RECLAMATION PLAN <br />EXHIBIT E (cont) <br />FERTILIZER <br />The operator may have to apply fertilizers to the seedbed <br />before planting to enhance the natural nutrients in the soil. <br />Topsoiled areas may also be tested during the beginning of the <br />second year and fertilizer added accordingly because the soils <br />may lose their nutrients rapidly. Usually the NRCS recommends <br />Nitrogen (NZ), Phosphorus (P20.) and Potassium (K) to enhance <br />growth so if needed their recommendations will be used. <br />SEEDBED PREPARATION <br />When the backfilling and slope shaping is complete the soils <br />will be spread. The seed bed will be smoothed of large clods and <br />worked until moderately fine. The surface will be left fairly <br />rough where seed is to be broadcast. <br />SEEDING TIME <br />The grass seed will be planted betwe <br />30 and (before the first freeze and after <br />given year.
