7 EROSION CONTROL MAINTEN ANCE PLAN MISSISSIPPI POWER AND LIGHT COMPANY 500 KV ELECTRIC TRANSMISSION LINE Purpose The purpose'of this plan is to develop maintenance procedures which will protect forest resources.

Plan Requirements

i. Construction Workmanship Constructionwill be done using methods which will result in the least disturbance possible..

2. Soil Stabilization Following construction, terraces or water bars will be installed along the construction road and disturbed portion of the right-of-way. These structures will be installed for each 3 feet of vertical drop and designed so they will drain into an undisturbed area. The terraces should be installed at angles and as flat as possible not to exceed a 3% slope.

3. Reveaetation of Disturbed Areas Following construction all disturbed areas shall be promptly revegetated. This revegetation will be accomplished by preparation of the seed bed, liming, fertilizing, seeding and mulching. The following rates of application will be required by periods of the year.

October I - February 28 - per acre rates of application -

I Ton lime 500 lbs 13-13-13 or equal 15 pounds annual rye grass or rye grass 15 pounds Pensacola Bahia 15 pounds Korean, Kobe or Common Lespedeza 2 tons 67-75 lb bales) grass hay Construction roads will be treated and revegetated as other disturbed areas.

J

March I - September 30 - per acre rate of application 1 ton lime 500 pounds 13-13-13 or equal 15 pounds Pensacola Bahia 15 pounds Korean Kobe or Comnon Laspedaza 2 tons (65-75 lb bales) grass hay Establishment of a permanent vegetative cover will be required and if initial seeding is unsuccessful, reseeding will be required.

A second application of 13-13-13 fertilizer in the amount of 300 pounds per acre will be made 9 to 12 months following initial seeding.

Aesthetic Considerations A low brush screen will be maintained the width of the right-of-way for a depth of 50 feet on either side of the crossing of Road 111. Clearing of this strip as necessary to provide construction access will be allowed and vegetation exceeding 10 feet in height may be removed.

Vegetation Control Woody vegetation growing in the undisturbed portion of the right-of-way will be removed at least every 10 years by bush hogging or using other approved methods.

Inspections This right-of-way will be inspected at least once annually in February. Any soil disturbances or erosion problems will be reported to the Company and prompt action to correct any deficiency will be expected.

Inspections in addition to the scheduled annual inspection will be made at more frequent intervals especially during the first few years after construction.

RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN MISSISSIPPI POWER & LIGHT COMPANY 500 KV ELECTRIC TRANSMISSION LINE Purpose The purpose of this plan is to indicate resource management procedures that will protect the forest resources.

Plan Requirements

1. Construction Workmanship Construction will be done using methods which will result in the least disturbance possible.

2. Road Crossings The clearing for crossing of road number 111 and the parallel situation of road number 112 will receive special treatment as follows:

(a) A 50 foot buffer strip on each side of road number 111 shall be selectively cleared in the following manner:

1. Clear a width of 60 feet along the centerline of survey of all trees and undergrowth.

2. All willows shall be cut.

3. All trees and undergrowth above 15 feet in height that are in the remainder of the 200 foot right-of-way shall be cut.

4. The clearing operation in the buffer strip shall be done in a manner that will minimize damage to the remaining vegetation.

(b) All vegetation 10 feet in height or less is to remain in place along',the west edge of road number 112 between (Mississippi Power & Light Company Survey) Station 1880+00 and 1885+00.

The width of the uncleared vegetation is not to exceed 20 feet.

3. Access Needs Construction material will be transported by trucks. Access for con-struction will be along the 200 foot right-of-way and existing public roads and travel ways. In addition to access on public road number 1.1, 112 and 198, transport equipment may operate on National Forest land outside the proposed 200 foot right-of-way on travel ways number Ill-K, 1151, 1152, 1158, 1171 and 1172. The felling of danger trees will also

RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN, MISSISSIPPI POWER & LIGHT COMPANY 500 KV ELECTRIC TRANSMISSION LINE (Cont'd.)

be outside the proposed 200 foot right-of-way. These trees will be picked in conjunction with the Forest Officer in charge.

The crossings at Lick Creek and two (2) other minor creeks at (Mississippi Power & Light Company Survey) Stations 1900+83, 1948+34 and 1948+78 will consist of wood mats anchored to prevent displacement.

The creek banks will be sloped to provide for the passage of equipment.

4. Clearing Width The 200 foot right-of-way may be cleared except where stated differently in this plan.
