Section - 2.05.4 <br />fences, etc.) until effective drainage can be reestablished. Any berms constructed to contain small <br />drainage areas will be revegetated and left in place. The vegetative cover will help to stabilize the <br />berms and over time the area on the uphill side of the berms will silt in completing the reclamation <br />process. Regrading operations will be limited to existing disturbance areas and those immediately <br />adjacent undisturbed areas necessary to provide for effective blending of regraded surfaces with the <br />surrounding terrain. Fugitive dust emissions will be controlled during reclamation by periodic <br />watering of roads and active reclamation areas. <br />Soil materials will be sampled following replacement to verify suitability and will be stabilized by <br />leaving the surface of the replaced soil in a roughened condition to minimize surface runoff and <br />erosion and promote moisture infiltration and through application of straw or native hay mulch <br />following seeding. <br />Soil samples will be analyzed for the parameters of pH, acid -base potential, saturation percent, <br />electrical conductivity, sodium adsorption ratio, selenium, boron, texture, nitrogen, phosphorus, and <br />potassium. Any necessary application of soil supplements or fertilizer will be based on soil analysis <br />results. <br />Revegetation success will be determined based on the results of revegetation monitoring. <br />Revegetation monitoring for reclaimed areas will occur in the third or fourth, ninth, and tenth year <br />following permanent seeding. In general, revegetation success will be evaluated based on the <br />parameters of cover, production and diversity by comparing monitoring data from reclaimed areas <br />TR -71, 2.05 -50a <br />Revised June 2011 <br />
