After reviewing the <br />past permit, the landowner was satisified with the 60 shrubs per acre <br />which were proffered (Attachment 3). It is the belief of Perma and EMS <br />that the 1000 stems per acre clumped over 1/3 of the acres occurring as <br />rangeland after reclamation can be achieved by a variety of methods, <br />including: <br />o Planting (Table 19c), <br />o Replacement of topsoil, <br />0 Seeding bulk seed (Table 19a),and <br />o Pioneering from adjacent stands of woody species. <br />~ ~ The stocking rate listed first is consistent with the landowner's <br />request. The second listing would allow for subsequent plantings should <br />the initial number of 60 prove inadequate when coupled with all of the <br />other woody plant establishment measures to achieve the 1000 stems/acre <br />over 1/3 of the acres. <br /> <br />• <br />38-30 <br />
