. Soil in stockpiles (Table 00.1) _ 73.1 acre-feet <br />Mean replacement depth 0.75 feet <br />Based on the random check of soil replacement on the "A" pit azea, which indicated an average <br />replacement depth of 2.2 feet over approximately 160 acres and the remaining calculated average <br />replacement depth, the overall average replacement depth should be close to the original projected <br />depth. The soil balance aril! be updated annually as reclamation proceeds. <br />REVEGETATION <br />• Seeding and Shrub Planting <br />A total of 234.6 acres were seeded/planted in 2004. The majority of the area was seeded using Seed <br />Mix #1 (see Table 04.2, Seed Mix #1, for constituents). <br />New shrub sites were established in the "A", `B", and "D" Pit azeas. The sites were prepazed by <br />roughening the soil with small dozer push-ups in an attempt to inuease snow water retention. These <br />azeas were hand seeded with Concentrated Shrub Seeding Mix #6 (see Table 04.3, Seed Mix #6, for <br />constituents). <br />Shrub Plots. Approximately 29,800 seedlings and 400 one gallon sized aspen sapliags were planted at <br />II-W, locations of the sites aze shown on the attached 2004 Reclamation Map. Following is the <br />breakdown indicating the number of seedling species planted in each azea. <br />"A" Pit -Aspen Plot <br />• Aspen 400 <br />Serviceberty 1000 <br />Chokecherry 500 <br />1900 <br />`B" Pit Shrub Site <br />Serviceberry 5200 <br />Mtn.
