Domtar Gypsum • ~ ----m----.~ <br />Coatdate Quarry GOMTAR <br />(N) <br />1988 Annual Report Narrative, cont. <br />Control of animal damage remains to be one of the more formidiable <br />challenges to reclamation success. Several methods of protection and <br />repellent will be trialed in 1989. <br />Biosol, an organic sourced fertilizer and microbe enhancing <br />material, was used for the first time with seedling installation and will <br />be monitored for performance, A surface application for grass establish- <br />went trial is planned for 1989, <br />Reclamation efforts will continue with interplanting in the Gillespie, <br />Iron, Zinc, and Gold Hill Areas and new site development and planting <br />on the Uranium Hill, a highwall pre-reclamation-law area in the Southern <br />End of the Affected Land. 1989 plans include continuing improvements on <br />our irrigation systems and we have already initiated a long term fertili- <br />zation program via fall broadcast seeding of native yellow sweetclover <br />aver all reclaimed areas, <br />Along with the goal of an additional 1600 plants to go in the ground <br />during the 1989 field season, an important goal to be reached in the next <br />year is to evaluate and recommend action on the long term fertilization <br />requirements of the reclaimed land, now approaching 30 acres. <br />Kenneth S.
