<br /> <br /> Rule 6.4 Topsoiling <br /> a. A volume of approximately 18,000 cubic yards has been <br /> determined to be satisfactory as a growth medium. Topsoil <br /> existing on the site is of very poor quality and is not <br /> stockpiled. The growth medium will be applied to prepared <br /> areas as it is removed from the next working area. The <br />i mining, and leveling operation will include dispersing this <br /> material a minimum of 4". Existing vegetation prevents wind <br />' or water erosion until redistribution. <br /> b. A11 woody vegetation has been removed from the site during <br />' previous grubbing operations. <br /> c&d. If it is determined in the future that topsoil stockpiles <br /> will remain for a long enough time period that would allow <br />' vegetation, a fast growing cover will be planted. The type of <br /> cover will be as advised by the local Soil Conservation <br /> Service Official. <br /> The location of designated stockpiles will be in any adjacent <br /> area that will not be mined and is not in the way of any <br />' mining operation. These areas have been included in the total <br /> acreage of the affected area and will be reclaimed in accordance <br /> with the total reclamation plan if used. <br /> e. Overburden will be properly placed on graded slopes to insure <br /> stability. No heavy textured soil surfaces are anticipated. <br />' f. The quality of the medium used for topsoil is discussed in <br /> Exhibit T. <br />' g. The growing media will be replaced evenly throughout the <br /> reclaimed area. Fertilizer will be applied if found necessary. <br /> See next Section for type of revegetation anticipated. <br />' h. Vegetative waste piles have been removed from the area. <br />Rule 6.5 Revegetation <br />' a. Revegetation is a part of the reclamation plan. After back- <br />filling, grading and leveling, seeding will be initiated at <br />the beginning of the first growing season after mining is <br />completed in each area. A11 slopes will 6e seeded by broad- <br />casting with: the following mixture: <br /> Switchgrass .5 lbs.jacre <br />' Alkali Sacaton 1.3 lbs./acre <br /> Western Wheatgrass 4.0 lbs./acre <br /> Yellow Sweetclover .7 lbs./acre <br />'. <br /> <br />
