• 3. Reve2etation Plan <br />For both the dryland and new wetland areas, the soil will be disced to loosen the soil. Due to the mild <br />grade, seed can be drilled in both areas in order to ensure a better revegetation success rate. The <br />dryland areas will be seeded with a specially designed seed mix, seen below in Table E-3. Certified <br />weed free mulch will be crimped into the surface at 2000 lbs per acre. The 6H: IV slopes along the <br />north and west sides of the pit will be hydroseeded only. The new wetlands will be seeded with a <br />specially designed mix, seen below in Table E-4. Fertilizer may be added as determined by a soil test <br />at the time of seeding, but will only be used in the areas outside of the wetland footprints. Heavy <br />furrows will be left in the tilled topsoil to provide moisture concentration and shade areas in order to <br />promote better conditions for successful vegetation establishment. Seeding will take place the fall after <br />which a slope has been retopsoiled. Slopes will be regraded, backfilled, and retopsoiled as soon as they <br />are able to be reclaimed, the exception being wetland footprint areas, which will only be hydroseeded. <br />Fall seeding applications will take place between September 1 and October 15 of the respective year of <br />seeding in order to achieve the maximum success in reclamation. <br />• Wetland Footprint Areas <br />The areas shown on Maps C-2 and F as wetland footprints will have a different revegetation plan from <br />the remainder of the pit. In these areas no topsoil, mulch, fertilizer, or fill of any kind will be placed. <br />Only hydroseeding will be placed in these areas. The mild 6H: IV slopes and the closeness of the <br />groundwater level (<2' below the surface) will allow revegetation to succeed without topsoil or mulch. <br />• <br />White River City Pit, August 08 E-5
