The dryland areas will be disced to loosen the soil. Due to the mild grade, seed can be drilled in <br />order to ensure a better revegetation success rate. The dryland areas will be seeded with the <br />• <br />NRCS recommended seed mix proposed for similar sites in this area. This seed mix can be seen <br />below in Table E-2. Certified weed free mulch will be crimped into the surface at 2000 lbs per <br />acre. Fertilizer may be added as determined by a soil test at the time of seeding. Heavy furrows <br />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 <br />fall after which a slope has been retopsoiled. Slopes will be regraded, backfilled, and retopsoiled <br />as soon as they are able to be reclaimed. Fall seeding applications will take place between <br />September 1 and October 15 of the respective year of seeding. <br />Table E-2 <br />Species Lbs per Acre <br />Western Wheat grass 3.0 <br />Side Oats Grama 4.0 <br />Russian Wild rye 1.5 <br />Blue Gramma 1.0 <br />Yellow Sweet Clover 0.5 <br />Total 10.0 <br />4. Post-Reclamation Site Drainage <br />Maps C-2 and F show arrows indicating the approximate direction of drainage throughout the <br />pit. The final reclamation will be graded so that drainage water will go in a similar path to the <br />original path. <br />5. Weed Control <br />Korinek S&G will take measures to ensure that the land affected by the mining operation is free <br />of weed infestations. A licensed local contractor will be hired in order to remove any weed <br />infestations. <br />Korinek #1 Pit August 2009 E-3
