large lumps of soil and debris. 4. In areas with a slope greater than 10:1, ensure that the disc tracks or furrows run parallel to the contour so as not to encourage rilling. 5. Remove all foreign matter larger than twelve inches in any dimension from the areas to be seeded and /or planted. 6. After completion of soil preparation, the Contractor shall schedule with theLA -E/ Owner a final acceptance inspection of soil preparation. D. Execution: 1. Before beginning seed installation, the Contractor shall layout all seeding zones using flags spaced approximately 20 feet apart. The LA -E /Owner must approve the layout before seed installation begins. 2. Seeds shall have proper stratification and /or scarification to break seed dormancy for spring planting. 3. All legumes shall be inoculated with proper rhizobia at the appropriate time prior to planting. 4. Seeding shall be preferentially conducted as a late fall dormant seeding (after November 1) or in early spring (as soon as the soil is free of frost and in a workable condition but no later than July 15). 5. All seed shall be preferentially installed with a rangeland type seed drill or no -till planter, such as by Truax, or equivalent as approved in writing by the LA -E/ Owner. 6. If soil is too wet or the area too small to install seed as described above, a mechanical broadcast seeder, such as by Cyclone, shall be used. Hand broadcasting of seed may also be employed. Within 24 hours, or as soon as site conditions permit, broadcast seeded areas shall be rolled or cultipacked parallel to the contour. 7. Hydroseeding may only be used if seed is spread in a separate operation and the ground cultipacked before hydromulch is installed. 8. Within seven days of seeding, crimp 2,000 pounds per acre of clean straw for erosion control at a rate of 1.5 tons per acre to achieve a uniform distribution of mulch. The mulch shall then be disc anchored. 9. If area to be seeded was treated with herbicide, seeding shall occur no Tess than 14 days after herbicide application. 10. Install erosion control blanket on all seeded areas that have a slope of 4:1 or greater as indicated in section 02940 - Erosion Control Blanket. 3.03 CLEAN -UP, REMOVAL AND REPAIR A. Clean up: the work area shall be kept free of debris by the Contractor. After seed installation is complete, clean up any remaining materials, debris, trash, etc. Avoid driving over seeded areas to minimize disturbance B. Removal: after work has been completed remove any tools, equipment, empty containers, and all other debris generated by the Contractor. C. Repair: repair any damages caused by the Contractor during completion of the work described in this section. 3.04 INSPECTION After completion of seeding, the Contractor shall schedule with Owner a provisional acceptance inspection of the work.
