eh <br />ESPEY, HUSTON &ASSOCIATES, INC. <br />• specified for the steep slopes because in these azeas an immediate cover is desirable <br />to discourage erosion. Such cover should also enhance the establishment of <br />vegetation from the broadcast seed. The erosion control blanket will be well- <br />anchored with staples designed for this use. <br />In the facilities and sediment pond azeas, where slopes aze gentler than <br />2.Sh:lv, the prepared surface will be covered with clean straw at the rate of 3,000 <br />lbs/acre which will be crimped into the surface. Following this mulching, the seed <br />mix specified below will be drilled on the contour at the rate of 23.5 lbs (P.L.S.) per <br />acre or broadcast at twice the drill rate. In the sediment pond azea, only the azea <br />above permanent water line will be seeded. <br />Along the haul road, the seed mix specified below for the haul road will <br />be drilled at the rate of 23.5 lbs (P.L.S.) per acre, using a drill of the same <br />specifications detailed immediately above. Mulch will be as in azeas discussed <br />above. The haul road from the State Highway south to the facilities azea will be <br />• reclaimed to the sagebrush vegetation type. <br />In the interception ditch, 5 lbs (P. L.S.) per acre of Reed Canary grass <br />(Phalazis azundinacea) has been sown by broadcast. This special seeding has been <br />done to stabilize the drainage channel. Rip rap has been placed in steep portions of <br />the ditch to reduce erosion. <br /> <br />M-6 <br />~r <br />
