for the purpose of improving stand composition, typically to increase the legume components of <br /> a grass dominated stand, less commonly to increase the grass component of a legume <br /> dominated stands. Interseeding is not a substitute for full reseeding of failed stands that are <br /> deficient in perennial cover. <br /> 5.0 Revegetation - Irrigated Cropland <br /> The Morgan Property landowners (the Morgans) have a long history of successful farming on <br /> their property in particular, and the Nucla area in general. The Irrigated Cropland revegetation <br /> below has been assembled based on their input. Given the Morgans extensive knowledge of <br /> farming their land, they may make suggestions to this plan, and if acceptable to WFC, changes <br /> will be made to successfully achieve the post mine land use of Irrigated Cropland. <br /> WFC will rely on the details of this plan below for revegetation of IC on the Johnson property. <br /> All Prime Farmland within the permit area is being reclaimed to Irrigated Cropland, but not all <br /> Irrigated Cropland is Prime Farmland. See permit Section 2.06.6 for more information. <br /> 5.1 General Information <br /> The Irrigated Cropland (IC) post-mining land use will occur on all of the Morgan Property <br /> (110.79 acres), and a small portion of WFC land (3.96 acres)on the northwest side of the permit <br /> near Tuttle Draw. Map 2.05.4-5 shows the reclamation land uses of the entire site, including <br /> irrigation areas. The species planted will be mostly alfalfa, with other crops rotated as <br /> appropriate to follow agricultural norms and good husbandry practices. <br /> All Irrigated Cropland areas within the permit will be measured against the IC reference area in <br /> terms of cover and crop production. The IC reference area is located on the Morgan Property <br /> and will receive the same management as the rest of the property. All IC areas will be managed <br /> in the same fashion, as outlined in this section. Prime Farmland and Non-prime Farmland areas <br /> will have the same management. <br /> This subsection details the IC practices for all the portions of the permit that have IC as a land <br /> use. Information regarding the IC reference area is also gathered here. The Prime Farmland <br /> portions of Irrigated Cropland have additional requirements.
