The following revegetation procedures are anticipated: <br />• Grass seed will typically be planted in unfrozen soil between October t and April 30. <br />• Grass seed will be planted with a grass drill, or where necessary, with a broadcast seeder. <br />• The proposed seed mix and application rates in pounds of pure live seed per acre are <br />described on the following pages. <br />^ The area will be mulched, as stated in the reclamation cost estimate and recommended by <br />the Soil Conservation Service, with 4000#/acre of grass hay or straw. <br />• Weed control practices will be implemented as required. <br />The above procedures may be modified as conditions dictate. <br />iii. Fertilization -types, mixtures, quantities, and time of application; <br />The type and application rate of fertilizer shall be determined based on a soil test at the time of <br />final reclamation. <br />iv Revegetation -types oitrees, shrubs, etc.; <br />Please refer to the Reclamation Plan Map for the types, quantities and location of trees and <br />shrubs to be planted. <br />v. Topsoiling -specify anticipated minimum depth or range of depths for those areas where <br />topsoil will be replaced. <br />Topsoil will be uniformly placed and spread on all areas disturbed by the mining above the <br />anticipated high water line. The minimum thickness shall be 12 inches above the surrounding <br />finished grade. <br />vi. Weed control -the stockpiles will be broadcast seeded, and will be incorporated into our <br />weed control program. Weed control consists of monthly inspections and, if necessary, <br />chemical treatments in the applicable fall and spring seasons. <br />If a significant invasion of noxious weeds occurs, the area will be mowed periodically for <br />control. Weeds will be mowed before they go to seed during the first growing season. <br />Mechanical control will be used as a first priority. Chemical methods will be used only if no <br />other alternative produces acceptable results. <br />SW TKO Joint Venture, LLC. -Adams Sand and Gravel Mine -112 Reclamation Permit Amendment Page 17 <br />
