<br />• 3-9a <br />an increase in the saFety Factor to ].311. It should be <br />emphasized that these saFety factors are not absolute, but do <br />show that the existing slope, which has been historically <br />stable, will be improved upon reclamation. <br />Section CC was selected for this analysis because it exhibits <br />the most severe slope in the area to be reclaimed. The smaller <br />cuts in this same area will be reclaimed using the same <br />techniques as described herein. <br />3.4 REVEGETATION <br />3.4.1 Seedbed Preparation <br />Prior to seeding, the topsoiled surfaces will be ripped if <br />they have become compacted by vehicle or equipment traffic. <br />If broadcast seeding is to be employed, the surface will be <br />left somewhat rough. IE drill seeding is planned, the surface <br />will be worked as necessary with disc, plow, harrow, and/or <br />cultipacker to achieve a smooth, firm seedbed. <br />3.4.2 Seed Mixture <br />The re vegetation seed mixture is listed in Table 3.4-1. This <br />seed mix is a "wide" mix in that it includes species adapted <br />to a considerable range of soil and moisture conditions. <br />Three vegetation types will be disturbed by mining activity. <br />They include Greasewood Shrubland, Shadscale Shrubland, and <br />Juniper woodland. The reclamation seed mix contains many <br />species adapted to environmental conditions of each of these <br />vegetation types. Those plant species bests adapted to post- <br />mining reclamation conditions in the three revegetation sites <br />6/10/83 <br />
