Road base material will be <br />taken off site or placed on the Fulton Ditch maintenance road, adjacent to the Henderson <br />Water Ski Club. A minimum of six inches of topsoil will be placed on these areas, using <br />topsoil recovered from initial stripping of the site. These areas will be drill or broadcast <br />seeded using the grass seed mix and application rates approved for application to <br />disturbed areas of the original 124th Estates Sand and Gravel Mine. Weed free, straw <br />mulch will be applied at a rate of approximately one ton per acre. A disc-type crimper, <br />pulled by tractor, will be used to work the mulch into the soil. The proposed grass seed <br />mix and application rates are as follows. <br />Common Name Lbs/Acre <br />Western Wheatgrass 3.6 <br />Sideoats Grama 1.5 <br />Blue Grama 0.4 <br />Needle and Thread 1.7 <br />Streambank Wheatgrass 2.5 <br />Slender Wheatgrass 2.5 <br />Note: Seeding rates represent a drill rate. <br />drill rate. <br />Percent of Mix <br />20 <br />15 <br />15 <br />10 <br />20 <br />20 <br />Broadcast rate would be two times the <br />Reclamation Schedule <br />Reclamation activity will begin during Phase 4 of mining activity and will be completed <br />in less than six months after all mining has ended.
