Parkdale Proiect ~ 5 • Reclamation Permit <br />All samples will be placed in clean polyethylene bags at the time of collection and <br />securely sealed for delivery to the laboratory. All efforts will be made to deliver the <br />samples to [he laboratory as soon as possible. When samples cannot be delivered within <br />24 hours of collection, samples will be air-dried. Approximately 48 hours can be <br />considered a sufficient time for air-dying. Samples will be dried in as dust-free of an <br />environment as is possible. All sample site locations will be noted on a project map. <br />Specific Procedures: Two composite samples, representing the 0 to 6 inch and 6 to 20 <br />inch depths, will be taken from each stockpile constructed. For each set of samples, the <br />average slope and estimated percent coazse fragment content by volume will be noted. <br />Each sample will be analyzed for: <br />• pH • potassium (ppm) <br />• texture • electrical conductivity (mmhos/cm) <br />• percent organic matter • lime estimate <br />• NH4-N and NO3-N (ppm) • sodium adsorption ratio, if necessary <br />• phosphorus (ppm) <br />Accompanying each composite sample will be a brief discussion on the area from which <br />the sample was collected. The discussion should include comments concerning: <br />• plant species to be established, <br />• type of seedbed prepazation techniques to be implemented, <br />• type of mulching practices to be employed, <br />• approximate slope, <br />• any special problems or conditions, <br />• past and future land use considerations. <br />Fertilizer Broadcastine: Fertilizer will be broadcast over the seedbed using hand- <br />operated "cyclone-type" seeders or rotary broadcast equipment attached to construction <br />or revegetation machinery. All equipment used will be equipped with metering devices. <br />Fertilizer application will take place prior to f-mal seedbed preparation treatment to <br />ensure the incorporation of fertilizer into the seedbed. Fertilizer broadcasting operations <br />will not be conducted when wind velocities would interfere with even fertilizer <br />distribution. <br />Fertilizer will be applied at rates commensurate with recommendations resultant from <br />seedbed material sample analyses. The most soluble phosphorus fertilizer material <br />should be selected for use. <br />2.5 Seedbed Preparation <br />General Guidelines: The following general guidelines apply to soil replacement over the <br />project azea as a whole. During resoiling operations, soil will be redistributed in a <br />manner which: (1) achieves an approximate uniform thickness consistent with safety <br />
