Whenthat depth has been reachedthe overburden <br />will be replaced in relation to extraction. The overburden and topsoil will be replaced at 6"-12" and <br />sloped to a 3H:1 V ready for seeding. <br />(b) Maximum gradient of reclaimed slopes (horizontal :vertical) <br />The maximum gradient on reclaimed backslopes will be 3H: 1 V to accommodate the rangeland use <br />proposed by the land owner/applicant. <br />(c) Measures that will be taken to vegetate the site: <br />(i) The growth media will be replaced at a depth of 6" to 12" and the backslopes <br />finished at 3H:1 V. The pit will be mined from the east side proceeding up-hill to the west side. The <br />top of the hill will be lowered and contoured for seeding. See maps. <br />(ii) Time of seeding, seedbed prepazation, type, application rate and soil <br />incorporation, method of fertilization application. Seeding is preferred and proposed if at all <br />possible between May 1 and prior to November 1. Reshaping will be done using the saved topsoil <br />at a depth of 6" to 12" all the slopes shall be at 3H:1 V. The topsoil will be spread and smoothed but <br />not hard packed. Seed will be drilled spacing at 8". Seeding rates normally used are as follows: <br />RECOMMENDED SEED MIXTURE <br />S ecies Varie #/APES <br />Little Bluestem Pasture 1.75 <br />Blue Grama Hachita 0.75 <br />Sideoats Grama El Reno 2.25 <br />Western Wheatgrass Barton 6.00 <br /> Total PLS 10.75 <br />
