RECLAMATION PLAN:
Soil 60 S. 27th Avenue
Conservation Brighton, CO 80601
Service Telephone: [phone]
1) Slopes: During mining operations, cut or fill slopes
should not exceed 3:1 slopes (3 horizontal to 1 vertical).
Cut slopes should be scarified a minimum of three inches
deep prior to placement of any soil material.
2) Top Soil: During mining operations, topsoil should be
stockpiled to be used in reclamation of the area.
Stockpiled topsoil should be protected from wind erosion.
After mining operations are completed, the area should be
shaped and graded with no slopes exceeding 3:1 above water
level and for at least ten feet below water level. Below
ten feet, slopes could be 2:1. After scarifying, topsoil
should be spread six inches to one foot thick over any
disturbed area above water level, except where buildings may
be built. A seedbed should be prepared before the soil is
seeded to adapted vegetation.
3> Cover Crop: After topsoil has been spread over
disturbed areas and a seedbed has been prepared the
reclaimed area should be seeded to a cover crop.
Recommendations are to use a hybrid forage sorghum. This
seeding should be done in May or June at the rate of 10
pounds per acre of Pure Live Seed (PLS) in 7" to 12" row
spacings. Grass can be seeded directly into the forage
sorghum. If this is not done, then after seeding, the area
should be mulched.
4) Mulching: After seeding is completed, approximately
4000 pounds per acre of straw or hay mulch should be
applied. This mulch sF~ould be anchored. One method is to
use a straw crimper and "crimp" the mulch into the soil.
This should help to control erosion until the grass becomes
established. See attached SCS Standards and Specifications
for Mulching.
S) Fertilizer: A soil test should be taken to determine
fertilizer recommendations before seeding grass. In the
absence of a fertilizer test, then forty pounds of nitrogen
and forty pounds of phosphorous per acre should be applied
just prior or during seeding the area to grass. The
fertilizer should be mixed into the soil.
