RECLAMA?ION ?LAN <br />with a fast growing grass mixture discussed more fully under REVE('Ei'ATION in <br />. this exhibit. <br />Rk~ERATION: Reveget-.tion of this site is considered to have an average <br />feasibility potential under average weather conditions. In wet years the <br />potential increases. This is due to a combination of slope gradients, slope <br />aspect, and the nature of the growth medium. In above average moisture years <br />the sandy soils are not as limiting as they are in average or below average <br />years. <br />Planting will occur in either the spring oz the fall of the year. If it <br />occurs in the spring the planting dates can be as eazly as February but should <br />not be later than May 15 or reduced success will occur and secondary seeding <br />may be needed. IE planting occurs in the Eall it will not occur earlier than <br />Clctober 1 or later than December 1. Although seeding can occur between <br />December 1 and February 1 it is not recomrended, especially on south facing <br />slopes. <br />The seed mixture will be either broadcast or drilled. The method used <br />will be at the discretion of the permittee. The following seed mixture is <br />. designed for broadcasting. If the seed is to be drilled, then the amount of i <br />seed should be divided ty two. <br />SOLPERG pIT SEEDING - EROADCAST RATES (DIVIDE BY 2 FOR DRILLING) <br />SPECIES PLS lb/acre seeds/lb seeds/sgft <br />WESTERN WHEATGRASS 6 126000 17.3 <br />SIDEOATS GRAMA 9 143000 13.1 <br />BLUE GRAMA 1 711000 16.3 <br />LITTLE BLUESTEYI Z 225000 10.3 <br />GREEN NEEDLDGRASS 3 181000 12.9 <br />INTERMEDIATE WHEAT. 5 97000 11.1 <br />REX~2Er:IV 15 75000 <br />36 1558000 80.7 <br />The seed mixture shown above includes 15 pounds per acre of Regreen (a <br />sterile hybrid of winter wheat and a native wheatgrassl• This is used as a <br />cover crop to help control erosion in the early stages of vegetation <br />development.
