• yearn of the eztended liability period, as described under Hule <br />2.05.4(2)(e). <br />Productivity data collected immediately prior to the initiation <br />of grazing will be utilized to determine proper stocking rates. The <br />comawnly accepted premise that 1,000 pounds of air dry forage equals <br />one animal unit month grazing per acre, will be used to calculate <br />stocking rates, This cooaervative satinets will assure that an <br />adequate quantity of forage is available for deer, elk, and other <br />wildlife species. <br />Based upon current stocking rates on andiaturbed land, <br />poatmining stocking rates will average approzimately 1.4 Animal Onit <br />• Months (ADM's) of grazing per acre. All grazing-related activities <br />will be conducted according to the O.S. Department of Agriculture, <br />Soil Conservation Service (1976) National Hangs Handbook chapters on <br />"Managing Plant Communities", and "Procedures for Planning {wildlife <br />Habitat Management on Native Grazing Land", <br />An enact timetable for initiation of grazing cannot be <br />predicted because adverse weather may affect the rate of stand <br />establishment and grazing readiness. After CYCC demonstrates that <br />the vegetation on the reclaiied surface can withstand utilization, <br />grazing trials will be initiated as outlined under Hule 2.05.4. A <br />reasonable estimate is that grazing trials will start approainately <br />• 13 or 14 years after seeding. <br />2.05 - 105 <br />
