E-15 <br />• important than the application of fertilizers. However, soils <br />that are stored for even relatively short periods of time lose <br />their fertility and may need to be amended with fertilizers. <br />Soil fertility in the project area appears to be adequate for <br />reclamation purposes. <br />Generally, fertilizer application with precipitation of less than <br />12 inches per year yields very poor results. Furthermore, <br />application of nitrogen fertilizer with inadequate spring <br />moisture may have s depressing effect on grasses. Researchers <br />have concluded that. fertilizer applications in the 8 to 12 inch <br />precipitation zone were generally uneconomic or detrimental. <br />• In the project area, an application of 800 lbsfacre of 5-10-5 <br />fertilizer is expected to produce positive results. This <br />fertilizer rate is typically used for cultivation of dry land <br />wheat. Fertilizer will only be utilized after the third growing <br />season and determination that desired plant species are <br />established and fertilizer is necessary to meet vegetative <br />production or species mixture goals. <br />E.4.3 Well Field and Plant Decommissioning <br />Production and monitoring wells associated with the well field <br />will be plugged and capped in accordance with procedures <br />described herein and permit stipulations. Since only the lower <br />• portion of the well casings will be cemented in-place during <br />
