• 3. 6 inches (15 cm) of live haul topsoil over spoil and seeded with native shrubs and low-
competitive native forbs. Surface manipulations included to enhance soil moisture conditions.
The seed mixture for this treatment is presented in Table 1.
4. Non-topsoiled spoil seeded with relatively unpalatable native shrubs, low-competitive native
forbs, and low~ompetitive native grasses. See Table 3 for the seed mixture used in this
treatment.
5. Non-topsoiled spoil, strip seeded as described in No. I above.
Test plot construction was completed in November 2000. Unfavorable weather prevented
seeding in the fall of 2000, so plots were seeded in April, 2001. Fencing of half the study area was
completed in the spring of 2002. Commercial mycorrhi7al inocultun was applied to 1.5-m wide strips in
each plot at Trapper Mine in order to evaluate the potential for such a treatment to improve shrub
establishment. This inoculation treatment was applied in May, 2001 by Trapper Mine petsottnel.
