Species availability at <br /> the time of seeding may require modifications of the mix, though any such modification will <br /> remain appropriate for the site conditions. The proposed mix will meet the proposed final use of <br /> the land (rangeland) and provide topsoil stabilization. The site will be reseeded with the <br /> equivalence of 20 pounds of seed per acre. The seeded areas will not be irrigated. Mulch, such as <br /> straw or other suitable material, will be crimped into the soil after seeding to minimize erosion <br /> and for moisture retention. <br /> If soil testing of the established seed bed indicates deficiencies for the specific plant species, <br /> fertilizer or compost will be used to assist in plant growth after reseeding. The fertilizer mix will <br /> be chosen after soil testing to select the most appropriate and efficient composition. Reseeding <br /> using a grass drill to seeding depth of/4"to ''/2" is the preferred reclamations method and <br /> historically has provided the best plant development. Straw mulch is applied and crimped at a <br /> rate of about 1 to 2 tons per acre on slopes of less than 2:1 to allow time to establish permanent, <br /> stabilizing vegetation. <br /> However, the property owner may elect to use broadcast seeding or hydroseeding with protective <br /> mulch in areas inaccessible by the grass drill equipment. Where broadcast seeding is used, the <br /> seed mixture should be incorporated by raking or harrowing the seed. Shrubs and/or trees will <br /> not be planted. The vegetation growth and density will be documented at the end of the first <br /> growing season, and documentation will continue until final bond release has been obtained from <br /> the State. <br />
