<br />material. A rather large nearby project being planned now <br />may solve the problem for some time. <br />Rule 2.41(2): No areas have been fully reclaimed <br />in the last year. Most reclamatin efforts were on the <br />visual berm. <br />Rule 2.41(3): Last year the visual berm was <br />benched and seeded. The grass growth was generally quite <br />good, but erosion did a considerable amount of damage. <br />During the winter, a large amount of soil was acquired from <br />a nearby road project. The soil mainly came from a Pinyon- <br />Juniper forest and contained some riprap-sized rock, logs, <br />branches and a large quantity of organic matter. This was <br />placed on the berm and mixed with the surface layer of the <br />waste to raise the pH of the topsoil, which was somewhat <br />acidic in nature, prior to the mix. <br />In early May of 1983, the berm was planted with <br />about 450 trees and shrubs. Species planted included Rocky <br />Mounain Juniper, Russian Olive, a few Cottonwoods in wet <br />areas, Hansen Rose, Sumac and Nanking Cherry. Near the end <br />of the permit year, the area was seeded with grasses and <br />legumes. <br />Rule 2.41(4): The seed mixture used on the soil/waste <br />mixture was different from that used on waste alone: <br />Page 2 of 3 <br />
