3-15 <br />3.5.4 h1ULCHING <br />On slopes flatter than 3H 1V, mulch will be applied in two stages. <br />Before seeding 2,000 lb/ac of clean straw or native hay will be <br />spread and crimped into the surface. Following seeding and <br />harrowing, another 2,000 16/ac of straw or native hay will be <br />spread. <br />On slopes steeper than 1V 3H, straw or native hay will be applied <br />at the rate of 3,000 16/ac following seeding. This mulch will be <br />anchored with degradable netting. <br />3.5.5 PLANTING TIMES <br />Seed will be planted during late summer or early fall to take <br />advantage of the period of highest precipitation, which begins in <br />• August. Fall planting also allows overwintering of ungerminated <br />seed if there is a dry fall. The spring soil moisture will then <br />initiate germination. <br />3.5.6 IRRIGATION AND FERTILIZATION <br />No irrigation will be used on the reclaimed areas. Upon <br />reclamation, an analysis of the soils will be made to determine the <br />fertilization requirements of the areas involved. If the analysis <br />shows that the soil is deficient in phosphorus,~t will be added to <br />the soil prior to seeding. Other elements will be added the year <br />after seeding. Unneeded fertilization and irrigation will be <br />avoided. Native plants have low potential response to fertilizer <br />and undesirable weed competition is likely. <br />rtR-o9 6/1/92 <br />
