If seed is to be broadcast, the application <br /> rate will be doubled. <br /> The seed mix for final reclamation as described above does not require fertilizer as <br /> recommended by the local NRCS office in Greeley, Colorado. The seed mix was <br /> revised slightly per the NRCS's latest recommendations that require less seed to be <br /> drilled or broadcast per acre of disturbed area. <br /> Upland grass seed will be planted with a drill equipped with depth bands and press <br /> wheels. The seed should be drilled in the spring in the month of April for best results. <br /> The seeded areas will then be covered with straw mulch at a rate of 4,000 pounds per <br /> acre. The straw will be crimped into the soil to control erosion until the grass becomes <br /> established. See the attached NRCS seeding recommendations. <br /> If a significant invasion of noxious weeds occurs after seeding, the weeds will be <br /> mowed before they can go to seed. The areas will be mowed periodically for additional <br /> control as needed. Mechanical control will be used as a first priority. Chemical methods <br /> will only be used if no other alternative produces acceptable results. <br /> Temporary Stockpile Areas. For temporary stockpiles, the reclamation plan includes <br /> re-vegetating with appropriate seed mixes to minimize erosion and establish more <br /> rapidly to stabilize the stockpiles. The grass mixture below was selected as <br /> recommended by the Greeley NRCS field office. The proposed seed mix is shown in the <br /> following table. <br /> Application <br /> Temporary Stockpile Seed /o in mix <br /> Rate' o <br /> (#PLS/acre) <br /> Slender wheatgrass 2.8 #PLS/ac 25 <br /> Smooth bromegrass 3.9#PLS/ac 30 <br /> Pubescent wheatgrass 4.2 #PLS/ac 30 <br /> Sand dropseed 0.03#PLS/ac 5 <br /> Crested wheatgrass 0.6#PLS/ac 10 <br /> Totals 11.53 #PLS/ac 100 <br /> *Application rate is for drilling the seed.
