F. Section 2.05.4(2)(9e> <br />1) The Division believes that the proposed seed mix in the <br />permit is not desirable The proportions of various seed <br />kinds are not appropriate and the diversity standard cannot <br />be achieved with the species that are planned. The Division <br />is, therefore, proposing the following seed mix: <br />SEED MIX IN POUNDS OF PURE LIVE SEED/ACRE <br />Grasses Lbs PLS/acre Seeds/Sq. Ft. <br />Little Bluestem (Szhizachyrium scoparium) 1# <br />Big Bluestem (Andropogon gerardii> 1# <br />Side Oats Gramma (Bouteloua curtipendula) 2# <br />Western Wheatgrass (Agropyron smlthii) 2# <br />Indian Ricegrass (Oryzopis hymenoides) 1# <br />Green Needlegrass (Stipa viridula) 1# <br />Blue Gramma (Bouteloua gracilis) <br />Forbs <br />Cicer Milkvetch <br />Rocky Mountain Penstemom (Penstemom strictus> <br />American Vetch (Vicia americans) <br />Shrubs <br />Mountain Mahogany (Cerocarpus montanus) <br />Rocky Mountain Juniper (Juniperus scopulorum) <br />Winterfat (Ceratoides Janata) <br />5.18 <br />2.98 <br />6.56 <br />5.18 <br />4.32 <br />4.16 <br />5# 8.16 <br />1# 3.32 <br />.5# 5.6 <br />1# 0.76 <br />~.~ <br />1# 1.35 <br />1# 1.00 <br />1# 2.55 <br />This seed mix should be used for drill seeding; the rate should be doubled if <br />broadcast seeding will be utilized. Also, although the PLS seeding rate is <br />around 14 pounds/acre, the actual amount of seed planted will be higher due to <br />the fact that not all seed purchased is pure live seed. If this mix is <br />presented to a seed company, the seed company will be able to prepare a seed <br />mix containing the proper amount of pure live seed. <br />2) Please include the following vegetation success standards on <br />page 2 of this section: <br />The success standards which were assigned and approved by the <br />Division are as follows: <br />Vegetative cover: 43x <br />Herbaceous production: 514 lbs/ac. (air dry wt.) <br />Woody plant density: 65 stems/acre <br />Diversity: At least three warm season grasses, two cool <br />season grasses and one perennial forb, each contributing at <br />least 3X but not greater than 40X relative cover. <br />-7- <br />
