~r Methods to be used for reclamation sampling will be similar to the <br />techniques used for baseline data collection or other sampling <br />methodologies previously approved by the Division. <br />4.15.2 USE OF INTRODUCED SPECIES <br />EFCI plans to utilize several seed mixtures to establish vegetation in <br />areas disturbed by the Southfield mining and related operations. These <br />seed mixtures are presented as Tables 33 and 33a, in Section 2.05.4, <br />Reclamation Plan. <br />Several introduced species have been included in the proposed seed <br />mixtures. These species include: <br />o Intermediate Wheatgrass <br />o Crested Wheatgrass <br />o Cicer Milkvetch <br />L Introduced species included in the seed mixtures are desirable and <br />necessary for effective vegetative re-establishment on disturbed areas. <br />Topsoil stockpiles, diversion ditches, sedimentation pond embankments <br />and other similar areas require rapidly growing species that will <br />quickly stabilize these areas. Given the immediate need for rapid <br />stabilization, and proven effectiveness of the selected species, and <br />increased emphasis on introduced species is justified. These species <br />meet specific requirements of applicable State and Federal regulations <br />addressing introduced species and are not noxious or poisonous. <br />Further discussion of species selection and justification for use of <br />introduced species is included in Section 2.05.4, Reclamation Plan. <br /> <br />4.15-2 Revised 5/28/02 <br />Minor Revision No. 45 <br />
