3. Reveeetation Plan <br />There will be two revegetation seed mixes which will need to be applied to the reclaimed Halodorson <br />Sand and Gravel Mine. The seed mix which will be applied to the slopes of the pit as well as the flat <br />azeas on the perimeter of the pit will use the seed mix shown below in Table E-2. This seed mix was <br />developed based on apost-mining use of dry rangeland. It should be more than adequate to control <br />erosion for the site and provide good cover. The second seed mix which will be applied to the flatter <br />bottom of the pit will be the same irrigated crops which were growing on the land previous to mining, <br />with flows moving towazds the northeast. Alfalfa was the primary crop. This area will be irrigated in <br />the same manner which occurred before mining. <br />Approximately 30.18 acres will be restored to rangeland and 150.09 acres will be restored to inrigated <br />alfalfa. <br />Table E-3: REVEGETATION SEED MIX <br />Species <br />Galleta (floret) <br />Indian Ricegrass <br />Winterfat <br />Shadscale <br />Scazlet Globemallow <br />Lbs Pure Live Seed,per acre <br />3.0 <br />3.0 <br />0.5 <br />0.5 <br />0_5 <br />Total 7.5 <br />Seed will be drilled into the topsoil and mulch will be applied at the rate of 30001bs per acre, and will <br />be crimped into the soil surface.
