 (a)  Revegetation of disturbed areas shall be conducted no later than the first normal period for favorable planting conditions after soil replacement and final grading of the soil surface for seeding and planting.

 (b)  Revegetation of disturbed areas shall be coordinated with soil replacement so that a minimum amount of time exists between the time soil is replaced and revegetation is completed.

 (c)  The periods for favorable planting of permanent herbaceous species are as follows:

   (1)  The spring planting season shall begin as early as soil conditions permit and shall terminate no later than May 30.

   (2)  The late summer planting season shall begin August 10 and shall terminate no later than September 15.

 (d)  The period for favorable planting of permanent woody species shall begin as early as soil conditions permit and shall terminate no later than May 20.

 (e)  When necessary to control erosion, revegetation shall be required immediately following backfilling and final grading regardless of periods for favorable planting. Revegetation of a temporary cover of small grains, grasses or legumes shall be required until a permanent cover is established. Revegetation under these circumstances shall be accomplished without regard to specified periods for favorable planting.
