The applicant has <br />been assured that your recommendations have been adopted io the seed mix <br />used in the application. <br />14. Your plan proposes two types of mulching to be used in revegetation and <br />indicates that straw or native hay mulch will be used on all areas except where <br />slopes are steeper, in which case hydromulch will be used. Provide a slope break <br />point that will determine which type of mulch will be used and a map or <br />discussion which will indicate to the Division where in the operation each type of <br />• <br />t~ <br />
