In addition, the finer waste material will be spread across the waste <br />dump. The area will then be pocked using a Cat 315 excavator or equivalent and <br />finally seeded using the recommended seed mixture. Previous experience doing <br />reclamation at this site indicates that pocking will provide a more sustainable re- <br />vegetation effort even if large amounts of topsoil are not available. <br />H. Ore Stockpile <br />All ore will be removed prior to reclamation. The material immediately <br />underlying the ore stockpile pad will be picked up and placed inside the portal. <br />The ore pad area will then be re- contoured as part of the re- contouring effort for <br />the mine waste dump. <br />Re- vegetation <br />The following seed mix is required by DOE on all disturbed areas on the DOE lease tract. <br />Current DOE Recommended Seed Mix <br />*The rates above are based on broadcast seeding methods. <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, one -half (1/2) <br />the broadcast rate will be used. <br />Timing for the placement of seed will directly follow the placement of the cover material, <br />prior to the cover material forming a hard crust. Preferably, seeding will be in either the <br />spring or fall. However, experience indicates that getting the seed on the cover material <br />soon after placing it is more important than the time of year to the success of the re- <br />vegetation effort. <br />Re- vegetation efforts on the disturbed areas will be considered satisfactory when: <br />D -3 <br />
