(d) Once stockpiled the topsoil will be rehandled <br />as little as possible. <br />(e) Necessary measures will be taken to assure the <br />stability of replaced topsoil on graded slopes. <br />(f) Soil test will be taken of topsoil before <br />postmining placement to determine quality. <br />(g) When topsoil is replaced it will be done in <br />as even a manner as possible. Fertilizer or other soil amendments <br />shall be added, if required, as soil tests indicate. <br />6.5 Revegetation <br />(a) All revegetation will be accomplished in a <br />manner that will establish a diverse, effective, and long-lasting <br />vegetative cover utilizing available native species. <br />(b) Choice of reclamation "forest". The forest <br />is pinyon/juniper and oak brush (see SCS report Exhibit J)but <br />mainly oak brush. The pinyon/juniper are very sparse. For this <br />reason, and also the difficulty of obtaining pinyon/juniper seedlings, <br />oak brush will be utilized. <br />(c) No grazing of domestic animals is allowed in <br />this area. Reclamation will be directed toward wildlife habitat. <br />(d) The revegetation plan will provide for the <br />greatest probability of success in plant establishment and <br />vegetation development by considering environmental factors such as <br />seasonal patterns of precipitation, temperature and wind; soil <br />texture and fertility; slope stability; and direction of slope <br />faces. Similar attention shall be given to biological factors <br />such as proper innoculation of legume seed, appropriate seeding and <br />transplanting pactices, care of forest planting stock. <br />-3- <br />
