<br />REVEGETATION INI'ORMATION <br />A.1. Revegetation of the distrrbed areas with grasses can best be ac ~r~pl_iehed ~~"-l, <br />by using one or more of the following: - "-" <br />a. Native species _ ;l 19 r.0 <br />1. Indian Ricegrass - 12# of pure live seed per acre <br />2. Sand dropseed - .4# of pure live seed per acre <br />3. Needle-and-threadgrass - 15# of pure live seed per ac ' <br />b. Domestic species <br />1. Fairway crested wheatgrass - 6# of pure live seed per acre <br />2. Western wheatgrass - 32# of pure live seed per acre <br />3. Pubescent wheatgrass - 18# of pure live seed per acre <br />2, If one grass type is to be seeded, use the poundage given above. If a <br />mixture of grasses is to be seeded, divide the appropriate poundage by <br />the number of grasses to be included within the mixture. <br />3. The poundage figures given above represent the number of pounds per <br />acre to be broadcast seeded. This will usually be the only economical <br />and feasible method of seeding due to inaccessibility of the areas for <br />farm type equipment and~or steep slopes. <br />4• Planting dates - September 1 until freeze-up to utilize winter moisture. <br />5. Fertilizer recommendations are not applicable for these sites due to <br />the lack of moisture. Fertilizer may do more harm than good. Without <br />adequate supplies of moisture, fertilizers may burn the grasses. <br />B.1, Revegetation of the disturbed areas with shrubs can best be accomplished <br />by using one or more of the following: <br />a. Mountain Mahogany - spaced approximately 12 feet apart <br />b. Bitter brush - spaced approximately 12 feet apart <br />2. A source o£ stock will probably make the revegetation of these shrub <br />types impractical. <br />3, If revegetation is desired with the above two shrub types, protection <br />from grazing must be planned so that root stock is not grazed for the <br />first 2 to 3 years after planting. <br />C.1. Revegetation of the distrubed areas with trees can best be accomplished <br />by using one or more of the following: <br />a. Pinyon Pine - spaced approximately 15 feet apart <br />b. Rocky Mountain Juniper - spaced approximately 10 feet apart <br />c. Douglas Fir - spaced approximately 20 feet apart <br />d. Ponderosa Pine - spaced approximately 20 feet apart <br />2. A source of stock that is reliable and economically feasible is available <br />through the Mesa Soil Conservation District, P.O. Box 2418, Grand Junction, <br />Colorado 81502, Phone - 242-4511. <br />
