In the event a subsequent developer desires to irrigate to <br />• obtain a more lush, highly managed vegetation that will be the developers <br />choice, <br />PToody Vegetation - Shrubs and trees will play an important role in <br />reclaiming the site. They are the reason why so much pla.zt growth <br />medium is placed on the terraces. <br />Species to he used will include R}ius trilobata (S};unkbrush), <br />Cercocarpus montanus (Mountain Mahogany), and Quercus gaml~elli (Oakbrush). <br />The Sl:unkbrush can be obtained from the Colorado State Forest Service, <br />Fountain Mahogany from private sources, and Oakbrush from transplants. <br />Most shrubs would be planted in clumps of 4 to '~ on t:ie <br />terraces. The actual numbers and locations cannot be detE~rmined until <br />• tl~e final amount of area would be available for calculation. It can be <br />said that shrubs would occupy approximately 70~ of the area where woody <br />vegetation would be planted cahich includes about 75~ of tkie area to be <br />revegetated. >,ach species would have to he handled individually as to <br />location and number used. <br />Planted along with the shrubs ~oould be a number of trees. D1ost <br />of the ,trees 4rould be Ponderosa Pine on the west and north sides of the <br />quarry and Pinon Pine and Juniper on the east side of the quarry. This <br />would blend well with natural patterns. The number of trees would vary <br />with the species and the mixture of species as well as the visual effect <br />desires. The ponderosas and pinyons ceould be fairly widely spaced and <br />would be planted in the sight reclamation area. Generally Ponderosa <br />Pine hmuld be planted about 2Q to 30 feet apart so crowding would not <br /> <br />S->,-8F <br />
