being the slowest. The sight reclamation area will be encouraged to <br />• develop more rapidly. The air vents or accesses thereto if needed within <br />the 80 acre mining tract will need little revegetation as only a small <br />amount of area is disturbed and grown over rapidly. <br />Preparation of the Seed Bed - After preparation of the soil, fertilizer <br />would be added as described previously. Any gross irregularities would <br />be removed by light dragging of the surface. The area would then be <br />ready for seeding. <br />Seeding - Customarily, during the month of April seeding w~~uld be <br />accomplished as this is the best time for utilizing the re,~sonably <br />reliable spring rains. Species to be seeded will be: <br />Species Rate (Lbs. PLS/a~;re) <br />Pubescent Wheatgrass 6 <br />Indian Ricegrass 4 <br />Western Wheatgrass 6 <br />• Sideoats Grama 4 <br />Little Bluestem 2 <br />Mountain Muhly 2 <br />Arizona Fescue 2 <br />Cicer Milkvetch (innoc. & Scarified) 2 <br />Blue Grama 2 <br />30 <br />Seeding will be done by broadcasting uniformly o~~er the <br />prepared site. Drilling of the seed has been considered ar.d rejected <br />because the soil would probably be too rocky and because fe.w drills are <br />capable of seeding fluffy seeds properly without the use of a carrier such <br />as oats. Although more seed must be used it is believed a more uniform <br />distribution can be obtained using broadcast methods. <br />After the seed has been broadcast the seeded area will be <br />dragged lightly to bury the seed. In this medium much of the seed will <br />• be placed between 1/2 and 1 inch deep using this method. <br />Irrigation - No irrigation will be used on the site by Castle Concrete <br />5-E-7 <br />
