1 <br />1 <br /> IMPLEMENTATION OF THE RECLAMATION PLAN <br /> Backfilling <br /> After the initial cut in which overburden is deposited to one <br /> <br /> side, this is the process by which overburden from each suc- <br /> ceeding cut is deposited directly into the previously mined <br /> cut. <br /> Grading <br /> This process insures that the backfill is levelled to gradients <br /> i <br />i <br />d <br />i <br /> on, an <br />on, eros <br />on prevent <br />that are conducive to revegetat <br /> meet specifications promulgated in the rules and regulations <br /> of the Mined Land Reclamation Act. <br />' Topsoiling <br /> Studies indicate that saving and redistributing approximately <br /> ti <br />i <br />h <br />f fi <br />t <br />il <br />ill <br />t <br />t <br />l <br />d <br /> revege <br />on. <br />nc <br />es o <br />ec <br />topso <br />s w <br />suppor <br />a <br />rm, se <br />e <br />3-6 <br /> Topsoil in areas to be mined will be stockpiled or redistri- <br /> buted on areas which have been regraded. <br /> Revegetation <br /> TREE AND SHRUB PLANTING PRACTICES <br />' l <br />t h <br />di <br />flo <br />di <br />SPECIES TO BE USED <br />S <br />il <br /> an <br />ar <br />ness, <br />o <br />ng <br />: <br />o <br />, exposure, p <br /> tolerance and other special requirements will be considered when <br /> selecting species.
