STORAGE:

1. A. Topdressing removed under 19.8.20.2005 NMAC shall be stockpiled only when it is impractical to promptly redistribute such materials on regraded areas.

2. B. Stockpiled materials shall be selectively placed on a stable area within the permit area, not disturbed, and protected from wind and water erosion, unnecessary compaction, and contaminants which lessen the capability of the materials to support vegetation when redistributed.

   (1) Protection measures shall be accomplished either by:

   (a) an effective cover of non-noxious, quick-growing annual and perennial plants, seeded or planted during the first normal period after removal for favorable planting conditions; or

   (b) other methods demonstrated to and approved by the director to provide equal protection.

   (2) Unless approved by the director, stockpiled topdressing shall not be moved until required for redistribution on a regraded area.
