I~ <br />3.4.4 Mulching <br />All seeded areas will be mulched with certified, weed free grass hay or straw. <br /> <br />Approximately 2 tons of mulch will be used on each acre seeded. The mulch will be <br />anchored using a tackifier, crimping or a tackifier mixed with wood or wood/paper fiber. <br />The tackifier will be applied in accordance with manufacturer's specifications with <br />consideration of the type and quality of mulch applied, slope, soil conditions and other <br />applicable factors. Use of tackifier for mulch anchoring will be used on extensively <br />roughened areas. Where drill seeding can be conducted, mulch will be anchored by <br />crimping. <br />3.4.5 Planting Times <br />Seeding and planting of disturbed areas will be conducted during the first normal <br />period of favorable planting conditions following final preparation for seeding. Seeding <br />will normally be done in the fall from mid October through mid December. Spring <br />seeding will be done during March or April. Summer seeding will be done from mid July <br />through August. <br />3.4.6 Irrigation and Fertilization <br />3-14 <br />No irrigation will be used on the reclaimed areas. Upon reclamation, an analysis <br />I ~ <br />of the soils will be made to determine the fertilization requirements of the areas <br />involved. If the analysis shows that the soil is deficient in phosphorus, it will be added <br />to the soil prior to seeding. Other elements will be added the year after seeding. <br />Unneeded fertilization will be avoided. Native plants have low potential response to <br />fertilizer and undesirable weed competition is likely. <br />M`Clane <br />Volume 1 <br />(Rev S/04) <br />
