<br />' The seed mixture will be planted between March 15 and April <br />' 15. If necessary, planting may occur in the latter half of April, <br />but success may be reduced somewhat. The seed mix will be <br />' drilled between one-quarter and one-half inch deep. If needed, <br />' the topsoil will be harrowed first to break up the bed into <br />medium-size clods. If needed, the soil will be disced at least <br />' two times to break the clods into smaller pieces. Erosion <br />control ditches will be constructed. Next, the seed will be <br />' drilled. Seedbed preparation will occur just prior to seeding so <br />that the drilling can be done in a freshly-broken medium. <br />Soil samples will be collected from soil that has been <br />' placed on the area to be seeded and not out of the stockpiles. <br />Tests will be performed at the Colorado State University Soil <br />' Testing Laboratory or other qualified testing facility. The <br />operator will instruct the laboratory to perform a routine test <br />' plus a sodium evaluation. Fertilizers will be applied as and <br />where indicated by the soil analyses. <br />The revegetated area will be closed to grazing during a <br />' period of two years after seeding, or until the Board approves <br />grazing conditions. <br />' No mulching is recommended provided the seed mix is planted <br />' between March 15 and April 15. If planted in the latter half of <br />April, a weed-free mulch at the rate of approximately 2,000 lbs. <br />' per acre will be applied. About 30 lbs. per acre of nitrogen <br />fertilizer will be applied to aid in decomposition of the mulch <br />' without creating nitrogen deficiencies in the young vegetation. <br />' The grass species to be planted should not require any <br />22 <br />
