a high yield variety). which is 20 Ibs per acre alfalfa and 40 Ibs per acre triticale. Provide <br />irrigation water to establish the crop before winter. <br />Years 8 -11- Irrigate the land and harvest according to normal management procedures. <br />Measure production for bond release during Years 9. 10 and 11. <br />5.7.2 Fertilization Plan <br />Fertilizer will be used at the New Horizon Mine during reclamation based on good, economical <br />land management practices on Irrigated Cropland post mine land use. It is important to note that <br />fertility testing and fertilization of the soil will occur when the topsoil is initially placed, which is <br />discussed as a soil preparation practice in Section 2.05.4(2) (d). To achieve goal of high <br />management for the irrigated cropland areas, the following fertilization plan is proposed after the <br />18, year: <br />1) Sampling of the soil on land with Irrigated Cropland post mine land use will take place in <br />years 3, 5, 7 and 9 after seeding. <br />2) Thrce soil samples will be taken over each of the IC areas and analyzed by a lab using the <br />standard soil test for organic matter. nitrogen. potassium, and phosphorous. The lab will be <br />informed that the desired crop is alfatfa and that the desired 1" cut production is 2.00 tons per <br />acre. <br />3) The lab will produce a recommendation for fertilizer based on soil samples and the <br />recommended production of alfalfa <br />4) The fertilizer is in solid form and will be purchased in bulk from the local Co -Op. It will be <br />applied by small tractor with a. broadcast spreader pulled behind the tractor The fertilizer will be <br />applied in the Spring of the same year that each fertility testing is done. <br />Wednesday, June 30, 2010. max <br />
