Fiscus Pit Soil, Fertilizer, Mulch, and Re-Seed Plan <br />Seed mix: <br />BUffalO Grass (Texoka, Sharps Improved) 4.5 lbs. /acre <br />Little Bluestem 3.5 lbs./ acre <br />$IdeoatS Grama (Vaughn, Butte, Niner, EI Reno, Haskell) 2 IbS. /acre <br />BIUe Grama (Hachital, Covington) <br />4.5 lbs. /acre <br />Sand Dropseed <br />0.5 Ibs /acre <br />Total: 15 Ibs pls/acre <br />**Other addition: Mycorrhiza to coat the seed at time of planting. <br />Soil Preparation: <br />The mining plan includes stripping of topsoil from the area to be mined. This <br />topsoil will be segregated from other overburden and stockpiled for use in <br />reclamation (see mining plan Exhibit). North Fiscus pit reclamation will include <br />spreading and discing-in the stockpiled topsoil over disturbed areas. The <br />adjacent Fiscus pit site (1/2 mile to the south) has re-vegetated successfully <br />using the stockpiled topsoil removed from the mined area. At this time no <br />additional topsoil no soil amendments are is anticipated to be needed. However, <br />Weld County Public Works has access to topsoil and soil amendments, manure, <br />etc. should these materials be needed. <br />Fertilizer: <br />The adjacent Fiscus pit site (approx. 1/2 mile to the south) has re-vegetated <br />successfully. At this time no additional fertilizer or soil amendments are <br />recommended for the North Fiscus site. <br />Mulching: <br />After the disturbed area is reseeded, straw mulch will be crimped in at a rate of 2 <br />tons/acre. <br />Prepared in consultation with: Tina Boonton, BS, MA, <br />Weed Supervisor ,Weld County Public Works <br />M:/Dave/FiscusPermits/DMG permit/fiscus Pit seed mix 2008.doc <br />
