COLORADO A1:,02 <br />TO: J.E. Sutherland <br />FROM: Jim Lance <br />RE: Maintenance Pit on Independence Pass <br />-).4TF.: September 17, 1980 <br />Concerning the rehabilitation of this area following gravel extraction, I would make <br />th2se comments: <br />1. A soil sample should be sent to CSU for testing of nutrient levels. <br />2. All existing trees (12) twelve inches in height and smaller should be transplanted <br />at the proper time to the buffer area between the pit and Highway 82. This will <br />help increase the density of the screening and save the trees. <br />3. Careful consideration should be given to the physical layout of the stockpile and <br />plant site so as not to pollute the creek on the west boundary. <br />4. No cutting or Pilling should be allowed within the dripline of the tree. The <br />dripline being the tips of the branches. <br />5. Any duff or topsoil should be salvaged and stockpiled for later use. <br />6. Revegetation should include the planting of seedling lodgepole pine as per <br />Forest Service recommendations as to the number per acre, season of planting, etc. <br />7. Grasses and fortis seeded should be at the following rates and types: <br />'Manchar` Smooth Brome <br />Meadow Foxtail <br />Slender Wheatgrass <br />Timothy <br />'Reubens' Canada Bluegrass <br />'Durar' Hard Fescue <br />Dutch White Clover <br />Yarrow <br />Lbs. of Pure <br />Live Seed/Acre <br />Bromus inermis 'Manchar' 7.0 <br />Alopecurus pratensis i.0 <br />Agropyron trachycaulum 5.0 <br />Phleum pratense 1.0 <br />Poa compressa 0.5 <br />Festuca ovina duriscula 'Durar' 1.0 <br />Trifolium repens 1.0 <br />Achilles lanulosa millefolium 0.5 <br />T07AL 17.0 <br />This mixture yields 165 pure liveseeds/sq.ft. <br />• <br />
