<br />Doc Date:12/11/2001 <br />Section 816.111 (b) Continued. <br />IIIlIIlIl111!llllll <br />Implementation of the detailed revegetation plan described in <br />Sections 780.18 (b)(5)(i) and 816.133 will assure that all dis- <br />turbed areas, except approved water areas and surface areas of <br />roads that are part of the postmining land use, will be promptly <br />reseeded to achieve a permanent vegetative cover of the same sea- <br />sonal variety native to the area of disturbed land, <br />The productivity levels of the existing area as described in Sec- <br />tions 779.19 and 779.22 (a)(2) will be restored as the seeded vege- <br />tation matures. The productivity levels of sites reseeded in the <br />McCallum 011 Field immediately west of the proposed Kerr Mine Area <br />indicate the productivity levels which might be expected at various <br />stages of reclamation. These productivity levels are set forth in <br />Table 27, Summary for Revegetated Drill Pads, and Table 29, Summary <br /> <br />of Vegetation Types. <br />SIB Section 816.112 Revegetation: Use of introduced species. <br />Introduced species, may be substituted for native species only 1f ap- <br />proved by the regulatory authority under the following conditions: <br />(a) After appropriate field trials have demonstrated that the intro- <br />duced species are desirable and necessary to achieve the approved post- <br />mining land use; <br />(b) The species are necessary to achieve a quick, temporary, and stabi- <br />lizing cover that aids in controlling erosion; and measures to establish <br />permanent vegetation are included in the approved plan submitted under <br />Sections 780.18(b)(3) and 780,23. <br /> <br />(c) The species are compatible with the plant and animal species of the <br />region; <br />816-145 <br />
