Grasses planted in early spring should be warm season cover crops. The permanent <br /> grass seed should then be drilled into the cover crop in early fall without additional tillage. <br /> Grasses planted in the early fall should be permanent grasses and covered with straw <br /> mulch at a rate of 3,000-4,000 pounds per acre immediately following seeding. The straw <br /> should them be crimped into the soil to control erosion until the grass becomes <br /> established. <br /> Seed rate mixes and ratios are listed on the table immediately following this discussion. <br /> This information was provided by the West Greeley SCD. <br /> If a significant invasion of noxious weeds occurs, the area will be mowed periodically for <br /> control. Weeds will be mowed when they reach a height of six to twelve inches <br /> throughout the first growing season. Mechanical control will be used as a first priority. <br /> Chemical methods will only be used if no other alternative produces acceptable results. <br /> Clusters of trees and shrubs will be planted on the property during reclamation. The trees <br /> and shrubs to be used will be selected from the following lists: <br /> TREES SHRUBS <br /> Russian Olive Antelope Bitterbrush <br /> Siberian Elm Fourwing Saltbush <br /> Green Ash Hansen Rose <br /> Hackberry Rabbit Brush <br /> Cottonwood Siberian Peabush <br /> Eastern Red Cedar Tatarian Honeysuckle <br /> Rocky Mountain Juniper Skunkbush <br /> Ponderosa Pine Sumac <br /> Scotch Pine Lilac <br /> No more than 30% of the total number of the trees and shrubs shall be any one single <br /> specie. <br /> E-4 <br />
