as zzoKs on-Site Activities The reoommerded alternative sP.ci;~*+t control strategy for the Bourg Mice is to oontimie ~;~;*~ reclamation practices, coupled with slope length and slope shape modifications. This study showed that past rx+rl motion prdCti.CeS significantly reduced soil erosica~ when compared to tmdistini~ed azeas of similaz slope. The t,rriial~,riYx9 soil lass averaged 4.57 tans/acre/year, while the reclaimed soils had a calculated soil lass of 2.99 tons/acre/year. When the erasion control practice factor (P) is included, reclaimed soil erosion is decreased to 1.74 tans/acre/year. The erosion control practice factor is due to contour furrow plowing and seedir-g. The proposed alternative sediment control strategy has been designed to be cronservative and will include ooattour furrow plowing with seeding as well as benches to limit slope lerxlth. Soil erosion from the reClalm2d sOilS W111 be minimi2ed t0 the extent possible. On-site activities include: 1) Topsoils will be replaced on all overiJUrden materials. The final p~tp~g Will ~ desicr~d tp minimi Ze COIIVPX ar?aS, and mini mi Ze the opportunity for c3~armelized flow. The final contours proposed here have the same volume as the original final contour map. 2) Benches will be cut with a slight inslope (2-4 peroaJtt) on all reclaimed soils. These benches will limit slope lerxJth and i*Y^*pa~ lrifiltratlon (Table 8). ~TM'}+~ will be cut by walki*m a Cat normal to the slope. The benches will follow the oontas and are not meant to convey water. The benches will be disoontiruous because of varying slopes. The final oontatrs wi11 have an average slope of 6 percent. The gropoeed slope length will be 200 feet, which is conservative. The lower slopes may have longer slope lengths. 3) Fall fertilizing and mulching will be as planned. 4) Dri11 seeding normal to the slope wi11 be as planned.
