• Revised 12/21/82 <br />Prior to topsoiling, the graded spoil will be ripped with a <br />large bulldozer to a.depth of 36 inches. topsoiling will be done <br />during August and September Seedbed preparation will consist of <br />double discing and possibly harrowing prior To drilling. <br />Soil Testing <br />After the topsoil has been respread, soil samples will be <br />taken. These will be analyzed for their nutrient status of <br />nitrogen, phosphate and potassium. If deficiencies are found in <br />the topsoil, fertilizer will be applied to correct the problem. <br />Revegetation <br />All seeded species will be planted using a rangeland drill <br />pulled by a standard tractor along the contour. Grasses, (orbs <br />• and shrubs will total 17.75 pounds of P.L.S./acre if all species <br />are available aT time of seeding (Table 4(b)). Dr. Warren <br />Keamnerer, vegetation consultant, has studied the seed mix below <br />to determine quantities of each species To be seeded and <br />availability of seeds. Seeds emphasized are those most likely to <br />be available. <br />A number of fortis suggested for incorporation by the AhLRB <br />staff have been rejected. Lupinus sp. was rejected because the <br />seeds are toxic to domestic livestock. Antennaria (Pussytoes), <br />Phlox muscoides, Aster, and PoTentilla were rejected because they <br />are not commercially available. Sagebrush seeds will be included <br />in the seed mix; if seeding does not produce adequate results, <br />tubular (containerized) stock will be planted. <br />Seeding gill be in the full, befarc ~•luvemb~r 15. The <br />spacing between drill rows will be 12 inches and the seeds will <br />be planted to a depth of l/4 to 3(4 inches. <br /> <br />
