and the highest success rates.ASCI will drill seed at rate of 12—16 pounds of pure live seed <br /> (pis)/acre. <br /> 2) ASCI will also use broadcast or hand seeding. Broadcast seed is applied directly to the soil surface at <br /> twice the drill seed rate or 24 to 32 pis/acre. Broadcast seeding will be used in isolated areas to fill in <br /> gaps in the seed coverage. <br /> 3) ASCI will use either a cover crop or native grass straw mulch to protect and enhance the success of <br /> the reclamation grass/forb establishment. <br /> 4) Seed planting depths will be reviewed and taken into consideration prior to planting. Native grass <br /> seed should not be planted too deep and is typically between%to% inch below the ground surface. <br /> 5) Access roads and/or fire lanes will be constructed through areas to be planted, as necessary. <br /> 6) Reclamation will not include trees or shrubs. <br /> 7) Grazing will not occur until the vegetation is regenerating with good grass ground cover. <br /> 8) ASCI will employ the right techniques of site preparation to ensure a diverse and long-lasting <br /> vegetative cover(e.g.,spraying herbicides, burning, discing,crimping, ripping, mulching, soil <br /> amendments and fertilizers). <br /> 9) ASCI will watch the progress of revegetation and implement weed control practices that are proper <br /> for any areas infested by noxious weed species. <br /> SEEDING RATES <br /> 1) Drill seeding: 12-16 pounds pure live seed (pls)/acre <br /> 2) Broadcast seeding:24-32 pis/acre <br /> 3) Cover crop seeding: 5-10 pounds/acre <br /> NATIVE GRASS AND FORBS <br /> 1) NATIVE GRASS AND FORBS- Natives plant species are tolerant to extremes of heat or cold,drought <br /> and a variety of other harsh environmental conditions.The dryland pasture will have vegetation that <br /> is diverse and capable of self-regeneration. Native species generally have small seeds and require <br /> shallow seeding depths(%-%"). Seed can remain viable for years until the right soil conditions are <br /> met for seed germination.Germination can be prolonged due to naturally occurring seed dormancy. <br /> 2) WILDFLOWERS(Forbs) Native wildflowers are an important addition to this native grass planting. <br /> Besides adding beauty to stands of native grasses,wildflowers are an important food source for <br /> game birds,songbirds,and mammalian wildlife as well as grazing livestock.Wildflowers will be <br /> planted one to three years after establishment of the native grasses.This would allow herbicide use <br /> until the grasses are established and herbicides are not needed.Wildflower species grow well in <br /> stands of established grass. <br />
