The many <br />water holes created for erosion control xould accomodate <br />both domestic and wildlife species as yell as create areas <br />for waterfowl, Planting many stands of trees and shrubs <br />would allow animals to spread out and utilize grasses more <br />fully, It would also create a habitat for song and game <br />birds as xell as rodents and predators, By utilizing the <br />most compatible species and changing the successional <br />pattern, the area should support a larger and more diverse <br />xildlife population along xith a self-sustaining vegetative <br />community. <br />All haul roads, except access roads, and any other affected <br />areas, such as parking lots or topsoil stockpile area, would <br />be reshaped and reclaimed, using the same procedures as de- <br />scribed above. Roads xould be left for access to the area <br />for future farming and grazing uses, These roads would also <br />permit access for monitoring reclamation success. Lands <br />would be reclaimed to create anaesthetically pleasing area. <br />The areas seeded would be monitored on a weekly basis to <br />check the vigor and plant establishment. Monitoring would <br />consist of on-site inspections. On an annual basis, in late <br />summer or early fall, each site would be evaluated for <br />production, density, and species adaptation. This would be <br />20 <br />
