7. It is recognized that survival of willow and cottonwoods could be severely affected by <br />deer and/or beavers. Therefore, the proposed planting spacing is approximately 2 to 3 <br />times denser than the expected survival rate. <br />G. Seeding <br />1. All disturbed areas in the restoration/creation site will be seeded after the pole and <br />cutting plants are complete. <br />2. Seeding will take place after August 1 and before November 1 or after April 1 and <br />before June 1. Just prior to seeding, areas of compacted soil will be cultivated to form <br />an acceptable seedbed. <br />H. Application Rate, Method, and Mulch <br />1. Seed in each zone will be applied at the rate of 80 seeds (PLS) per square foot. <br />2. Seed will be broadcast spread at the applicable rates PLS/per acre. <br />3. Rice hulls (bulk/inert filler) will be added to the wetland (zone 1) seed mix to assist <br />with consistency of application rate to bring the seed mix up to 201bs per acre. <br />4. All broadcast seed will be raked into the soil after application. <br />5. Certified weed -free straw mulch will be inspected and bound with twine as regulated by <br />the Weed Free Forage Act, CRS Title 35, Article 27.5, and administered by the Colorado <br />Department of Agriculture. Mulch will be accompanied by a certificate of compliance as <br />defined in the rules and regulations of the aforementioned Act. <br />6. A uniform depth of certified weed free straw mulch will be applied to all seeded areas. <br />Mulch will be applied at the rate of 2,000 lbs/acre. <br />7. Mulch will be crimped in place by shovel or other applicable means. <br />Seed Mixes by Planting Zone <br />Zone 1: Wetland Emergent Herbaceous <br />Species PLS lbs/acre <br />Baltic rush (Juncus balticus) 0.05 <br />Bluejoint reedgrass (Calamagrostis canadensis) 0.25 <br />Nebraska sedge (Carex nebrascensis) 1.00 <br />Olney threesquare (Schoenoplectus americanus) 1.00 <br />Creeping spikerush (Eleocharis palustris) 0.75 <br />Hardstem bulrush (Schoenoplectus acutus var. acutus) 1.00 <br />Total 4.05 <br />Zone 2: Wetland Transitional Terrestrial Herbaceous <br />Species PLS lbs/acre <br />Streambank wheatgrass (Elymus lanceolatus ssp.) 10.00 <br />Timothy (Phleum pratense) 1.75 <br />Fowl bluegrass (Poa palustris) 0.75 <br />American mannagrass (Glyceria grandis) 2.0 <br />Tufted hairgrass (Deschampsia cepitosa) 2.0 <br />Total 16.50 <br />WestWater Engineering Page 15 of 24 July 2012 <br />
