Name -Antelope Hill Gravel Pit <br />Location, Legal -Part of NW's NE 4, Sect. 30, T14S, R94W, 6th P.M. <br />Si::e - 15.75 acres of a 40 acre tract. <br />Arc:a lies -Approximately 2 miles North of Austin, Colo. <br />Previous Use - Rangeland and a gravel pit. <br />Previous Plants - Galleta, Cactii, Shadscale and Ha loge ten. <br />Soils -Predominantly 51-E, Utaline stony loam, 3 to 20% slope. 0-4': of stony <br />loam over very cobbly loam. <br />gravel greater then 1'~" - 30 to 40 %. <br />Gravel depth - 18 to 26 ft. <br />Soil Under Gravel - Shale <br />Water table -None <br />Flood plain -None <br />Re~vegetation: On the designated 15.75 acres. <br />To re-vegetate the site after mining is completed the base should <br />be returned to as near level as is practical or not to exceed 3:1 <br />slope. Top soil should be spread at least 6 inches deep and <br />smoothed over the area. <br />The site will not be irrigated so dryland species of grasses should <br />be used for site re-seeding. <br />The following mixture is recommended per acre. <br />30% Yellow Sweet clover X 3.5 = 1.0 lb. PLS <br />50% Western Wheatgrass X 8.0 = 4.0 lbs. PLS <br />20% Crested Wheatgrass X 5.0 = 1.0 lb. PLS <br />Total 6.0 lbs. PLS <br />PLS =Pure Live Seed. <br />A late fall seeding date is usually better for native species so the <br />seed lays dormant over winter and has early spring moisture for <br />germination and establishment. <br />If you have any questions concerning this report, please contact us. <br />Sincerely, <br />~~~ Z~L~~ <br />Pall Willis, Pice-President <br />Delta Soil Conservation District <br />cc: L.
