Seed tags will be used to <br />supplement the annual reclamation report. <br />** Bracketed species will be included in the mix•as they can be commercially <br />obtained. <br />*** This species is ill-suited to the Chimney Rock Mine because of its poor <br />drought tolerance. However, until the Colorado Mined Land Reclamation <br />Coal Group will approve alfalfa and/or yellow sweetclover, there are <br />no other widely commercially available and suitable legumes for use on <br />these privately-owned rangelands. Further note, that the mining company, <br />the USDA-SCS (Pagosa Springs), and the landowner would like to have <br />yellow sweetclover or alfalfa or both seeded as part of the Chimney Rock <br />Coal, Martinez Strip reclamation. <br />**** Each species group (not all within a bracket) was available on the <br />commercial seed market (as per 3/16/83 conversations with Mr. Tom <br />Vogel, Arkansas Valley Seed Producers, Denver, Colorado.) <br /> <br />38-G2 <br />
