• TEMPORARY STABILIZATION OPERATIONS <br /> The purposes for using temporary stabilization seed mixtures have <br /> been detailed above under "Temporary Stabilization Mixture". The <br /> operational procedures for planting the temporary stabilization seed <br /> mixture are described herein. Surface roughening may or may not be used in <br /> the process. When contour furrowing is used, it will be the first step in <br /> the process. When land imprinting is incorporated into the planting <br /> process, it will be accomplished after seeding and mulching (when used) <br /> have been previously completed. Cover crop mulching will not be used in <br /> association with temporary revegetation efforts; the use of straw, hay or <br /> equivalent mulches may be used in the establishment of temporary <br /> revegetation, but is not mandatory. When used, mulches will be applied <br /> after the seed has been planted. Temporary stabilization seed mixtures may <br /> be applied using either broadcasting or drilling methods. Combinations of <br /> these seeding methods will not be required, since all of the species used <br /> in the temporary stabilization seed mixture are smooth and medium to large <br /> sized. Seed will be applied at a rate of approximately 15 P.L.S. per <br /> square foot. Temporary stabilization seed mixtures may be planted at any <br /> time of the year that ground conditions allow the safe conduct of such <br />• operations, with the fall planting period being the preferred time for <br /> planting (August 15th through November 15th). Fertility testing and the <br /> addition of soil amendments will not be conducted on temporarily <br /> revegetated areas. <br />4.d.4 MONITORING <br />Revegetation monitoring is regulatorily required to determine if <br />reclaimed areas are progressing satisfactorily towards meeting bond release <br />criteria. Two distinct types of monitoring are required during the 10-year <br />liability period, interim and final. Interim monitoring is undertaken to <br />determine if development of the revegetated community is progressing <br />satisfactorily. If development is deemed unsatisfactory, interim <br />monitoring provides information useful in planning supplemental corrective <br />measures for the reclaimed area that are needed to adjust revegetation <br />development in order to meet final bond release criteria. The purpose of <br />the second phase of monitoring is to determine that revegetation bond <br />release criteria are adequately met. <br /> <br />Renewal-3 9.9-19 June 13, 1997 <br />
