In the event there is a shortage of topsoil the <br />applicant is agreeable to haul in topsoil from off permit sites <br />in order to fullfill the stockpile obligation. <br />The topsoil storage area. as shown in Exhibit KK, is a <br />flat, stable area within the permit area and away from active <br />mining or surface operations. Compaction and contaminaton will <br />be avoided to the extent possible and measures will be taken to <br />prevent erosion, The perimeter will be ditched to drain into a <br />sump which will prevent drainage into Engleville Gulch. <br />The stored topsoil will be seeded with an effective non- <br />noxious, quick-growing annual and perennial cover plants during <br />the first appropriate growing season after moving into the <br />• storage area. The Soil Conservation Service recommends a <br />temporary cover consisting of 120 pounds of Winter Wheat or an <br />equal amount of Annual Rye to stabilize the topsoil storage <br />area, however the final seed selection must be approved by MLRD. <br />See Exhibit H (f) third page. <br />The disturbed portion of the permit area, which includes <br />the open pits and the ,surface disturbed for the facilities, will <br />be restored to native vegetative cover once reclamation and <br />topsoil replacement has been achieved. The Soil Conservation <br />Service recommends that permanent re-seeding be carried out <br />using eight (8) pounds of Barton Western Wheatgrass and four and <br />one half (4 7/2) pounds of Vaughn or E1 Reno Sideoats Grama, <br />with possibly a trace of Mountain Mahogany shrub to the acre. <br /> <br />3 Rev. 04/05/90 <br />
