Seed selection criteria were based on climate and <br />elevation ranges within these areas. Recognizing that surface soil conditions, nutrients, <br />and available moisture can vary within these areas, successful establishment of six or <br />more of the twelve species is considered adequate. If the total number of species seeded <br />is less than that specified below, the seeding rates for the individual species must be <br />adjusted accordingly. All seed tags must be submitted to DOE for verification prior to <br />the seeding application. <br />Seed shall be broadcast at the specified application rate and covered (except "pocked" <br />surfaces) using a drag bar, chain link, or packer wheels. If seed is drilled, use one -half <br />(1/2) the broadcast rate. <br />Seeding shall be performed during one of the following time periods: <br />• For best results, between October 15 and consistent ground freeze; or <br />• Between August 1 and August 31. <br />Revegetation efforts on the disturbed areas will be considered satisfactory when: <br />• Soil erosion resulting from the operation has been stabilized; and <br />Page A -16 <br />
