Box 337 <br />Walden, CO 80480 <br />RE: Riley Pit <br />Our File 478-2b6 <br />Dear Mr. Browder: <br />(-~ ~,, <br /> <br />As usual, the permit application you submitted is bery well <br />written and prepared. Ae I've said previously, the Board aad <br />staff appreciate your efforts and care is preparing the Jackson <br />County permit applications. <br />The only staff concern ie with the seed mixture.. If you will <br />refer to my letters of the past on this subject, you will note <br />that the statute requires a diverse seed mixture. Tha Board will <br />not approve a seed mixtuze consisting only of Western Wheatgraea <br />end Annual Ryegraes. <br />The staff recommends subetltutian of the following seed mixture: <br />SFECIBS <br />Western Wheatgraae <br />Green Needlegraea <br />Hard Fescue <br />Russian Wildrye <br />SEEDING BATE IN PLS?ACRE <br />460 pounds `f,D <br />2255pounds ,1$ <br />0.5 pounds ~-S <br />1.5 pounds 1 ~~ <br />The main diffeaence between this mixture aad the one given for <br />the Nofeinger and 1Laoberd Pita is the use of Hard Fescue rather <br />than Steambank Wheatgrase. This higher precipitation rate juati- <br />fiee the use of Hard Fescue. <br />I would appreciate your comments on this mattes, and hope we can <br />continue to have a cordi$1 relationship. <br />If I can be of further help, please give me a call. <br />Sincerely, <br />Rogan S. Funaton <br />Reclamation Specialist <br />
