r REVEGETATED: As was reported last year, about 3 acres has been placed in a revegetation status. This land is west of Academy and is the area labeled as being "reseeded", as shown on last year's map. No other land has actually been placed in final revegetation because no other land is available for final revegetation treatment. RULE 2.41(4): THE SPECIES OF VEGETATION PLANTED, THE LOCATIONS AND APPROXIMATE DATES OF PLANTING. No planting was done last year. Please refer to the 1986-1987 annual report for a description of what was planted on the area which was reseeded. RULE 2.41(5): THE TYPE AND APPROXIMATE QUANTITY OF FERTILIZERS, ORGANIC MATERIAL, OR SOIL CONDITIONERS USED AND LOCATION OF USE. No fertilizers or soil amendments were applied as no seeding occurred. No additional fertilizers or soil amendments were added to areas which were previously seeded. These areas are doing well without the benefit of such materials. RULE 2.41(6): AN APPRAISAL OF THE SUCCESS OF RECLAMATION EFFORTS, AND IN THE EVENT OF FAILURE OF ANY EFFORTS, A SHORT NARRATIVE ON THE SUSPECTED OR DETERMINED CAUSE OF SUCH FAILURE. Former revegetation efforts mainly involved the small area near the entrance to the operation as well as the area disturbed by the relocation of the Fountain Mutual Ditch. The latter work was done by Castle Concrete, but because it occurred on the Daniels Sand Pit #2 permit area will be reported here. The entrance area to the operation has benefited from the additional seeding. It has shown a good increase in plant diversity as well as some increase in density. Increasing diversity was the primary goal of the reseeding as density was already good. The new ditch location is showing continued signs of development. The fact the slope faces east is of considerable benefit in aiding the development of the vegetation, but as is usually the case in sandy soils, development is slow.
