When the loadout is no longer <br />an economically viable operation, it will be reclaimed and re- <br />vegetated. The time frame for the revegetation could vary from <br />as little as five years to more than fifty years. <br />Topsoil stockpiles, cut slopes and other disturbed surfaces <br />associated with the mine construction will be revegetated <br />during the first available planting season typically September <br />1st to November 15'h. <br />(ii) The revegetation objective for the disturbed area is to achieve <br />a good stand of grass to satisfy the postmining land use of <br />cropland. <br />The following premium irrigated pasture mix will be utilized: <br />30% Regar Meadow Brome <br />25% Potomac Orchardgrass <br />25% Brome Grass <br />20% Tetraplloid Perennial Rygrass <br />Seeding Rate - 30 to 35 pounds per acre. <br />(iii) Planting and Seeding <br />Planting will be accomplished with the use of a rangeland drill <br />pulled behind arubber-tired tractor or other suitable equipment. <br />Broadcast seeding will be used for areas where drill seeding is <br />not practicable. <br />TR-020 2.05 - 25 3/01 <br />
