prairie junegrass (Koeleria macrantha), and mountain muhly
<br /> Representative forbs include common yarrow, sagebrush (Artemisia
<br /> slop ), geraniums (Geranium spp ), starry false lily of the valley,
<br /> Fendler's meadow-rue, and American vetch (Vicia amencana) Soils
<br /> are typically poorly developed, rocky to very rocky, and well-
<br /> drained. Fire typically plays an important role in determining
<br /> vegetative composition
<br /> Mountain Grassland Estimated 41 acres of total 299 including 7 acres in permit area,at least some due
<br /> (High Montane to previous mining. Characteristic grass species in montane and
<br /> Meadow M168) subalpine grasslands include Parry's oatgrass (Danthonia parryi),
<br /> Arizona fescue, Idaho fescue (Festuca idahoensis), Thurber's fescue
<br /> (F. thurberi), and mountain muhly along with a sometimes diverse
<br /> set of relatively dry forbs such as Indian paintbrush species
<br /> (Castilleja spp ), pingue rubberweed (Hymenoxys richardsonu),
<br /> sidebells penstemon (Penstemon secundiflorus), wooly cinquefoil
<br /> (Potentilla hippiana), and Rocky Mountain goldenrod (Solidago
<br /> multiradiata). Mesic meadows tend to be forb-dominated and
<br /> include common yarrow (Achillea millefolium), bluebell bellflower
<br /> (Campanula rotundifolia), fireweed (Chamernon angustifolium),
<br /> aspen fleabane (Erigeron speciosus), largeleaf avens (Geum
<br /> macrophyllum), common cowparsnip (Heracleum maximum), and
<br /> arrowleaf ragwort (Senecio triangularis), among others Graminoids
<br /> form a minor component and are usually mesic taxa with relatively
<br /> broad and soft blades such as California brome (Bromus carinatus),
<br /> smallwing sedge (Carex microptera), and tufted hairgrass
<br /> (Deschampsia caespitosa). Broadleaf deciduous shrubs, such as
<br /> shrubby cinquefoil (Dasiphora fruticosa ssp floribunda) and
<br /> snowberry (Symphoricarpos spp ), are often present, but do not
<br /> dominate This habitat occurs in a wide variety of environments
<br /> where finely-textured soils, snow deposition, rocky substrates, or
<br /> windswept, dry conditions limit tree establishment or where there
<br /> has been disturbance and reclamation Grasslands occur on flat to
<br /> rolling plains, in intermontane parks, and on dry sideslopes,
<br /> especially with south and west aspects (
<br /> 3. It should be noted that continued fire suppression efforts and livestock grazing on the site since transfer into
<br /> private ownership have established a trend towards denser ponderosa and fir stands with denser understories,and an
<br /> increase in noxious weed infestations.
<br /> 4. Seed mixes for soil protection and reclamation.
<br /> For temporary seeding for stabilization and protection of stockpiles:
<br /> Species, Variety Rate in Ibs/acre, PLS, Rate in Ibs/acre, PLS,
<br /> Broadcast Drilled
<br /> Slender Wheatgrass, Pryor 8.25 4.13
<br /> Sideoats Grama 8.25 4.13
<br /> TOTAL 16.50 8.25
<br /> Seeding will be done immediately after application of erosion control polymers, usually within seven days of completion
<br /> of a stockpile or length of stockpile, and followed by watering to establish the stand of grass,
<br /> b. General instructions regarding seeding and care: Not applicable.
<br /> c. Weed control will be standard for the crop selected, and coordinated with the landowner and County weed
<br /> and pest control agency,
