<br />-3- <br /> <br />SHRUBS: Native Plants,Salt Lake City, Utah. <br />The two naturalized species, crested and intermediate wheat <br />grass, are commercially available. <br />NOTE: This species mixture was developed from recommendations <br />from "Restoring Big Game Range in Utah", A. F. Plummer; also <br />results from "Surface Rehabilitation of Land Disturbances resulting <br />from Oil Shale Developr.~ent", C.S.U. Report 1974; recommendations of <br />Clyde George, local S.C.S. agent; and extensive research at Para- <br />chute Creek, Logan Wash and Piceance Creek by the author. <br />Straw will be used as a mulch and crimped in at the rate of <br />2 tons per acre. <br />These two benches are expected to have a productivity that <br />will exceed the original 30 acres of disturbed land. <br />The slopes on Area #1 cover an area of 20 acres. Topsoil will <br />not be added. Due to the steepness, any added topsoil would move <br />downward due to gravity. Biological islands will be created by <br />transplanting tubelings of shrubs. Shrub species to be planted <br />are: <br />Pershia tridentata (Antelope bitterbrusli) <br />~~uercus gambellii (scrub oak) <br />Pinus edulus (sinyom pine) <br />Juniperus ostepsperma (Utah Junipers) <br />Forbs: <br />Hedysarum boreole (Utah Sweet vetch) <br />Penstemon palmeri (Palmer penstemon) <br />Sphaeralcea sp.
