<br />Common grasses on the situ are: Blue Grams, j-Awn, June-

<br />RECLAMATION PLAN:
<br />should have
<br />The reclaimed area ~ slopes less than 3:1. Slopes greater than
<br />3:1 are often unavoidable, however they should be minimized. Mulching
<br />the area, at the rate of X000 lb~ac, will protect it until vegetation
<br />is restored. Some types of mulch to be considered are: straw ~r g-ra:;s
<br />hay, etc. Mulching will protect the disturbed area from hoth •,rind and
<br />water erosion.
<br />Seedbed Preparation:
<br />Seedbed preparation should take place immediately fo]lowing the gt•ad.i:~
<br />and shaping of the elopes, If completion of these measure; does not
<br />coincide with proper time of seeding, it may be necessary to mulch or•
<br />plant ar. annual cover crop to protect the soil until pertnanettt cover car-
<br />be aeadeo.
<br />Topsoil ehould be applied after shaping and grading of the slopes hav-~
<br />been completed. (To avoid added expense, existing topsoil s?:eu.ld be a,?c}r-
<br />pil.ed and. used; otherwise, additional topsoil Way have to b~ brou,;:a ir.
<br />to reclaim rho area
<br />Tillage of the site should be to a depth of about six inches, allowinE
<br />topsoil i:o bind with existing soil particles. The reasons for this are
<br />prevention oT air pockets, it encourages root penetration, a.nd prevents
<br />tupnoi.l ::lippal~c r,n tho slopuu.
<br />F'ertilizor should be applied =st a rate of Iy0 lbr~acre of available n~tru-
<br />~en and 1,0 lbs~acre of available pho:.phnrue. The fertilizer ehould '.:u
<br />incorporated into the soil at a depth of 2 to u inches. Provided pr~,p~:r
<br />•,cui.pmenl: is used, fertilizer may be applied at the time o~ ^4udin~;.
<br />The seedbed should be firmed. by cultipackin~ or by e:imilar :weans .i_f r.oc ;-
