<br />possible the predisturbed land type of wildlife habitat surrounding the reservoir sites. Evergreen uees will be <br />concentrated on north facing slopes to preserve the vegetated appearance that naturally exists along the Front <br />Range. <br />Seeding of a native grass seed mix wilt be performed by the hydroseeding method. This method allows for <br />seeding on fairly steep slopes, provides complete coverage, and combines mulch, fertilizer, tackifier, and seed <br />together in one application. <br />The proposed hydroseed mixture per acre is [he same as provided in earlier permit submittals and is as follows: <br />GRASS TYPE AMOUNT/ACRE"' <br />Western Wheatgrass, Native 8.0 Ibs/acre <br />Slender Wheatgrass 7.0 Ibs/acre <br />Ephraim Crested Wheatgrass 5.0 Ibs/acre <br />Vaughn Sideoats Grama 6.0 Ibs/acre <br />Blue Grama, Native 5.0 Ibs/acre <br />Apaz Blue Flax 3.0 Ibs/acre <br />Indian Ricegrass 5.0 Ibs/acre <br />Perennial Ryegrass 2.0 Ibs/acre <br />Hard Fescue 3.0 Ibs/acre <br />Reubens Canada Bluegrass 4.0 Ibs/acre <br />TOTAL 48.0 Ibs/acre <br />"' Amount per acre reported indicates "pure live seed". <br />The hydromulch and soil amendments to be combined with the hydroseed mixture is as follows: <br />• One ton/acre hydromulch; <br />• l50 Ibs/acre tackifier; and <br />• 250 Ibs/acre 18-46-0 fertilizer. <br />A substitute for inorganic fertilizer would be to apply 500 to L,000 Ibs/acre of B[OSOL (an organic soil <br />enhancer). <br />Upon sustained, regenerative native grass establishment, shrubs and trees that are acclimatized to this area will <br />be manually transplanted from local nursery stock. These will be in the form of containerized or tubeling vees <br />and shrubs. Density of plantings and types to be used are those that have been previously approved in the <br />existing permit and amendments, and which are currently providing successful reclamation in the North and <br />Central Quarries. Timed irrigation using "spaghetti tubing" with emitters has been practiced with success on <br />tree and shrub plantings in the older parts of the North Quarry. This practice may be utilized for a maximum <br />of three years in order to "wean" the plants to the natural meteorological cycle. In addition, CAMAS has <br />recently been experimenting with individual plantings designed to capture and retain natural moisture in the <br />G:WROfECISV'OUaOOTTEXTAFffNDOS TXT V - 4 <br />
