The applicant's justification for <br />this is that fertilization prior to seeding will encourage undesirable <br />weedy species to im ado the reclaimed_ite. The Division agrees wire this <br />contention in part. However, because phosphorous is relativel]- i;nmobile <br />and does not readil•_• leach into the soil, it is best to incorporate it <br />into the soil prior to seeding. The following stipulation is therefore <br />necessar}': <br />7. TOPSOIL *fUST BE ANALYZED FOR FERTILIZE F. ELE?•~NTS (1d,P,K) PF,IOP, 70 <br />SEEDING.
