before seeding, the sail surface will be ripped and roughened prior to <br />seeding. (tlore information on this process is included in the ne;:t <br />• section which deals with revegetation.l <br />REVEGETATION: <br />The revegetation of this site may not occur to its fullest extent, <br />depending upon when and if development occurs. Some revegetation will <br />be done irrespective of whether the site is developed ar not. This is <br />necessary, as stated before, in order to reduce wind erasion of the <br />sandy soils. Therefore, even though revegetation is mare or less an <br />alternate plan, same revegetation is a necessity. <br />The sandy sails to be revegetated tend to be rather droughty and <br />therefore species to he used in the revegetation must be carefully <br />selected to survive in such a situation. Deep-rooted species are <br />especially useful in such situations, but most grasses do not root <br />• deeply. However, in other situations it has been noted that very <br />successful grass growth can be acheived through a carefully designed <br />selection of legumes and grasses planted together. <br />Initially, such plantings favor the deeply rooted species and the <br />shallow rooted species, such as grasses, tend to do poorly. But after <br />the first year, the increase in grass growth is very remarkable. This <br />appears to be due to several factors acting together in time. Dur <br />investigations have led to the following scenario. <br />The first year, the legumes grow very strongly and tend to compete <br />for moisture with the grasses. Unless the legume density is very high <br />this competition does not appear to be harmful to the grasses, but only <br /> <br />F'AGE B OF 14 - EXHIBIT E <br />
