Topsoil placement: <br />Four inches of topsoil were placed over the regraded site. This material had to <br />be hauled into the site since no topsoil was available for salvage. Haulage of this <br />material was coordinated with the resloping activities since equipment access <br />was eliminated in the process. <br />Seed Mix: <br />The seed mix is shown in Figure 1. In all, a total of 27 different species of <br />grasses, (orbs, and shrubs were seeded. All the shrub and some of the forb and <br />grass seeds were hand collected from the Deserado Mine area. <br />Seeding: <br />Seed was broadcast onto freshly placed soils prior to crusting. Numerous <br />sessions of seeding occurred to coincide with the progression of the earthwork. <br />Seed broadcast on such a seedbed finds irregularities in the surface and is <br />covered by soil through natural weathering. Mechanical means of covering the <br />seed would have reduced the surface roughness. <br />Blue Mountain Energy, Inc. 5 Staley Gordon/East Portal Area <br />
