• Revegetation <br />Rule 1.05 <br />Over the life of the mine, three different seed mixtures were used for revegetation purposes. The <br />ini[ial mixture, given in Table 2.05-8, was used from 1979 to 1981 to seed a total of approximately <br />66 acres in the northern portion of the mine area. The second mixture, shown in Table 2.05-9, was <br />toed from 1981 to 1986 in the central portions of the mine area. Final reclamation, which included <br />primarily the southern mine area and miscellaneous disturbed areas, was done in late September <br />and early October using the seed mixture (specified in TR-51 and TR-52) listed in Table 2.05-10. <br />L <br /> <br />TABLE 2.05-8 <br />RECLAMATION SEED MIXTURE 1979 - 1987 <br />Species Variety % of Mix Rate <br />(lbs.
