If fertility problems become evident, topsoil will, at a minimum, be sampled and analyzed for pH, parfide size, <br />nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and organic matter utilizing standard techniques. Results of the analysis <br />will be maintained of the mine site or Division office. If analysis also indicates fertility problems, the <br />appropriate amendments may be added as a supplement in revegetated areas that indicate plant nutrient <br />defidencaes. However, the potential competition affects due to the resultant flush of annual plant growth <br />associated with fertilization must be evaluated. Spede competftion and trends will 6e Gosety observed and <br />documented where a fer81'rzer supplement has been used. This information will be indtxfetl in the Annual <br />Reclamation Report for Seneca II-W Mine. <br />Literature Ci[ed <br />Amold, F.B. and D.J. Dollhopf. 1977.
