texture and fertility; slope stability; and direction of slope faces. Similar attention <br /> shall be given to biological factors such as proper inoculation of legume seed, <br /> appropriate seeding and transplanting practices,care of forest planting stock, and <br /> restriction of grazing during initial establishment. The Board or Office,in <br /> consultation with the Landowner and the local Soil Conservation District, if any, <br /> shall determine when grazing may start. <br /> The perennial plant species chosen are a native to the area and are therefore suitable to the <br /> site elevation and precipitation range. The slopes of the site are being reduced which will <br /> promote site stability and plant establishment. In addition,the mix will promote soil <br /> stabilization. The seed mix also includes a clover, native to the site,to round out the mix. <br /> (5) To insure the establishment of diverse and long lasting vegetative cover,the <br /> Operator shall employ appropriate techniques of site preparation and protection <br /> such as mechanical soil conditioning by discing and ripping; mulching; soil <br /> amendments and fertilizers; and irrigation. <br /> • This site is being returned to rangeland use. The only requirements are grades <br /> appropriate for grazing and topsoil depths for plant establishment. <br /> • The seedbed preparation, seeding and mulching practices discussed above will be <br /> used. <br /> • There are no plans to irrigate the area. <br /> (6) Methods of weed control shall be employed for all prohibited noxious weed <br /> species, and whenever invasion of a reclaimed area by other weed species seriously <br /> threatens the continued development of the desired vegetation: <br /> • Noxious weeds are not a problem on this site; however, if noxious weeds do <br /> invade this site, a weed control program will be implemented as soon as possible <br /> to stop the spread of the noxious weeds. A portion of the reclamation cost will be <br /> devoted to this item. <br /> • Since the land may be used for grazing by the landowner, SEMA will work with <br /> the landowner and only utilize those noxious weed control practices which are <br /> acceptable to the landowner, or simply defer to the landowner as he so directs. <br /> • Please see Noxious Weed Control Plan contained in this permit <br /> application. <br /> (7) When necessary, fire lanes or access roads shall be constructed through the <br /> area to be planted. <br /> • It will not be necessary to construct fire lanes. <br /> • An additional site access road will not be needed for site reclamation. The access <br /> road will be reclaimed. <br /> • Internal haul roads will be reclaimed according to the approved reclamation plan. <br /> (8) Planting required for reclamation may be delayed,through the period of use <br /> 48 <br />
