Russian Wildrye Bozoisky 1.0 • *RS Wheatgrass Newhy 0.6 Alfalfa Spreador 2 0_4 5.7 'If RS Wheatgrass is not available, increase Pubescent Wheatgrass by 1.0 pound/acres. "Broadcast rate is double the drilled rate Site Variation Adaptability of Seed Mix 8: Dry Sites: All species. Moist Sites: Agropyron hybrid, Medicago. Cool Season: Agropyron, Elyrnus,. Warm Season: Medicago. Fine Textured Sites: Agropyron hybrid, Elyrnus, Medicago. Coarse Textured Sites: All species except Medicago. Revegetation methods, including seedbed preparation and seeding, are similar to that presented earlier in the revegetation plan discussion for the New Horizon Mine. Exceptions include the possible use of the grass drill specified in the irrigated pasture revegetation discussion in lieu of the rangeland type drill and the use of cover crop for surface stabilization only on steeper slopes. No mulching is planned for these small areas, however, a cover crop will be seeded as a surface stabilization measure. Management and maintenance activities will include any necessary repair of rills or gullies (detailed at the end of this section), reseeding, or grazing management. Grazing management will be centered on the proper use by livestock of the dryland pasture areas in relation to the associated irrigated pasture. These areas will initially be irrigated by water cannon for the first 3 years to insure successful establishment of the dryland pasture. They will not be irrigated after the initial three year period. Dryland pasture will only receive an initial fertilizer application at the time of seeding. Additional Revegetation Measures Shrubs and bushes are not planned to be planted because of the post mining land use. The owners of the reclaimed land (both 1987 and 1999) do not want shrubs or bushes in their fields. • (Revised 1-~s-o3) 2.05.4(2)(e)-11
