cmcCONTINENTAL MATERIALS CORPORATION <br /> forest on 2:1 slopes on this parcel, and these coniferous species will be planted on slopes above <br /> 7450'. Prior reclamation plans included a pinyon juniper revegetation plan between 7450' and <br /> 7250' on private surface. As an expansion of their prior plans, the applicant has identified a mixed <br /> shrub community of Gambel's Oak and Mountain Mahogany from approximately 7250'to the base <br /> of the property. The acreages associated with these vegetation types are summarized in Table <br /> E-1. <br /> Table E-1 Revegetation Summary <br /> Vegetation Type Area (ac) <br /> Douglas Fir-Ponderosa Pine 32.18 <br /> Pinyon-Juniper 37.52 <br /> Gambel's Oak-Mt. Mahogany 69.40 <br /> Total 139.10 <br /> Trees in the higher elevations (above 7450')will be planted on the graded slopes to provide visual <br /> diversity at a rate of 43 trees per acre, with the anticipation that there will be a 70% survival rate <br /> of 30 trees per acre. The associated seed mix is compiled in Table E-2. <br /> Downgradient, between 7450' and 7250', a pinyon juniper community will be established to mimic <br /> the tree pattern on the south facing slopes above the disturbed areas. The number of planted <br /> trees would vary from 60 trees/acre to 30 trees/acre between 7450' and 7250', to achieve a 20% <br /> cover assuming a 70% survival rate. The associated seed mix is compiled in Table E-3. <br /> The Gambel's Oak-Mountain Mahogany community near the base of the property will be planted <br /> with 336 oak or mahogany plugs/acre, supplemented by other woody species including soapweed <br /> yucca (Yucca glauca), Wood's rose (Rosa woodsii), Cliff spirea (Holodiscus dumosus) at a rate <br /> of 200 stems per acre. The previously approved seed mix within Table E-3 will also be utilized to <br /> provide a base revegetated cover. <br /> Cultural practices will be key to the success of the reclamation effort. The planting of tree <br /> seedlings and grass seed will not be supported by irrigation systems. Tree planting will occur in <br /> the spring or fall when soil moisture is optimal. Prior to planting, bare root seedlings will be dipped <br /> in a mycorrhizal solution or inoculant. Tree planting should be followed by an initial watering to <br /> saturate the roots, and enhance success. Native grasses will be seeded after the tree planting, at <br /> an appropriate time for successful germination. <br /> Pikeview Quarry Amendment 4 <br /> E-5 <br />
