TOPSOIL Authority Requirements/Practices/Standards or N/A CCRa 1 Removal of vegetation and overburden preceding mining shall be kept to a minimum. Pq When the reclamation plan calls for resoiling, mine waste shall be leveled and covered with a IVA CCR 3503(f) layer of finer material. A soil layer shall then be placed on this prepared surface. The use of soil conditioners, mulches, or imported topsoil shall be considered where such 0 measures appear necessary. CCR 3704(c) Mine waste shall be stockpiled to facilitate phased reclamation and kept separate from topsoil or other growth media. CCR 3705(e) If soil is altered or other than native topsoil, soil analysis is required. Add fertilizers or soil D amendments if necessary. CCR 3711(a) All salvageable topsoil shall be removed as a separate layer. J, Topsoil and vegetation removal should not precede mining by more than one year. Topsoil resources shall be mapped prior to stripping and location of topsoil stockpiles shown on map included in the reclamation plan. Kn CCR 3711(b) Topsoil and other growth media shall be maintained in separate stockpiles. A/A Test plots may be required to determine the suitability of growth media for revegetation purposes. A/ CCR 3711(c) Soil salvage operations and phases of reclamation shall be set forth in the reclamation plan to minimize the area disturbed and to achieve maximum revegetation success. 44 Topsoil and growth media shall be used to phase reclamation as soon as can be accommodated ffb following the mining of an area. CCR 3711(d) Topsoil stockpiles shall not be disturbed until needed for reclamation. RA Topsoil stockpiles shall be clearly identified. P Topsoil shall be planted with vegetation or otherwise protected to prevent erosion and �� discourage weeds. CCR 3711(e) Topsoil shall be redistributed in a manner resulting in a stable, uniform thickness consistent with p� the end use. f REVEGETATION Authority Requirements/Practices/Standards or N/A PRC 2773(a) The reclamation plan shall be specific to the property and shall establish site-specific criteria for evaluating compliance with the reclamation plan with respect to revegetation. CCR 3503(g) Available research regarding revegetation methods and selection of species given the topography, resoiling characteristics, and climate of the mined areas shall be used. Baseline studies shall be conducted prior to mining activities to document vegetative cover, CCR 3705(a) density, and species richness. N� Vegetative cover shall be similar to surrounding habitats and self-sustaining. CCR 3705(b) Test plots shall be conducted simultaneously with mining to ensure successful implementation of the proposed revegetation Ian. N�' CCR 3705(c) Decompaction methods, such as ripping and disking, shall be used in areas to be revegetated to N/X establish a suitable root zone for planting. CCR 3705(d) Roads shall be stripped of roadbase materials, resoiled, and revegetated, unless exempted. � Temporary access shall not disrupt the soil surface on arid lands except where necessary for CCR 3705 f( ) safe access. Barriers shall be installed to keepunauthorized vehicles out. NA Use local native plant species (unless non-native species meet the end use). NA CCR 3705(g) Areas to be developed for industrial, commercial, or residential shall be revegetated for the NA interim period to control erosion. CCR 3705(h) Planting shall be conducted during the most favorable period of the year for plant establishment. AIA CCR 3705(i) Use soil stabilizing practices and irrigation when necessary to establish vegetation. A/ Reclamation Plan Content Checklist—Page 5 of 6 Revised April 9,2018
