• mine in the vicinity of Pond 006 and on cut slopes along road A (see areas identified as <br />Hydroseed on Exhibit 91.3). These areas totaled approximately 7.5 acres. Permanent Seed <br />Mix No. 1 (Volume 13, Tab 22, Permit C-82-057) uas hydroseeded at the broadcast rate for <br />this seed mix. The seed uas mixed in a water slurry containing virgin wood fibre and <br />fertilizer. The hydroseed slurry contained virgin wood fibre at an approximate <br />rate of 500 pounds per acre and fertilizer at a rate of 200 pounds per acre of diammonium <br />phosphate (18-46-0). The sites were then hydromu lched at a rate of 1500 pounds per acre <br />virgin wood fibre with 200 pounds per acre of an organic psyllium based tacking agent. <br />A portion of the cut slope adjacent to Road A between topsoil Stockpile I and J, totaling <br />7.8 acres, was revegetated ui [h Permanent Seed Mix No. 1. where equipment operations <br />allowed, the seed mix was drill seeded at the specified rate using a modified rangeland <br />drill equipped with depth bands. Steep areas, where equipment access uas restricted, <br />were hand broadcast seeded at the specified broadcast rate for the mix. <br /> Tuo small permanently reclaimed areas totaling 2.9 acres were drill seeded ui th Permanent <br /> Seed Mix No. 1 at the specifietl rate . The reclaimed sites, shown on Exhibit 91.3, are <br /> located near the southern end of <br />i [h <br />i <br />t <br />h <br />at at <br />rate of 15 the active <br />d pits. These areas were also cover cropped <br /> w <br />w <br />n <br />er w <br />e <br />a poun s per acre. <br />Temporary revegetation was completed on cut and fill slopes along the tie-across haul <br />road. The cut and fill slopes had previously been seeded, however establishment of <br />perennial vegetation was only partially successful. In late summer 1991, a survey was <br />made of the cut and fill slopes to determine the extent of areas requiring reseeding and <br />species which were performing well under adverse site conditions. The resulting <br />temporary seed mix presented in Table 91.3 was hydroseeded at the broadcast rate <br />specified for the seed mix. The seed was mixed in a water slurry containing virgin wood <br />fibre and for some areas, 18-46-D fertilizer. In some cases, the 18-46.0 fertilizer was <br />broadcast at a rate of 200 pounds per acre on the site prior to hydroseeding. In <br />addition to seed, the slurry included virgin wood fibre at a rate of 500 pounds per acre <br />and the 18-46-0 fertilizer, where required, at a rate of 200 pounds per acre. The sites <br />were then hydromulch ed at a rate of 1500 pounds per acre virgin uo od fibre with 200 <br />pounds per acre of an organic psyllium based tacking agent. Approximately 6 acres were <br />revegetated on [he ti e-across haul road. <br />., <br />. There were no straw mulching operations conducted at the Seneca 11-w mine in 1991. <br />6 <br />
