J .'.. <br />junegrass, sun sedge, bottlebrush s <br />drummond milkvetch, and-fringed sage <br />community. <br />quirreltail, Indian ricegrass, <br />brush are secondary in the plant <br />On the Gravel Breaks range site the potential plant community <br />consists of about 85 to 90 percent grasses, 5 percent forbs, and 5 to <br />lo percent shrubs. Sideoats grama dominates the site. Little <br />bluestem, blue grama, galleta, and needleandthread are the other major <br />producers on this site. Indian ricegrass, sand dropseed, red threeawn, <br />buckwheat, hairy goldaster, and threadleaf groundsel also commonly <br />occur. <br />PLANTING RECOMMENDATIONS: I have developed a seed plan for this site. <br />Availability of the recommended forbs and some of the grasses may be <br />limited. If you have difficulty finding them in sufficient quantities, <br />give me a call and we can adjust the mix. I recommend a drilled <br />seeding. If that is not feasible due to steepness of slope, or high <br />content of cobble and stone size rock fragments on the surface, then <br />broadcast the seed as uniformly as possible at twice the specified <br />rate. Then using a dozer or other piece of heavy equipment, track in <br />the seed. Run the cleats perpendicular to the slope to slow any runoff <br />and allow for better infiltration. Follow the guidelines on the <br />attached CO -ECS -5 Grass Seeding Plan form. <br />If you have any questions on this or any other matter, please <br />feel free to call. <br />Sincerely, <br />Rick Romano <br />Soil Conservationist <br />
