These soils both have <br />about 11 inches of topsoil over stratified sands and gravels. <br />The land is in capability class VIe and VIw. The range site <br />is Loamy Plains. <br />The existing vegetation is predominately field bindweed, <br />kochia and mustards since the Cields were never revegatated <br />to native grasses when the irrigation water was removed. <br />Reclamation of this site should include shaping all slopes to <br />stable grades of 4:1 or less. The topsoil should be <br />stockpiled when the new area is opened- This material should <br />then be spread evenly over tl~e shaped and graded site at the <br />time of reclamation. A soil test should also be performed at <br />the time of reclamation to determine if plant nutrients in <br />the topsoil are adequate. The attached "Grass Seeding Plan", <br />form CO-ECS-S, contains seeding mixture and mulch <br />recommendations as well as other pertainent information. <br />7~v'l'z'--~ <br />Robert Appel, <br />District Conservationist <br />
