if fertility problems become evids~n t, soil will, at a minimum, be sampled and analyzed
for pH, particle size, nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and organic matter utilizing
standard techniques. Results of the anatys is will be maintained at the mine site and/or
SCC's Corporate office. If analysis also indicates fertility problems, the appropriate
amendments may be added as a supplement in revegetated areas that indicate plant nutrient
deficiencies. However, the potential competition effects due [o .the resultant flush of
annual plant growth associated with fertilization must be evaluated. Specie competition
and trends will be closely observed and documented where a fertilizer supplement has been
used. This information will be included in the Annual Reclamation Report for Yoast Mine.
