1 <br />' side of the lake. The landforms, coupled. with the trees, will <br />form a picnic area indicated on the RECLAMATION MAP. <br />Revegetation - Three species of trees will be planted at the site, <br />' including cottonless cottonwood (Populus Sargentii), willow (Salix <br />Sp.) and Russian olive (Elae Agnus Argustifolia). The cottonless <br />' cottonwood, willow, and Russian olive all thrive in this area and <br />have rapid rates of growth. The cottonwood trees can reach a <br />height of 15 to 20 feet in a five year growth period and will last <br />' an average of 60 to 80 years and the Russian olive takes from four <br />to six years to mature. A grass mixture of western wheat and yellow <br />' sweet clover will be applied to the reclamation site at a rate of <br />30 pounds per acre. The grasses will be planted with either a drill <br />1 seeding machine or utilizing a hydro seeding method. Those two <br />strains will require a minimum amount of irrigation. <br /> The cost for the new vegetation is estimated to be approx- <br />' $8 <br />Thi <br />i <br />l <br />090 i <br />i <br />l <br />d <br />ll l <br />b <br />hi ill <br />h <br /> mate <br />, <br />y <br />. <br />s e st <br />mate <br />a <br />or costs, w <br />nc <br />u <br />es a w <br />c <br />' be done in-kind by the County, as well as the expense of the trees <br /> which are raised in the County nursery.
