affecting seedling development, will be controlled with appropriate chem- <br />icals used to control such weeds after approval by the Division. <br />• <br />The permit area will not be ready for reseeding until the mine is <br />abandoned and graded and dispersed •aith tops:~il. After the coal and mine <br />rock surface layers have been scrapes: up and used for backfillinq the mine <br />portals, no toxic forming materials will seriously inhibit plant growth. <br />After grading and reconteuriag t',--~ mine bench and covering the <br />area with amended, suitable topsoil, `he area will L-e reseeded. <br />After the appropriate yrasses, forbes ar:d shrubs have been pro- <br />cured, the land surface will be roughened, if necessary, to facilitate top- <br />soil adhesion. Some compaction may be necessary prior to roughing the sur- <br />face. Seeding will be drilled or broadcast and raked into the amended top- <br />soil. <br /> Grading and contouring will begin in early spring; topsoiling, <br /> seeding and mulching will follow as per the attached schedule. The follow- <br />. .ing spring shrub stock and trees will be planted on t he 2;1 slopes or less. <br /> Fertilization will be carried out by broadcast during the late spring. The <br /> seed mix will be drilled on the contours using a doub le disc grass drill <br /> with depth bands and packer wheels. The seeding will be mulched with crimped <br /> straw or native grass liay. <br /> Seed aixture.
