These azeas aze <br />shown on the attached map, 2006 Interseeding & Chronological Revegetation. <br />The attached seed mix is to be used as an interseeding mix in previously revegetated areas that have a low established <br />perennial vegetative cover but a fair presence and diversity of perennial spedes, particularly fortis. Since these azeas <br />typically have lower perennial grass cover than more successful revegetated azeas, the interseeding mix contains <br />predominately native perennial grasses. Mountain big sagebmsh and snowberry have been added to increase woody <br />density. <br />Portions of 1997, 1998 and 1999 seeded blocks aze included in the azeas to be intetseeded. This mix may be used to <br />intetseed other azeas with similar characteristics in the future. <br />Enclosed ate two (2) copies of the seedmix and the location map for your review. This information will be submitted <br />as part of the 2006 Annual Reclamation Report If them aze questions or commenu, please contact me (Roy Kazo @ <br />(970) 846-3648) ox Vern Pfannenstiel @ (928) 677-5129. <br />Sincerely, <br />Roy A.
