P' Revegatation of the disturbed bank areas will be accomplished in the following manner: Topsoil accumulated along the ponds will be reapplied to the areas to be seeded at a depth of six to twelve inches, and graded as to create a final topography appropirate to the final land use. If backfilling is needed waste fines and overburden materials will be used and compacted for stability and to prevent leaching of toxic materials. All grading shall be done in a manner to control erosion and to protect areas outside the affected lands. All refuse and acid-forming producing materials that have been mined shall be handled and disposed of in a manner that will control unsightliness and protect the drainage system from pollution. Seeding will be completed within one year after operations of each phase or within the next planting season after compleation.

Each seedmix coresponds to a Range Site developed by the Soil Conservation Sereice. The first seedmixture is recomended for all Range Sites because o:. its easy vegatation establishment.
