E-9 <br />• Surface tillage an<i seedbed preparation will consist of light or <br />shallow tillage operation using a combination of disk harrow and <br />spike-tooth harrow. The final tillage treatment will be <br />performed by a shallow chisel plow on level contour or by using <br />an imprinter or rangeland pitter, where necessary depending upon <br />soil conditions. The purpose is to leave an uneven, erosion- <br />resistant surface ~vhich will aid water infiltration and enhance <br />germination and establishment of seeded and planted species. Any <br />existing vegetation piles will be removed. <br />Seeding Procedure <br />The seed mix applicration rates and seeding techniques are based <br />• on reclamation experience in the area, as well as on <br />consideration of local environmental conditions of soil, slopes, <br />elevation, and precipitation. Use of this seed mixture will <br />result in a rapidly established, diverse, and effective <br />vegetation cover capable of self-regeneration. The seed mixture <br />is shown in Table E--2. For short-term stockpiles or other areas, <br />an interim seed mixture will be utilized, see Table E-3. <br />The availability of seed will determine the ultimate seed <br />mixture and variety of seed used. If a variety of seed is not <br />available, additional seed of one of the seeds listed will be <br />substituted so that the final seeding rate is 12 to 15 lbs. pure <br />live seed (PLS) per acre. <br />• <br />
