Reclamation P3an 1. Helio meris multiflora was formerly called Gymnolomia multiflora and, at an even earlier time, called Viguiera multiflora. 2. Tall wheatgrass and Russian wildrye comprise a very small portion of the seed mix of otherwise all native species. They are included to take advantage of their early vigor in stabilizing revegetated sites and improv- ing the soil surface environment for the establishment of the slow 3eveloping native species. Both tall wheat- grass and Russian wildrye are bunchgrasses and pose no threat to native species by vegetative expansion. Weep- ing alkaili grass (Puccinellia distans) is a native species. In irrigated cropland,alfalfa will be replanted at the rate of five pounds per acre. Soils 1. A topsoil balance calculation has been performed. This recalculation is shown in Table 4.4-SS and indicates that there will be enough topsoil to reclaim all areas to an average depth of eighteen inches, including those . areas where no topsoil will be salvaged. The adjusted totals are reflected on Pages 2-34 and 3-2 of the appli- cation. 2. It is not specified on Page 3-1 of the application that "two feet of nontoxic, noncombustible cover material" will precede the two feet of "best available material" on the refuse pile. The Division is, by virtue of 4.10.4 (4), given the au- thority to "allow less than" the arbitrary four foot minimum of cover material on a reclaimed refuse pile. Less than four feet of material can be allowed based upon physical and chemical analysis that will show that the revegetation requirements of 4.15 can be achieved. Analyses of material will logically take place after the material is available, which should clear the way for a Division stipulation in this regard. 3. The 100 year floodplain map (Figure 4.3-45) has been re- vised and clearly shows that no water will reach the top- soil stockpile as was originally anticipated. In fact, the controlling structure of the adequately sized haul road culvert will insure that flood surges will be sta- bilized prior to reaching Salt Creek's downstream struc- tures.
