<br />(A line map showing the distribution of the soils and a description <br />of both soils are attached for more detailed information,) <br />There is an existing pit adjacent to the proposed pit which <br />has areas over 20 feet deep. There are no signs that there has ever <br />been standing cvater in the pit, so the water table is apparently <br />quite low all year. <br />TREATi:iEt]T <br />_ \ <br />The area will be reclaimed as~ and. The topsoil should be <br />stockpiled to piovide an adequate rooting zone when the topsoil is <br />replaced following excagation.//////The topsoil sh~o/uld be mixed in with <br />the existing soil to a depth q'f 6 inches.' ~ / <br />The side slopes of the pi t\ should be a maximum of 3:1 and <br />preferably flatter. They need to a mulched with straw and it would <br />be advantageous to mulch the bottom as well. The rate of appli- <br /> <br />cation should be 2 tons of straw per acre (1 lb. per 10 square feet). <br />This will help retain moisture to promote germination and stand <br />establishment, and will minimize erosion. <br />CFertilization will be needed unless a laboratory soil analysis <br />indicates otherwise. D;anure would be preferable, but if commercial <br />fertilizer is used, a rate of 40 pounds of phosphate per acre is re- <br />commended with 40 pounds of. nitrogen per acre. <br />SEED TYPES AND SEEDIt7G RATES <br />Russian Wild Rye <br />5 pounds *PIS/acre <br />Nordan Crested F.'heatgrass 4 poun3e PIS/acre <br /> <br />
