The revegetation should consist of the native species as •-ii ~ identified in the existing environment. Most grasses at:d ;~ ~ forbs can be seeded, whereas some of the brush species would j ~ require planting or transplanting clumps from the area ad- ii 'i jacent to the tract. j An EPfRIA study is currently underway on reclaimed mine land, '~ on the Kerr Coal site. [dithin nag years reliable site speci- fie data relating to a, b, and c above will be availab]c. Some flexibility should be allowed in the specific rec7ama- 'I tion stipulations dealing with the rate of. fcrrilirer per. ~~ acre, the'exact: seed mi.:cture and the snow fancies requirumants ~'l I until the EPIItIA study has some. conclusive results. : ~ b.
