<br />MLRB <br />Page 4 <br />In all areas which are to be revegetated or which may <br />require reseeding, the recommendations in the attached Oikos <br />letter will be followed. The plans are summarized below. <br />1. Collect Dacona-derived soil samples and sandy <br />soil samples in January of the year in which seeding is to be <br />done. <br />2. Have samples tested and analyzed at the Soil Test- <br />ing Laboratory, Colorado State University. <br />3. Drill seed to a depth of one-third inch in Dacona- <br />derived soils between March 15 and April 15 with the follow- <br />ing mixture: <br />Species Lbs PLS/acre <br />Western Wheatgrass 5 <br />Streambank Wheatgrass 4 <br />Intermediate Wheatgrass 4 <br />Green Needlegrass 3 <br />Russian Wildrye 2 <br />Total Lbs/Acre 18 <br />4. Drill seed to a depth of one-half to three-quarters <br />of an inch in sandy soils between A4arch 15 and April 15 with <br />the following mixture: <br />Species <br />Lbs PLS/acre <br />Sand Bluestem 4 <br />Sand Dropseed 0.125 <br />Switchgrass 1 <br />Thickspike Wheatgrass 2 <br />Yellow Sweetclover (innoculated) 0.5 <br />Total LbsJAcre 7.625 <br />5. Mulch Dacona-derived soils with 1500 pounds seed- <br />free straw boosted with nitrogen fertilizer only if winter has <br />been unusually dry. <br />6. Mulch sandy soils with 2000 pounds seed-free straw <br />boosted with nitrogen fertilizer except in unusually wet winter <br />and spring seasons. <br />7. Fertilize in accordance with recommendations of <br />Soil Testing Laboratory after samples have been analyzed. <br />
