Areas found with limited vegetation that might be subject to erosion will be noted on a map and <br /> scheduled for replacement of the soil (if needed) and reseeding. Significant erosion may <br /> require the temporary placement of plastic tarps until the surface can be reseeded. <br /> Areas scheduled for reseeding will also include any area on which additional soil must be <br /> placed to correct drainage. <br /> Regular travel by grazing animals may create local bare spots. Such spots are tolerable if <br /> erosion is not noticeable. <br /> 3.2 VEGETATION GROWTH <br /> Vegetation will be re-established on areas that have received soil for grading or cap repair. <br /> Vegetation replanting will include the application seed and fertilizer if needed. Annual and <br /> perennial grasses, including California Brome, rye, fescue, and clover will be used. Other <br /> species may be applied if beneficial to grazing. The seed application rate will provide <br /> approximately 30 Ib seed/acre, and can be adjusted for the species planted. <br /> Vegetation replanting on bare areas will be in the late fall or early spring, when the climate is <br /> conducive to vegetation growth. Reseeded slopes 3:1 or steeper may be protected during the <br /> initial establishment with anti-erosion mats. <br /> 3.2 A. FERTILIZATION <br /> Fertilizer will be applied to newly-seeded areas. Fertilizer will contain nitrogen, <br /> phosphorous and potassium in the ratio of 12-4-8 or similar. Fertilizer will be applied <br /> at a rate of two pounds nitrogen per 1000 square feet (approximately 90 Ib N per acre). <br /> Fertilizer may be applied on areas with sparse growth that have not been disturbed. <br /> Fertilizer may not be applied to newly-seeded areas at the full rate if the fill soil is <br /> sufficiently fertile. Soil fertility can be provided by amending the soil prior to placement <br /> 3.2 B. IRRIGATION SYSTEM MAINTENANCE <br /> Irrigation is not planned for the HLSL; therefore, irrigation system maintenance is not <br /> required. <br /> 3.2 C. ELIMINATION OF SPECIES THAT VIOLATE ROOT DEPTH <br /> Grazing and mowing will eliminate species that would have deep roots such as trees <br /> or shrubs. In addition, the climate at the HLSL prevents the establishment of trees or <br /> shrubs that would have deep roots. However, any such species found during <br /> inspection will be killed, either by the application of herbicide or by removal. <br /> Vegetation Maintenance Plan G-2 San Joaquin County <br /> Harney Lane Sanitary Landfill Department Of Public Works <br /> July 30,2009 Solid Waste Division <br />
