• Six inches over facilities and topsand storage areas. <br />3.3.2 Revegetation Techniques <br />The approved revegetation plan emphasizes native species planting resulting in a diverse, <br />permanent, effective plant community capable of self - regeneration. The current seed mix is <br />included in Section 2.05.4 of the PAP (page 115). <br />Manure or organic mulch is to be spread on the topsand. The approved seed mix will be drill <br />seeded through the organic mulch. Small areas that require reseeding may be broadcast. <br />Two windows for seeding are March 15 to June 1 (spring) and September 15 to December 15 <br />(fall). <br />A stubble mulch (such as sorghum) may be seeded in the spring or fall prior to seeding of the <br />permanent seed mix. <br />Hay /straw mulch, hydromulch and tackifier, soil amendments, and compost products may also be <br />used. <br />No irrigation is proposed. <br />The site is currently inspected at least quarterly for pests and diseases. No infestations of pests or <br />noxious weed species have been identified. <br />Grazing is prohibited during the first two years of vegetation establishment on reclaimed areas. <br />Grazing may be allowed thereafter. Grazing will not be allowed to interfere with vegetation <br />sampling for monitoring or bond release purposes, and eligible areas will not be grazed during <br />the growing season prior to sampling. <br />Revegetated areas that have experienced three or more growing seasons are monitored for <br />success standards of cover and production. Eligible areas are sampled in the last two consecutive <br />growing seasons prior to final bond release, but not earlier than years nine and ten of the <br />extended liability period. <br />3.3.3 Mining Techniques, Directions, Mine Life, Production Rates <br />No further extraction of coal is anticipated at the site. The estimated mine life is through year <br />2020. <br />3.3.4 Surface Handling of Coal (crush, screen, wash) <br />There is no surface handling of coal at the site, and none is anticipated. <br />8 <br />
