i r <br />].. Grass hay or cereal grain straw should be used at <br />an apol.ication rate of 4,000 lbs./ac. of air dry msterial. <br />At least 50~ of the mulch by weight :hall be 10 inches <br />or more in longth. Anchor mulch ir.~raadintely nftrr <br />distributing with mulch crimper or disc plow. <br />.. Application of feedlot or bax~yard manure must be of <br />a type that has 60$ or more, by weight, heavy chunks <br />5 inches or more in diameter. The minimum rate of <br />application shall be 20 tons per acre immediately before <br />or after seeding. <br />3. Dtulch netting. Netting must be firmly held in place <br />with pins spaced not more than 10 linear feet apart. <br />In sandy or extremely loose soil locate pins closer. <br />4. Asphalt <br />5. Jute Netting <br />6. Excelsior mat <br />7. Wood Chips <br />5. Defer seeded area from all use by livestock for at least a two <br />year period or until grass is established. This may require fencing <br />of ttie critical area. <br />Seedbed Preperation for Very Steep S]opes <br />1. Cut ridges, diversions or channels across slope to catch <br />excessive water on slope and divert it off of disturbed area. <br />Spacing of these will depend on degree of slope and in- <br />tensity of rain. The steeper the slope, the greater the in- <br />tensity of rains the closer the ridges, diversions or channels. <br />Broadcast seed and drag, spike tooth harrow, chain logs, any- <br />thing that will scarify sail and cover seed with some soil. <br />2. Rein bulld~~ze7• with tracks up and down slope. The track will <br />leave depressions perpendicular to the slope. These de- <br />pressions will catch the seed that is broadcast, hold any <br />arecipitation on Lhe slope and help control the movement of <br />soil off the distuubed area. Broadcast seed before equip- <br />ment goes over area for this final operation. The movement <br />of the equipment will tend to cover seed with soil. <br />3. Leave area without the final smoothing operation. heave the <br />surface rough with ridges and depressions. This will slow <br />the runof_* dorm to allots a to nercolote into soil and reduce <br />erasion. 17rnadc.~a+: .^,eec1 and drag, :nuke c~.n!.h harrow, chain <br />ogs, anything that will scarify soil and ~•ovcr seed with sori~: <br />a~,i 1 . <br />If site is to extreme for these practices broadcast seed over <br />area and cover with mulch or nit will be needed. Wood chip <br />mulch is vei^f well suited for mountain sites, since a supp'_y of <br />chips is readily available in these areas. These will help re- <br />duce erosion and loss of soil moisture through evaporati:,n. <br />
