~~''J .Arthui N. Christensen • ~ -2- • May 25, 1979 <br />a <br />~ _ <br />' 3. ~Small water catchments and ponds should be created on the reclaimed areas. <br />These would provide drinking water for wildlife, create variety in the vege- <br />tative ground cover, improve soil moisture conditions in close proximity to <br />the ponds, reduce erosion and trap silt. <br />4. Moderate forb growth is desirable as a seed source for both songbirds and <br />small mammals. In fact, it would be desirable to include sunflower seeds in <br />the revegetation mixture. Some amount of seed producing annuals should be <br />encouraged. <br />5. Livestock should be fenced off of all reclaimed areas to allow maximum re- <br />growth and reduce competition with wildlife. <br />I hope these comments are helpful. If you have any questions feel free to call <br />me. <br />Sincerely, <br />V <br />ack Vayhi er <br />ildlife B logist <br />JV:km <br />cc: Jim Dennis <br />Chuck Grand Pre <br /> <br />
