The agreement for the cover work called for <br />6 - 9" of dirt. A cover of 6 - 12" was placed between October 31 and November <br />15, 1987. Broadcast seeding of the site was done the first week in December <br />with 30#/acre of a dry land pasture mix consisting of: <br />25% Lincoln Smooth Brome <br />5% Intermediate Wheatgrass <br />15% Perennial Ryegrass, Tetraploid <br />10% Annual Ryegrass <br />10% Slender Wheatgrass <br />20% Crested Wheatgrass <br />15% Russian Wildrye <br />Due to the fertility of the dirt used, T-3 and T-4, Table 2.04.9 (1)(b)-1 in <br />the permit application, no fertilizer was used. A straw blower was used to <br />distribute approximately 1.5 tons per acre of oat straw during the first half <br />of January 1987. <br />Let me know if there are any further questions about the work done at the Delta <br />Site. <br />Sincerely, <br />Lr.~s ~ ~~ /~ ft¢ <br />LarrylM.
