i.e., slopes 4:1 or less, to minimize erosion before seeding and to <br />maximize vegetation establishment after seeding. Stockpiles will be <br />adequately designated with signs. Topsoil shall not be used as pipeline <br />padding or mixed with spoils, <br />3. Whenever possible, salvaged topsoil will be applied directly to <br />recontoured areas, reducing to the greatest extent possible, long-term <br />topsoil stockpiling. <br />4. Topsoil stockpiles and exterior cut and fill slopes of evaporation ponds <br />will be seeded, as soon as possible, with the following interim <br />reclamation seed mix to enhance viability of stockpiled topsoil and to <br />minimize potential erosion problems with both stockpiles and evaporation <br />ponds: <br />Pounds Pure Live <br />Species Variety Seed/Acre <br />Grasses <br />Pubescent wheatgrsiss Luna 4 <br />Thickspike wheatgrass Critana 2 <br />Forb <br />Alfalfa Ladak * 2 <br />* preinoculated <br />5. Wherever possible, at least 12 inches of topsoil will be reapplied to <br />disturbed areas after recontouring. When topsoil availability precludes a <br />12-inch application rate, as much topsoil as is available will be applied, <br />but in no case will reapplied topsoil depth be less than 6 inches. <br />6. Reclamation will be initiated as soon after disturbance as possible, or as <br />directed by the authorized officer. <br />1. Surface disturbing activities shall not be performed during periods when <br />the soil is too wet to adequately support equipment. If equipment creates <br />ruts in excess of 3 inches deep, the soil shall be deemed to be too wet to <br />adequately supportequipment. Hud blading is not considered an <br />alternative to meeting the criterion in this stipulation. <br />8. Blading of vegetation or surface leveling of the area between wells <br />comprising a well pair will not be allowed without prior documented <br />authorization from i:he authorized officer. <br />9. The designated operator/lessee will be responsible for monitoring <br />reclaimed areas for at least three complete growing seasons after final <br />reclamation work is completed. Monitoring will continue to be required <br />11 <br />
