Seeding and planting of disturbed areas shall be conducted during the first normal period for favorable planting conditions after final regrading and spreading of topsoil. The normal period for favorable planting shall be that planting time generally accepted locally for the type of plant materials selected. When necessary to effectively control erosion, any disturbed area shall be seeded and planted, as contemporaneously as practicable with the completion of backfilling and grading, with a temporary cover of small grains, grasses, or legumes until a permanent cover is established.
