In recent years, operators have been working towards the reclamation, and ultimately, certification of industrial disturbance sites. One challenge is aggressive colonization of agronomic vegetation, which out-competes desirable plant species. Sod-forming rhizomatous grasses are of particular concern as they can preclude ingress of desirable native forest plant species. The intent of this technical note is to illustrate the short-term vegetation development effects of actively spreading soil strippings on recently reclaimed well sites.
