In contrast, Canadian bluegrass has the smallest seed diameter of those for the listed grass species, thus the lowest application rate of about 4 to 5 pounds per acre for planting that single species. When multiple grasses are sown, the application rate is reduced into the range of 1.5 to 2 pounds of seed per acre per species. This application rate typically allows 5 to 6 different species of grasses to be mixed. At a recommended seed rate of 20 pounds per acre for this mix, the calculated weight of pure live seed in the mixture is as follows: Tetraploid per Ryegrass- 15% Orchardgrass- 15% Siberian Wheatgrass- 15% Smooth Brome-20% Perennial Ryegrass-20% Intermediate Wheatgrass- 10% Streambank Wheatgrass-5% Note that the Teller County Soil Conservation District's"Buffalo Brand Dryland Pasture Mix"ratios do not precisely match the recommended percentages shown above but are sufficiently close to produce equal results. (c)(v) Mulching is not recommended for this site and will not be used as part of reclamation. (c)(vi) There will be no trees or shrubs planted as part of the reclamation. (d) The site contains no ponds, streams, nor permanent mining-related buildings, and none are anticipated to be constructed through the life of the project. (e) There are no waste rock dumps, tailing impoundments, underground mine openings, ditches, sediment control facilities, buildings and other features on the site.
