• 4.06.5 Reconditioning <br />Following backfilling and grading of the area, soil sampling and testing <br />of the backfilled material will be done to determine the nutrient status <br />of the plant growth medium in relation to the approved post-mining land <br />use and the revegetation requirements of Section 4.15. <br />A sample will be collected from the upper two feet of material. The <br />material will be analyzed according to the soil sampling techniques <br />recommended by the Division. A sampling will probably include analysis <br />for nitrate/nitrogen, phosphorus, organic matter, and potassium. The <br />results obtained from these tests will be compared with the nutrient <br />levels recommended for the plants which are to be reestablished as part <br />of the post-mining land use described in Section 2.05.5. If nutrient <br />deficiencies are encountered, fertilizers or other soil conditioners <br />will be applied. <br />• All testing will be performed by a qualified lab, using only standard <br />soil test procedures approved by the Division. Prior to the use of any <br />fertilizer or other soil conditioners, approval will be received from <br />the Division. <br />c <br /> <br />4.06-3 <br />
