(Item 3: <br />May 31, 1995) <br />- After smoothing out any surface irregularities, a liming agent will be <br />spread over the ripped embankment slopes at a rate of 15 tons per <br />acre. (Item 1) <br />- The liming agent will be mixed to a depth of 20 inches. (Item 1) <br />3. After ripping the three sloping sides of the tailings embankment will be <br />covered by a 3 to 4 inch layer of stockpiled topsoil. (Item 1) <br />4. Additional lime and fertilizer will be incorporated into the topsoil by raking <br />and harrowing to a depth of 5 additional tons per acre, while nitrogen, <br />phosphorus, and potassium will probably be applied at a rate of between 400 <br />and 500 pounds per acre during the final preparatory work. A seed mixture <br />containing both native grasses and introduced species will then be planted at a <br />rate of around 40 pounds per acre by hydroseeding, or by employing a Briton <br />grass seeder. Finally, wood fiber mulch will be spread over the <br />embankment.... (Item 1) <br />Golder Associates <br />
