Topsoil will be available from <br />stripping and will also be removed from Area C to obtain the depth <br />required. Topsoil placed on terrace slopes will be bonded to tiie <br />slope to prevent slippage. <br />Revegetation <br />Revegetation on slopes will be accomplished cvith the following seed <br />mixture: <br />Seed <br />Lbs.

Seed will be drilled. Soil tests will be made before <br />reseeding to determine appropriate rate of fertilization. The intent <br />is to reclaim land and return it to agricultural production as soon <br />as practicable.
