<br />~ks and Gesso, LLC <br />After final grading, 6 inches of topsoil will be placed on all disturbed areas. <br />Contour furrows will be placed on any slopes to reduce erosion and encourage <br />stable plant growth. Topsoil will be disced, prior to seeding, if it has become <br />compacted. <br />Revegetation <br />All surface areas disturbed by mining activities will be topsoiled and drill seeded <br />for final reclamation with the seed mixes shown in Tables E-1. This seed mix <br />has been developed based on recent correspondence with the US Department of <br />Agriculture, which recommended the mix for use on a similar site. The seed mix <br />specified in Table E-2 is for use in areas requiring a rapidly growing seed mix <br />and will be used if a temporary topsoil cover is needed. <br />Area surrounding the water storage facility will be mowed for at least two years <br />after seeding to help establish regenerating stands of grasses and to control <br />weeds. Seeded areas will be mulched with straw or hay, as needed. Fertilizer <br />will be applied to areas of the site where poor nutrient availability is indicated by <br />failure of grasses to become established. <br />Reclamation Schedule <br />Reclamation will generally follow mining by about 6 months; i.e., when mining is <br />nearing completion in Area 1, claystone material will be ripped from the floor of <br />the pit and backfilling to create slopes and a liner. Backfill will occur clockwise <br />around the excavated area and will be completed, with all reclamation activity, <br />approximately six months after mining has been completed. <br />124 Estates -Regular 112 Application 01029.WD <br />124`" Estates Partners Iz August 2001 <br />
