Also the seeds of these two specie should be broadcast seeded in advance of drill seeding the other species in the mix. Affirmed, and Thank-you for the kind remark. c) in Exhibit L- Reclamation Cost Estimates, Table L-1 Revegetation Seed Mixture Costs contains a footnote which states the "Species described subject to change without notice as applied to affected lands. The Division cannot accept this. However, minor alternations of the mix, for the purpose of research and the evaluation of performance of various species may be allowed contingent upon review and approval by the Division. Major alternations to the mix will require a Technical Revision. Affirmed. 4) Exhibit L- Reclamation Costs Overall the applicant has given a thorough description of disturbed area, recoiling seed mixes and other cost related items.
