The scattered <br /> annual weeds were cleared from the areas to be seeded and minor erosion features were repaired by grading using onsite <br /> material. The surface was roughened by tilling at a depth of 4 to 6 inches. Once the soil bed was prepared, Biosol Plus (7- <br /> 2-3) was applied at a rate of eight hundred (800) pounds per acre. The seed was drilled using a rangeland drill, spaced no <br /> more than 10 inches apart. The Grassland-Eastern seed mixture was used at a rate of 5 pounds of pure live seed per acre. <br /> The cost to revegetate the 16 acres totaled $17,450.00. <br /> Change Order#1-The landowner uses the property for cattle grazing, and was not able to relocate the cattle for a year to <br /> allow vegetation to establish. In order to protect the newly seeded areas from grazing, the reclaimed area was closed in by <br /> a three strand barbwire fence. The fence was tied in to the existing fence on the west side of the property for a length of <br /> 2,500 feet, and corner posts were erected. The total cost to fence the area totaled $3,750.00. <br /> A total of 16 acres were reclaimed and fenced. The total cost for this work was $21,200.00.The project was completed on <br /> 12/15/2010. <br /> Remaining Reclamation Requirements and Estimated Cost: <br /> Currently there are no additional reclamation requirements for the Pinon Sand and Gravel Mine. Vegetation at the site will <br /> be monitored. <br /> 40. <br /> C,(tADC(Y---) <br /> Project Manager Senior P j:! an:er <br /> 211L-1 L-1 1D'I Z/I5/t4I( <br /> Date / Date <br />
