3.3.2 Revegetation Techniques <br />The approved revegetation plan emphasizes native species planting resulting in a diverse, <br />permanent, effective plant community capable of self-regeneration. The current seed mix is <br />presented on page 115, Section 2.05.4, of the Application. <br />Manure is to be spread on the topsand. The approved seed mix will be drill seeded through the <br />manure mulch. Small azeas that require reseeding may be broadcast (PAP, Sec 2.05.4, page 115, <br />line 39). <br />Two windows for seeding aze March 15 to June 1 (spring) and September 15 to December 15 <br />(fall) (PAP, Sec 2.05.4, page 115a, lines 4-6). <br />A stubble mulch (such as sorghum) may be seeded in the spring or fall prior to seeding of the <br />permanent seed mix (PAP, Sec 2.05.4, page 115a, lines 10-15). <br />Hay/straw mulch (PAP page 115a), hydromulch and tackifier (PAP page 115a), soil amendments <br />(PAP page 115a, and compost products (PAP page 115c) may also be used. <br />No irrigation is proposed (PAP, Sec 2.05.4, page 115c). <br />The site is currently inspected at least quarterly for pests and diseases. No infestations of pests or <br />weed have been identified. (PAP, Sec 2.05.4, page 115c) <br />Grazing is prohibited during the first two yeazs of vegetation establishment on reclaimed areas. <br />Grazing may be allowed thereafter. Grazing will not be allowed to interfere with vegetation <br />sampling for monitoring or bond release purposes, and eligible areas will not be grazed during <br />the growing season prior to sampling. (PAP, Sec 2.05.4, pages 115c and 115d) <br />Vegetation monitoring is described on page 115d (Sec 2.05.4) of the PAP). Revegetated azeas of <br />three or more growing seasons aze monitored for success standards of cover and production. <br />Eligible areas aze sampled in the last two consecutive growing seasons prior to final bond <br />release, but not earlier than yeazs nine and ten of the extended liability period. <br />3.3.3 Mining Techniques, Directions, Mine Life, Production Rates <br />No further extraction of coal is anticipated at the site. The estimated mine life is through 2010 <br />[PAP, Sec 2.05.4(2), page 117, line 22]. <br />3.3.4 Surface Handling of Coal (crush, screen, wash) <br />There is no surface handling of coal at the site, and none is anticipated. <br />3.3.5 Disposal of Waste <br />Permit Renewa104 Findings <br />30 August 2001 <br />Page 11 of 25 Pages <br />
