Soil Sampling Plan and Weed Control Plan <br />Prior to application of topsoil to reclaim azeas, soil sampling will be performed on topsoil <br />areas to ascertain need and rate of application of Nitrogen, Phosphorous, and Potassium. <br />Soil samples will be tested via Colorado State University agricultural laboratory and <br />application rates will be geared to high altitude native grass support levels. In the event <br />that soil sampling results reflect adequate levels of NPK for native grass establishment, <br />no fertilizer application is planned. <br />The site will monitored each season for weedy species identification and evaluation of <br />weed influx onto the site, especially those azeas recently disturbed and under re- <br />vegetation. Chaffee County weed control specialists will be contacted to perform a site <br />review and recommendation for action plan if deemed necessary. <br />Lilly Mines Grass and Forte Seed Mia <br />The following grass and forte seed mix is a seed mix modified from the generic high <br />altitude seed mix recommendation from the USFS fifes, with additions and variety <br />changes to reflect the results of vegetation sampling taken at the site during July, 2005: <br />PLS/ac % of seeds Species Common Name Price/PL5 !b <br />7.20 13.05% Elymus trachycaulus Slender Wheatgrass <br />2.40 50.59% Trisetum spicatum Spike Trisetum <br />1.20 11.80% Poa glauca Tundra Bluegrass <br />0.48 4.05% Phleum alpinum Alpine Timothy <br />0.36 2.28% Festuca thurberi Thurber's Fescue <br />0.24 4.75% Senecio attatus Groundsel <br />0.12 13.49% Epilobium angustifolium Fireweed <br />12.00 PLS lbs.lacre <br />Price/PLS Ib <br />$1.75 <br />$30.00 <br />$15.00 <br />$55.00 <br />$55.00 <br />$125.00 <br />$250.00 <br />$17.40 <br />IS <br />
