When samples cannot be delivered within <br />24 hours of collection, they will be air-dried in a "dust free" environment for about 48 <br />hours or as recommended by the laboratory. Samples will be analyzed for: <br />pH potassium (ppm) <br />texture electrical conductivity (mnrhos/cm) <br />percent organic matter lime estimate <br />NH4-N and NO3-N (ppm) sodium adsorption ratio, if necessary <br />phosphorus (ppm) <br />2.7 Fertilizer Broadcasting <br />Fertilizer application concentration will be based on recommendations from the <br />laboratory sample analyses. 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 will be equipped with metering devices. <br />Fertilizer application will take place prior to final seedbed preparation treatment to ensure <br />• the incorporation of fertilizer into the seedbed. Fertilizer broadcasting operations will not <br />be conducted when wind velocities would interfere with even fertilizer distribution. <br />2.8 Seedbed Preparation <br />During the placement of any topsoil or admixtures, it will be placed to <br />1) achieve an uniform thickness <br />2) minimize compaction and erosion and <br />3) preserve biological, physical, and chemical properties. <br />Soil will be applied by moving truck to minimize grading requirements and compaction <br />from multiple equipment passes over the azea being reclaimed. All final grading will be <br />completed along the contour or perpendicular to the prevailing wind direction, where <br />safety conditions permit, to minimize erosion and maximize site stability. Following <br />grading, the surface will be prepared for topsoil application by utilizing a disk, harrow or <br />chisel plow depending upon site conditions and availability. Ideally, soil will be applied <br />on areas to be seeded less than 30 days prior to seeding. <br />Seedbed material will be spread to an even depth per material directions. Seedbed <br />materials containing excessive moisture will not be handled or spread to avoid excessive <br />compaction. The seed bed surface will then be left in a roughened condition to inhibit <br />erosion and provide a receptive surface to subsequent reclamation procedures. <br />• 9 <br />
