• s <br /> <br />EXHIBIT E (Cont'd) <br />in the Reclamation Plan or as the soil tests indicate. <br />Revegetation. Revegetation will be carried out in such <br />a way as to establish a diverse, effective and long-lasting <br />vegetative cover that is capable of self-regeneration without <br />continued dependence on irrigation, soil amendments or <br />fertilizers. The plan is designed to create a vegetative <br />cover that is at least equal in extent to the cover of the <br />natural vegetation of the surrounding area. The use of species <br />native to the area will be included. Since the intended use <br />of the reclaimed land is dryland pasture, the land will be <br />restored to slopes commensurate with such use. Seed will be <br />drilled wherever possible. Where drilling is not possible, seed <br />will be broadcast. The revegetation plan provides for the <br />greatest probability of success in plant establishment and <br />vegetative development by considering environmental factors such <br />as seasonal patterns of precipitation, temperature and wind. <br />Other factors such as soil texture, fertility, slope stability <br />and the direction in which slopes face, have been considered. <br />Weed control is considered in the program. <br />Revegetation Program. The topsoiling program discussed <br />earlier and the revegetation program were devised from recom- <br />mendations prepared by blr. Mark Heffner of Oikos Environmental <br />Services based on his study of existing soil conditions and <br />present vegetation, Exhibits I and J, respectively. <br />The final land use will be pasture because it i5 the most <br />versatile end use for the multitude of future uses that could <br />I occur on the land.
