- (a) The soil surface shall be prepared by disking or harrowing. If soil conditions or steep slopes prohibit these practices, the soil surface shall be scarified by a mechanical method which will loosen the surface material. Scarification will not be required if seeding is done immediately following final grading when the soil is still loose.
- (b) Disking or harrowing shall be accomplished following or along the contours of slopes.
- (c) Topsoil shall be disked or harrowed to a depth of at least 3 inches prior to seeding.
