Mr. Ken Klco - Page 2 July 28, 1977 • 4. Any one, or a combination of all three, of the methods could be used as planting beds or sites. 5. Regardless of the method, or methods, used; the planting Bites would be bedded witki 12 to 18 inches'of peat or topsoil material, and the transplants would be placed into this "bed" material. The beds should be well watered prior to placing the plants. 6. Planting materials would be selected from nearby native plants, and would be primarily trees and shrubs. The most adapted species would be: Pinyon pine Juniper Mountain mahogany Virgins bower Oceanspray (rock spirea~ Yucca Winterfat 7. Species should be dug with as much soil material as possible. The delicate root systems should also be disturbed as little as possible. Tree transplants should be less than two feet tall to avoid too large a • root system. Transplants should be made almost immedi- ately after they are dug to avoid drying and root damage. 8. Transplanting should be done in the spring or early summer after the plants are showing good growth. You want to allow as much of the growing season as possible for the plants to overcome the "shock" of moving and for them to begin new root growth and development. 9. Beep the transplants well watered for the first few weeks after planting. Try to avoid letting the root systems dry out. Care should also be taken to avoid over watering and saturating the plant beds. II. Steep Slopes with Some Soil Material These areas, too, will be difficult to revegetate or stabilize because of the extreme slopes. I would suggest that you rely on natural "pockets", benches, or other sites rather than constructing them. Much of the same procedures listed for the raw gypsum slopes would also apply on this area. The beds should be well located, and treated with peat or topsoil material. • '-" "r
