Seeding of the roadsides and some cut and fill slopes of the terraces has previously been <br /> very successfully accomplished. These areas have over the last 5 years been evaluated <br /> by the Division and the revegetation has been deemed successful. <br /> Terraces as well as roadsides were seeded with the use of a seed drill. Only areas above <br /> the portals were seeded by broadcasting. <br /> A number of the large rocks were placed along the eastern toe of the lower terrace. The <br /> Division asked the Operator to dispose of these rocks. The Operator backfilled a portion <br /> of the east cut slope during late 1995. The Operator buried some of the rocks in place <br /> and placed some of them in the east cut slope fill shown on Figures 4.7-4 and 4.7-5, <br /> Section C-C. <br /> Fertilizer was applied prior to seeding. Application rates were determined by the <br /> analysis of topsoil samples after the topsoil had been redistributed. Three samples were <br /> analyzed. <br /> Table 4.4-3a Reclamation Seed Mix- Cropland <br /> Species #PLS Acre <br /> Orchard Grass 3.0 <br /> Brome Grass 10.0 <br /> Timothy Grass 1.0 <br /> Alfalfa 12 <br /> Table 4.4-3b Seed Mix- Pasture/Wildlife Habitat <br /> Species #PLS Acre <br /> Western Wheat Grass 3.6 <br /> Intermediate Wheat Grass 2.2 <br /> Kentucky Blue Grass 1.5 <br /> Timothy 1.7 <br /> Streamback Wheat Grass 1.7 <br /> Perennial Rye Grass 1.6 <br /> Lewis Blue Flax 1.8 <br /> Cicer Milkvetch 0.9 <br /> Alsike Clover 0.8 <br /> Smooth Brome 0.8 <br /> Basin Wildrye 0.7 <br /> Dryland Alfalfa 5.2 <br /> NCIG-Coal Ridge No. 1 4-59 06/15 <br />
