The topsoil will be placed on finished slopes as they are made, so that the only amount needed to be <br />replaced at the end of the mining process is 2400 cy for the last 2 cuts. <br />No topsoil will be placed on the staging area because none is available from the site and the post- <br />mining use of this area is industrial/commercial. <br />3. REVEGETATION <br />The staging area of 8.5 acres will be harrowed and broadcast seeded with a mix consisting of the <br />following in order to control erosion: <br />Alkali Sacaton @ 15.0 lbs/acre <br />Inland Saltgrass @ 15.0 lbs/acre <br />This mix will also be used on the upper slopes of the lake that will not be near the water level. This <br />area is 6.3 acres. These two grasses have been proven to do well in the dry lowland environment of <br />the lower Colorado River valley. They will prevent erosion and do provide forage and cover for <br />animals. Therefore, the total area that will be seeded with this dryland mix is 14.8 acres. <br />Certified weed free hay or straw mulch will also be applied at the rate of 2000 Ibs/acre. <br />The topsoiled slopes of the lake will be broadcast seeded for a distance 5 feet below waterline and <br />10 feet above waterline with the following wetland mix: <br />Species Lbs Pure Live Seed per acre <br />Slender wheatgrass 3.0 <br />Basin Wildrye 1.5 <br />Inland Saltgrass 1.0 <br />Gilsonite Pit 10/02 17 <br />
