The soil at this particular site is s Tine gravelly sandy loam. <br />Aa interpretation sheet is attached givibg the description and the natural <br />vegetation of this soil. <br />It is suggested that the sloping areas be sloped to a j to 1 slope or preferr- <br />• ably flatter. At least a 3 inch cover of topsoil be placed on the disturbed <br />areas and mixed with the underlying materail. <br />The species best suited and readily available from a commercial seed dealer <br />are: <br />Crested Wheatgrass 6 pounds per acre <br />Luna Pubescent Ylheatgrass 12 Founds per acre <br />Yellow blossom Sweet Clover 1 pound per acre. <br />The above stated seeding rates are for seeding with a drill. If the are is <br />broadcast seeded these rates should be doubled. Cover seeds 'r to yz inch <br />deep. If broadcast the seeding could be hand raked to get adequate cover <br />on the seed. Late fall seeding would be the most desirable. <br />There is the problem of trashand refuse from the sawmill that will need to <br />be buried, hauled off and/or burned to prepare this area for serege6~tion. <br />L~~ <br />Ly R.
