INTRADEPARTMENT MEMO . <br /> OOH FORM NO. 37 <br /> (30000) 03 <br /> Rev. Aug . 1978 <br />1 <br />r <br />STATE OF COLORADO <br />STATE DEPARTMENT OF HIGHWAYS <br />DIVISION OF HIGHWAYS <br />' GRAND JUNCTION, COLORADO 81501 <br />TO: R.G. Lucas <br />FROM: J.J. Lance <br />RE: Seeding Mixture/Reclamation Guidelines for Myrin Pit near Toponas <br /> - - <br /> After re ading through the SCS information supplied, I have developed the <br /> followin g seed mixture. This mixture is an adaptation of our District 3 <br /> Seeding Manual mixture for Zone 3. <br />' The foll <br />process. owing is a sequential list of steps to fallow in the reclamation <br /> 1) Establish pit limits and allow room for topsoil that is stripped <br />' off the surface to be stockpiled. <br /> 2) Flatten slopes, bury oversized material or remove it from the site. <br /> 3) The surface of the subsoil material should be left in a roughened <br /> condition to allow topsoil to bind together with it. <br />' 4) Topsoil shall be redistributed in a uniform depth. The site should <br /> then be worked with an implement such as a disk or spring-tooth <br /> harrow to a depth of (4-6") four to six inches. This is the time <br />' to distribute the fertilizer so that it may be worked into the soil. <br /> 5) Fertilizer such as Ammonium phosphate sulphate (16-20-0) applied at <br /> a rate of 300 L85 per acre will provide sufficient nutrient. This <br />' material should be applied just prior to seeding and worked into soil. <br />• 6) Seed bed should be firm but not packed. <br />' <br /> 7) Drill seed or if broadcast double the rate and use a harrow or drag <br /> chains to cover seed approximately ~ to 3/4 of an inch deep. <br /> 8) Mulch either with 1~ tons/ac of native grasshay or 2 tons of clean straw <br /> that is of sufficient length to be crimped into the soil. <br />' 9) Protect area from people, livestock, and vehicles until seedlings are <br /> established. <br /> <br /> <br />i~ <br />
