r <br />• 6.5 Revegetation <br />(1) The proposed revegetation seed mi:; has been shown to es- <br />tablish a d1Ve1-Se. effective and long-lasting vegetative <br />cover for similar operations in the area. It has proven to <br />be capahle of self-regenet-ation without continued dependence <br />on irrigation or fertilizer. It will 6e equal ar superior to <br />the natural vegetation of the surrounding areas. <br />(2) Forest planting is not the applicant's chore of recla-- <br />matiori. Ranyeland has been chosen, to be consistent with <br />surrounding areas. <br />(3) The applicant's choice of reclamation is rangeland. <br />Slopes will be commensurate with this, anti the 3H:1V <br />bac4::slopes will not be too steep to be traversed by live- <br />stoc{::. The area will be seeded using an appropriate drill. <br />(d) As stated earlier, topsoil will be seyregated and stock- <br />piled. There will be no spoil to be compacted or graded. <br />The following seed mi;<ture will be used for the areas of soil <br />types b and 9, as per S.C.S. recommendations: <br />'/. 16 s .
