VEGETATION INFORMATION <br />araas saedina: The seedbed should be well settled and firm <br />but friable for seed placement. Soils that have been over- <br />compacted by equipment should be tilled to break up rooting <br />restictive layers, then harrowed, rolled or packed to <br />prepare the required firm seedbed. Grass should be drilled <br />using a grass drill. Drilling should be done between <br />November 1 and April 30 prior to a period of anticipated <br />moisture and after all other treatment is completed. <br />Recommended planting depth is i/2 t6 3/4 inches. The <br />following grass species are recommended for reclaiming the <br />area: <br />Variety Species Pure live seed/acre <br />Vaughn Sideoats grams 2.70 <br />Arriba Western wheatgrass 3.20 <br />Blackwell Switchgrass .90 <br />Covington Blue grams .60 <br />Llano, Holt Yellow indiangrass 1.00 <br />(See attached seeding recommendation, CO-BCS-5, Part I) <br />Weed control should be maintained on the site during grass <br />establishment. No grazing should be allowed during the <br />first two growing seasons of stand establishment. After <br />that period, the stand should be evaluated to see if <br />sufficient plant growth has occurred to support gracing. <br />You will find a report from James Borchert, Soil Scientist, <br />attached-that describes his findings on the soil <br />characteristics at the site. <br />If you have any further requests for information or <br />questions on the information provided, please give me a <br />call. i apologize for the delay in getting this information <br />to you. <br />S~inc~er^e_ly, <br />Dawn Jac on <br />Resource onservationist <br />
