RESPONSE:
On May 5, 2017 personnel at Daniels Sand Pit#2 completed reseeding of the newly
filled and sloped southwest embankment of the current wash fines pond. This was
completed using hand broadcast seed spreaders. The seed mix used was a combination
of Sand Bluestem,Thickspike Wheatgrass, Pubscent Wheatgrass, Western Wheatgrass,
Prairie Sandreed, Big Bluestem,Sideoats Grama, Little Bluestem, Blue Grama, and Sand
Lovegrass. This seed mix has been approved by the Division in Daniels Sand Pit#2
Permit Amendments. (From the 2005 Permit Amendment and as modified by the 2008
Permit Amendment for pit slopes.)Seed was broadcast on the slope to collect in soil
pockets left by the grousers on a track dozer. Once the seed was dispersed a drag pulled
by an ATV was passed over the slope completely covering and protecting the seed.
Pictures of the revegetation process are included below.
