36. The cited equation was properly amended. Item Resolved. <br />37. The species diversity standard approaches were clarified as requested. Item <br />Resolved. <br />38. Typographical errors were corrected. Item Resolved. <br />39. Statement was deleted as requested. Item Resolved. <br />43. (New Item). There are a couple discrepancies with respect to species/variety <br />nomenclature in several of the seedmixes, which need to be amended to correspond to <br />currently accepted nomenclature. Secar has historically been considered a variety of <br />bluebunch wheatgrass (Pseudoroegneria spicata), but more recently it has been <br />determined to be a variety of Snake River wheatgrass (Elymus wawaensis). Covar is <br />a sheep fescue (Festuca ovina) cultivar, of Turkish origin. Please review the various <br />seedmixes, and make these corrections as appropriate. <br />SCC July 7, 2005 Response to Colorado Division of Wildlife Comments <br />No DMG comment warranted. <br />In response to this DOW recommendation, SCC indicated that mountain <br />big sagebrush seed would be included in Seed Mix lA, which is consistent <br />with amended narrative included in the most recent PR-2 submittal. <br />However, in response to the DOW recommendation, SCC indicated "the <br />sagebrush seed will be broadcast seeded at a rate of 0.25 lbs. per acre". <br />This statement conflicts with SCC's response to Item 28 of DMG's PR-2 <br />adequacy letter, which states "... as far as broadcast or dribble seeding big <br />sagebrush; there are over 700 acres that will ultimately be seeded with <br />Mix 1 A, it is not practical or time/labor efficient to broadcast or dribble <br />seed this many acres." <br />Please refer to the Item 28 request, above. <br />3. SCC's responses to this item are consistent with responses to similaz <br />issues raised by DMG. Tab 22 amendments, including the amended Map <br />Exhibit 22-1 appear to be consistent with the item responses. Note DMG <br />comment regarding variable topsoil replacement, in Item 27, above. Item <br />tentatively resolved, pendin¢ DOW review. <br />4 <br />
