3-17 <br />Shrubs to be planted will include Utah Serviceberry (Amelanchier <br />• utahensis), Big Sagebrush (Artemisia tridentate), Fourwing Saltbush <br />(Atriplex canescens), Shadscale Saltbush (Atriplex confertifolia), <br />Winterfat (Ceratoides Lantana), True Mountain Mahogany ((;erocarpus <br />montanus), Rubber Rabbitbrush (Chrysothamnus nauseosus), Gambel's <br />Oak (Buercus gambelii), Prostrate Summer Cypress (Xochia prostrate), <br />and Skunkbush (Rh us trilobata). These shrubs will also be direct <br />seeded and will be contained in the seed mixture. Separate seed <br />mixtures may be required to meet the specific planting requirements <br />for the various species. <br />Disturbances in the big sagebrush and greasewood shrubland are <br />relatively small. The disturbance is mainly a widening of the <br />• farming road in the bottom of the valley. In the narrow strips <br />along the road that will be regraded and revegetated, the respective <br />seed mixes for each vegetation type may be drill seeded or broadcast <br />seeded. The planting density will be about 70 seeds per square foot <br />for drill seeding and about 100 seeds per square foot for broadcast <br />seeding. <br />In consultation with the agencies involved in the revegetation at <br />the Munger Canyon Mine, Salt Creek proposes to eliminate Greasewood <br />from its revegetation seed mix. The elimination of greasewood will <br />enhance the value of the land for its post mining use, rangeland and <br />wildlife habitat. The return of the current dense shrub cover may <br />in fact be detrimental. <br /> <br />M R-G9 61/92 <br />
