legumes at the expense of the grasses. Also, mulches can create the <br />same condition, where the boast tv legumes far exceeds the value to the <br />• grasses and the grasses never develop well, at least for several years <br />until the interacticns can become readjusted. Using this approach, the <br />following is the process of revegetating this site. <br />Planting will occur between late February and early April. There <br />is a preference at this site far planting in early to mid March, but <br />anytime between mid February and mid April can 6e nearly as good. After <br />mid April no planting should occur as the moisture conditions are <br />inappropriate for seeding sandy soils. In those cases planting should <br />be delayed until the next year. <br />Seeding will occur into sail which has been spread within the <br />previous month. The sail should he left very loose and rough sm there <br />is a location far the seed to become buried through micro-erosion and <br />• frost action. In the event the soil has become smooth through wind <br /> and/or water erosion (either because of being placed earlier than <br />is appropriate or through unusually severe storms) then the soil should <br />he loosened and roughened. <br />Seeding will 6e done by broadcasting the mixture on the top of the <br />sail. Although broadcasting does not produce a uniform distribution, <br />the randomness of broadcasting is especially valuable on slopes as well <br />as creating a mare natural appearing vegetation pattern. <br />Fertilization should he done in accordance with sail tests <br />performed an either stockpiled topsoil or on the soil after it has been <br />spread, if tine permits. The latter approach is preferred, but often <br />• <br />F'AGE 11 OF 14 - EXHIPIT E <br />
