The material will be stockpiled as it is separated at <br />the washing plant and applied to the excavation slopes as planting soil to <br />a depth of 4 to 7 inches during the reclamation process. The soil will <br />then be worked into the top of the sand by discing. <br />Revegetation will be accomplished by reseeding and by replanting <br />native trees at the site. Reseeding will be done in accordance with the <br />recommendation of the U.

Protective <br />shingles along with a regular watering program by tank truck will be <br />utilized to support the continued growth of the trees. <br />
