That a discrepancy in the seed rate <br />used on the reseeding of the sediment ponds at Kaiser Steel <br />Resources, Colorado Coal Mine No. 1 has been found. The <br />seeding rate furnished to you specified all seed was to be <br />planted at Pure Live Seed rate. It was discovered that all <br />the shrubs were planted at bulk rate, which translates to <br />only 20 to 35 percent of the PLS Lbs of seed specified has <br />been planted, according to the seed tags furnished to us by <br />your subcontractor, Geisman Seeding. All of the grasses <br />appear to have been planted at the correct PLS rate. In <br />discussions with Geisman seeding, and the seed supplier, <br />Arkansas Valley seed Co., no explanation could be given for <br />this discrepancy. <br />Kaiser Steel Resources feels, to remedy this situation, <br />you will replant the correct PLS rate of the shrubs specified <br />in the contract at your expense. This should be done in early <br />spring 1993 to take advantage of the spring moisture. To keep <br />the damage to a minimum, and to not destroy what vegetation <br />is on the site, we recommend the seeding should be done by <br />using a drill seeder, without preparing the soil by discing. <br />If you have any questions please feel free to contact me <br />at the number above. <br />.
