5. Seed mixes for topsoil protection and reclamation.
Based upon recommendations by USDA-NRCS (Robert Fuller, Letter of 17 AUG 2000
and Fax of 30 AUG 2000):
For temporary seeding for stabilization and protection of stockpiles:
Either use the orchardgrass and meadow brome if you are going to irrigate the
spoil pile. If not, a drought tolerant, easily established mix such as perennial rye
(Lolium perenne) with strawberry clover (Tiifolium fragiferum, var. pa/estine) would
be adequate. All seedings should be mulched with approximately 4000 lbs. of
weed-free straw crimped into the seedbed with tracked equipment. An alternative
is a temporary mix consisting of sanfoin and slender Wheatgrass, based on
watering for establishment (not permanent irrigation)

For areas where pasture will be restored, not immediately adjacent to ponds:
a pasture mix consisting of meadow brome (eromus biebersteinii, var. regar),
timothy (Phleum pratense, var. climax), orchardgrass (Dactylis glomerata, var.
latar), intermediate Wheatgrass (Elytrigia intermedia, var, greenar) and cicer
milkvetch (Astragalus cicer, var. lutana). These species can be planted without
irrigation but should be dormant seeded in late fait so that they come up in spring
with winter and spring moisture. If irrigation water were available then any time
between April and August would work.

For areas around ponds:
collecting native willow cuttings (Salix exigua) from adjacent sites along the river
and planting them at the interface between water and land. Another species of
native shrub ... is buffaloberry (Shepherdia argentea). ... also recommend
planting hardstem bulrush (Scirpus acutus), Olney threesquare bulrush (Scirpus
americanus), and bluejoint reedgrass (Calamagrostis canadensis) along the pond
margin. The bulrushes can be planted in water to a depth of one foot.
