3.16 <br />Shrubs to be planted will include Utah Serviceberry (Arne/anchierutahensis), Big <br />Sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata), Fourwing Saltbush (Atrip/ex canescens), Shadscale Saltbush <br />(Abip/ex confer6folia), Winterfat (Ce2toides /antana), True Mountain Mahogany (Cerocarpus <br />montanus), Rubber Rabbitbrush (Chrysothamnus nauseosus), Gambel's Oak (Quercusgambe/ih, <br />Prostrate Summer Cypress (lfochia prosbata), and Skunkbush (Rhus tnlobata). <br />These shrubs will also be direct seeded and will be contained in the seed mixture. <br />Separate seed mixtures may be required to meet the specific planting requirements for the <br />various species. <br />Disturbances in the Shadscale and greasewood shrubland include the road, office complex <br />and the sediment pond area. The planting density will be about 70 seeds per square foot for <br />drill seeding and about 100 seeds per square foot for broadcast seeding. <br />• In consultation with the agencies involved in the revegetation at the McClave Canyon <br />Mine, Grand Valley proposes to eliminate Greasewood from its revegetation seed mix. The <br />elimination of greasewood will enhance the value of the land for its post mining use, rangeland <br />and wildlife habitat. The return of the current dense shrub cover may in fact be detrimental. <br />3.4.8 Protection of Newly Seeded and Planted Areas <br />To protect planted areas from damage by domestic livestock a three wire barbed wire <br />fence will be constructed across the mouth of the canyon and extend to East Salt Creek. The <br />fence will consist of 330 feet new fence along with rehabilitation of the existing fences to the <br />North and South. This fence will remain in place for three years or until the vegetation can <br />• support grazing and/or browsing. <br />IVIo Volume 1 4.29-96 <br />
