Topsc "'Ag should <br />be coordinated with the seeding and planting practices and should not be planned while the ground <br />is frozen or too wet. Topsoil layers should be at least 2 inches deep (or similar to the existing <br />topsoil depth). <br />To minimize erosion and sedimentation, remove as little existing topsoil as possible. All site <br />controls should be in place before the topsoil is removed. If topsoils are brought in from another <br />site, it is important that its texture is compatible with the subsoiis onsite; for example, sandy <br />topsoils are not compatible with clay subsoils. <br />Stockpiling of topsoils onsite requires good planning so soils will not obstruct other operations. If <br />soil is to be stockpiled, consider using temporary seeding, mulching, or silt fencing to prevent or <br />control erosion. Inspect the stockpiles frequently for erosion. After topsoil has been spread, <br />inspect it regularly, and reseed or replace areas that have eroded. <br />• <br />Advantaaes of Permanent Seeding and Planting <br />• Improves the aesthetics of a site <br />Provides excellent stabilization <br />• Provides filtering of sediments <br />• Provides wildlife habitat <br />! l "4 an e s of c. r.rtar: cc^a 1 <br />l Depends initially on climate and weather for success <br />
