• Incorporation of wood waste, gypsum, organic fertilizer, compost, and mycorrhizal inoculum into portions of Gob Sites A2S and A7.
• Grading required for access to the site along designated access roads and trails.
• Planting of seedlings at Gob Sites A2S and A7, including planting hole amendments, seedling protection tubes where required, and maintenance and protection of plantings for six months.
• Reclamation of specified access roads by installation of waterbars, and crusher fines paving where indicated.
• Hydroseeding using an extended-term flexible growth medium at designated areas and areas disturbed by construction.
