• preparation may consist of light or shallow tillage operations using a <br />combination of disk harrow and spike-tooth harrow. The final tillage <br />treatment will be performed by a shallow chisel plow on level contour, or by <br />using a lister or rangeland pitter. The purpose is to leave an uneven, <br />erosion-resistant surface which will aid water infiltration and enhance <br />germination and establishment of seeded and planted species. Any existing <br />vegetation piles will be removed. <br />• <br />~J <br />E.4.4 Seeding Procedures <br />The seed mix application rates and techniques described below are based on <br />previous reclamation experience in the area, as well as consideration of <br />local environmental features of soil, slopes, aspect, elevation, and <br />precipitation. The suggested planting mixture presented below was designed <br />to provide rapid establishment of a diverse array of demonstrably successful <br />species. Use of this, species mixture will result in a diverse, effective <br />vegetative cover capable of self-regeneration.
