are, will need to be seeded to protect them. These will be <br />• seeded with the following mixture. The seed will be <br />broadcast. <br />SPECIES RATE (#PLS/ACRE-BROADCAST) <br />Intermediate Wheatgrass 5 <br />Russian Wildrye 4 <br />White Clover 1.25 <br />10.25 <br />In this mixture the White Clover will provide some <br />organic nitrogen when the soil is replaced and the grasses <br />.gill provide some additional protection from erosion. Some <br />carryover into the final seeding via vegetative and <br />reproductive propagules will occur, but it should amount to <br />not more than about 10% of the final mixture thereby not <br />causing unnecessary and undesirable imbalance in the final <br />seed mixture. <br />Mulch will be applied on south and west facing slopes. <br />The mulch will be straw crimped in and applied at the rate <br />of 2000 pounds per acre. Mulched areas will receive an <br />extra 25 pounds of N per acre to allow for nitrogen <br />• utilization in the decomposition process so as to prevent <br />developing an undesirable C/N ratio and it's resulting <br />nitrogen deficiencies. Level, east, and north facing slopes <br />should not need a mulch if topsoiled to the proper depth. <br />The seeded areas will be periodically examined in a <br />search for weed densities and, in particular, the presence <br />of noxious weed species. Areas of excessive weed densities <br />that appear to be causing excessive moisture competition <br />will be mowed unless the weeds are noxious species. If <br />noxious weeds are found selective spraying with an <br />appropriate chemical agent will be used. General spraying <br />will be used only if a general infestation is found. The <br />selective approach helps retain as much clover as possible. <br />If a general treatment is needed and performed and the <br />clover killed, it will be re-established after the noxious <br />weeds are controlled. <br />No irrigation will be used to establish the vegetation. <br />It is not deemed necessary in this area. Also, the final <br />growth resulting from revegetation without irrigation is <br />usually more capable of withstanding the extremes of <br />climate. <br /> <br />- 18 - <br />
