<br />z <br />The area will be either drilled or broadcasted. If broadcasting <br />is used, then the above species mixture will be doubled. <br />After seeding is completed, mulching will be applied. A straw <br />mulch will be used on the level areas (up to 4 to 1 slopes) at a rate of <br />3,000 lbs/acre. This will be crimped in to secure it. On the steeper <br />areas (3 to 1 or greater) a woodfiber or silva fiber will be sprayed on <br />at a rate of 3,000 lbs/acre. This will all be done in the late fall <br />to take advantage of winter and early spring moisture. <br />Phase II - Developing Quarry Site <br />The developing quarry sites (area 3 and 4 in Exhibit C) will be <br />• revegetated as mining progresses. Reclamation of the. newly depleted areas <br />will follow the mining phase as closely as practical. <br />The same fertilization, seeding, and mulching sequence discussed <br />above will be used. <br />The depleted lower quarry (Area 2 in Exhibit C) will be reopened <br />in about ten years and be active for about 25 years; therefore, no <br />revegetation will be done there at this time. Its reclamation will be <br />described in the 20-year revision plan. <br />Note: The seed mixtures, fertilizer, seeding time, mulching, and <br />seeding method were recommended specifically for this site <br />by the Department of Range Science, Colorado State University, <br />Fort Collins, Colorado. <br />C~ <br />
