Section 300.140  Reclamation

of Slurry Pond Disposal Areas

Screening Vegetation Engineering

Practices

Slurry must be confined in

depressed mined areas or areas bounded by levees or dams constructed from

material capable of supporting acceptable vegetation and built in accordance

with sound engineering practices.  Such areas shall be screened with border plantings

of tree species which by their seeding habits will encourage propagation of

vegetation to these areas, and levees or dams built to confine slurry shall be

established to adapted species of grasses.  The stand requirements shall meet

the standards established in Section 300.120(b).  Levees and dam construction

methods are described in Section 300.150.
