not actually a corrxtive action. Pathways created during the remova:: will be <br />seeded as a normal course of action prior to completing the reclamati~~n of Phase 1. <br />C J <br />SLOE REFKaBILITATIDN: The slope above the drainage where the racks rolled <br />and bounced down the hill has sustained local damage, but generally i~a in quite good <br />condition. In order to help reduce the p~}-osion potential of this area, the slope <br />will be seeded with a grass mixture as follows. This mixture has been designed to <br />provide excellent and rapid cover on a west facing slope in a rocky soil. The <br />mixture will not be spread generally over the slope, but rather spot needed in those <br />areas where surface damage occurred. <br />SEED M I X FCR CCi7RECT I VE ACT ICiV aV LEST SLOPE ~ PI-IASE 1. <br />• <br />• <br />SPECIES lb/acre seeds/lb seeds/sgft acres lbs.

Most of the surface gouges are! small and <br />will not require any grading work. <br />Tree planting will be done to rehabilitate the lost tree cover. Although only <br />about 6 to 12 trees were lost to the spillage, a total of 60 trees will be planted. <br />After an estimated 40'/. to 50% mortality, the number of trees which would be expected <br />to develop to maturity should equal or exceed the number of trees lost as a result <br />of the damage. Trees to be used will be Colorado State Forest Service containerized <br />seedlings. The species to be planted will be Douglas Fir and Pondero=_~a Pine. These <br />are the same species which currently dominate the area. <br />Grass seed will also be spread over much of the area near the rccks in the <br />bottom of the drainage to help accelerate the recovery.
