broadcast, and hydroseeding) containerized transplants of shrubs, bareroot stock, and /or mature <br />shrub transplant techniques will be utilized as appropriate for each specific area. Shrubs were <br />transplanted in area C -1 and enclosed in Elk Fence to provide protection from grazing in 2009. <br />Species transplanted included Buffalo Berry, Sumac and Woods Rose. The 120 by 200 foot <br />rectangular shrub plot is shown on Map 2.05.3 -5. The 2009 shrub transplant was a total failure <br />due to lack of precipitation the following year. <br />Shrub transplants consist of containerized or bare -root stock. Clumps of transplanted shrubs will <br />include a selected mix of Wood's rose, sumac, buffalo berry, serviceberry, big sagebrush, choke <br />cherry, bitterbrush, snowberry, Burr and Gambel oak. Selected species will be dependent on <br />plant availability at time of transplant. <br />Overall, areas of shrub seeding will maximize the following to ensure successful re- growth. <br />Seeding areas will be placed near undisturbed edges to promote introduction of natural, endemic <br />populations. Shrubs will be strip seeded along contours or on terraces, in drainages, and north <br />and east aspects to optimize moisture reserves and potential. The shrub seed mixture is detailed <br />in Table 2.05.4 -2a. Additional shrub species may be added to the seed mixture depending on <br />seed availability and price considerations. Plum and chokecheny plantings in wetter drainages <br />and draws have been suggested by the CDOW (Kloster 1997). <br />OakJPinyon Pine <br />This revegetation community will replace the disturbed pre -mine oak/pinyon pine areas. The <br />seed mixture is shown on Table 2.05.4 -2. It includes several species typically found on well - <br />developed soils on gentle slopes and some steeper slopes. As with the grassland seed mixture, an <br />annual nurse crop has been added to the seed mix. <br />TR -17 2.05 -66b Revised 08/10/12 <br />
