samples will be taken <br />and fertilizer added as indicated by the soil test results. Reseeding will be done in the <br />following spring. <br />Reclamation Timetable. The reclamation phases aze an ongoing part of the <br />clay stockpiling process. As mentioned eazlier there will always be less than S8 8S acres <br />ofdisturbed land. As mining is completed in Stega3 the final Stages, the last SO 40 <br />acres will be backfilled, sloped and topsoiled from the existing stockpiles. This process <br />will remove all surface disturbances. Revegetation will complete the cycle. Seeding will <br />be completed prior to the fvst growing season after mining is complete. <br />Reclamation Phases <br />Approximate <br />Phases Years Acres <br />IA & 3 5 211 <br />1A&2B S <br />2A & 2B S <br />2A & 1B 5 <br />1B & lA 5 <br />1B&3 S <br />Totals 30 <br />166 <br />36S <br />306 <br />106 <br />210 <br />1,364 <br />Draft Revision July 1999 <br />16 <br />
