7. Weed control: <br />i. Annual and perennial weeds will compete with grass seedlings and may cause poor stands or failures. <br />Mowing is effective if done in a timely manner during the first two or three growing seasons. After the grass is <br />in the third or fourth leaf stage there are several commercially available chemicals that maybe applied at label <br />rates. Contact the Baca County Weed Control District for assistance. <br />8. Other considerations: <br />i. Livestock exclusion will be practiced. This maybe done by planned deferment or fencing until the vegetation <br />is well established. <br />ii. Wildlife nesting, food or cover can be developed in the borrow area. Tall grass, Shrubs and trees maybe <br />planted either in clumps or rows to provide the habitat desired. Wildlife common to the site are antelope, <br />cottontail, jackrabbit, rattlesnake and other wildlife species associated with short grass habitat. <br />The land will be reclaimed to general agriculture with the above mixture of grasses and sloped 4:1 or flatter the <br />bottom of the pit being left a flat surface.
