I <br />Seed mix AM01 <br />Program, these insects are very effective. Effects may not be seen as quickly as <br />compared to other methods, but their long-term influence has proven to be highly <br />beneficial in the fight against noxious weeds. <br />Chemical control with herbicides kills or control targeted plants. They can be safe and <br />effective when used properly. <br />Implementation <br />As recommended by the MRCS, Brannan will seed stockpiled topsoil to help prevent <br />noxious weed growth. Topsoil used within 5 years will be seeded with temporary cover <br />such as Luna Pubescent Wheatgrass of Intermediate Wheatgrass. Topsoil stockpiled for <br />more that 5 years will be seeded with one or more of the species shown in Table A. <br />Standard management practices will be utilized to maintain the vegetation. <br />Table A <br />Common Name <br />100% <br />PLS/Acre <br />% in Mix <br />Total LBS of <br />AS needed <br />per acre <br />Sand Bluestein <br />16.0 <br />15 <br />2.4 <br />Sideoats grama <br />4.0 <br />14 <br />1.3 <br />Prairie sandreed <br />7.0 <br />15 <br />1.1 <br />Blue grama <br />3.0 <br />8 <br />0.2 <br />Switchgrass <br />5.0 <br />14 <br />0.7 <br />Western wheat ass <br />16.0 <br />15 <br />2.4 <br />Purple prairie clover <br />6.0 <br />5 <br />0.3 <br />Fourwing satbrush <br />1.0 <br />5 <br />0.1 <br />Winterfat <br />1.0 <br />5 <br />0.1 <br />Prairie coneflower <br />6.0 <br />2 <br />0.1 <br />Scarlet globemallow <br />6.0 <br />2 <br />0.1 <br />Total <br />100% <br />8.8 <br />Note: If seed is broadcast, recommended <br />rate should be doubled. <br />Management of the native vegetation and the vegetation on the stockpiled topsoil will <br />include one or more of the standard techniques: cultural, mechanical, biological and <br />chemical. Care will be taken to not introduce chemicals into the water of the pit. <br />During reclamation and post -reclamation no herbicides will be utilized since the reservoir <br />will be used as a public water source. Weeds in the re -vegetated areas will be controlled <br />by mowing until grasses are established, approximately the first four years after planting. <br />Post reclamation management will be in compliance with the Adams County Weed <br />Management Program. <br />XA I440000.a1n14457011WordlwccdP1an.doc <br />
