~~age [. <br />Exhibit J <br />Mulching - The rate of 4000 pounds per acre is the average rate for mulching but <br />the straw should not be applied before the seeding is completed. Crimping can be <br />done with a disc but the results may be less than satisfactory. A crimper should <br />be used whenever possible. Plastic netting is good on steep slopes when stapled <br />in place over the mulch in lieu of crimping. <br />Seeding - Seeding can generally be done anytime after October 15. Sand drop seed <br />occurs naturally on the site and likely has a considerable seed source to reseed <br />itself. Pubescent wheatgrass would be a better species to provide soil protection <br />since it is a sid forming grass. Sainfoin or Cicer milkvetch are better suited <br />legumes for reclamation purposes than yellow sweetclover as they will provide a <br />good perennial ground cover. <br />Variety S ep cies <br />~ of Mixture <br />Rate/acre PLS <br />Fairway Crested Wheatgrass 40 1.2 <br />Luna Pubescent 4lheatgrass 20 1.8 <br />Arriba Western Wheatgrass 20 1.6 <br />Vinal Russian IVildrye 10 0.5 <br />Onar Sainfoin 5 1.25 <br />Monarch Cicer Milkvetch 5 0.33 <br /> 6.68 <br />Species List <br />Grasses: <br />Scientific Name <br />Height (inches) <br />blue grama Bouteloua gracilis 3 - 8 <br />sideoats grama Bouteloua curtipendula 16 - 24 <br />western wheatgrass Agropyron smithii 24 - 3b <br />alkali sacaton Sporobolus airiodes 18 - 20 <br />sand drapseed Sporobolus cryptandrus 24 - 30 <br />needleandthread Stipa comata 20 - 24 <br />vine mesquite hlilaria obtusum 6 - 10 <br />red threeawn Aristida longiseta 4 - 6 <br />Shrubs and Forbs: <br />skunkbush sumac Rhus trilobata 30 - 52 <br />hoptree Ptelea trifoliate 60 <br />tall rabbitbrush Chrysothamnus nauseosus 48 <br />winterfat Certoides Janata 24 - 30 <br />Bigelow sagebrush Artemesia bigelovii 8 - 12 <br />four-wing saltbush Atriplex canescens 36 - 48 <br />snakeweed Xanthocephalum sarathrae 4 - 6 <br />buckwheat spp. Eriogonum 8 - 16 <br />small soapweed Yucca glauca 12 - 20 <br />cudweed sagewort Artemesia glomerate 8 - 15 <br />prickly pear Opuntia polycantha 4 - 6 <br />cholla Opuntia imbricate 24 - 36 <br />juniper Juniperus monosperma 72 -108 <br />pinion Pinus edulis 72 -108 <br />
