On drilled sites the hay or straw will be crimped with a serrated disc or <br />other appropriate equipment. On steeper slopes and areas where <br />crimping is not feasible, straw or hay will be anchored down using a <br />tackifier, netting, or a tackifier mixed with wood or wood/paper fiber. <br />The tackifier will be applied in accordance with manufacturer's <br />specifications with consideration of the type and quantity of mulch <br />applied, slope, soil conditions and other applicable factors. <br />(v) No irrigation or disease control measures are planned at this time. <br />Pest control will primarily involve control of noxious weeds. The <br />noxious weeds that have been identified on site are White Top and <br />Russian Knapweed. If noxious weed infestations occur at levels which <br />may interfere with successful revegetation or are detrimental to stand <br />quality, weed control using herbicides will be implemented. White Top <br />and Russian Knapweed will be sprayed with Curtail, 2.0 oz/gallon. It will <br />not be applied when spray particles may be carried by air currents to <br />areas where desirable plants are growing. Russian knapweed should <br />be sprayed in the spring and fall. White Top must be sprayed in early <br />spring. Spraying will be done by use of a backpack spray system or an <br />ATV mounted spray tank <br />Vegetation at the North Decline is dominated by cheatgrass to the <br />detriment of other more desirable grasses. During the fall of 2005 and <br />2006, cheatgrass at the North Decline will be sprayed with the <br />herbicide Plateau, in accordance with the manufacturer's <br />recommendations, at the rate of 6 ounces per acre. Approximately <br />three weeks after the second treatment, the treated areas will be <br />interseeded with the seedmix presented on Table 14-14. <br />14-17 (Rev. 09/05) <br />
