<br />Revegetation could be developed to establish a permanent <br />cover capable of self-regeneration and similar to that of <br />the surrounding area. A diverse stand of vegctatlon Ss most <br />desirable and species used for seeding would follow <br />recommendations of the Soil Conservation Service, the Bureau <br />of Land Management, ar.d Colorado •State University. Grasses <br />could be seeded with a tractor and disc type drill, on t;:e <br />contour, and to a depth of 1/4 to 3/4 inches. They could be <br />seeded at a rate of 18.5 pounds per acr=. The spacing <br />between rows could be 10 to 12 inches. <br />TABLE 1 <br />SPECIES OF GRASSES AHD RAiE OF SEEDI[:G <br />FOR RECLAMAI'I'JH <br />• <br />Species '_bs./Acre <br /> <br />Intermediate [;heat3rass-Aour 6 <br />(A¢ronvron inter-ediu^) <br />Smooth Brc~e-Lincoln 5 <br />(Brcmes int~r~is) <br />Western 4Jheatgrass-Barton 3 <br />(Aa~oovron ~ ithii) <br />Crested [•lheatsrass-iJordan. 2 <br />(pgr_2~yrcr. deser±orum) <br />i Fescue, hard-Uuror 1 <br />(Festuca 9v~r= Curiuscula) <br />{ Kentucky Bluegrass 1 <br /> <br />Alfalfa-ir.noculated ~`2 <br />(Medicano s _ • _) <br />i Total 18.5 <br />The above species are all fast growing and adaptable to the <br />i , <br />i <br />16 <br />
