~ L2.5 Augmented Seedlrrg and/or Cultural Practlccs <br />In addition to 1991 replaced topsoil revegetation practices, Trapper also conducts several aug- <br />mented seeding and/or cultural practices. These practices are addressed below. <br />Mature Shrub TransQlant ClumRs <br />Trapper constructed no mature shrub clumps in 1991. However, Trapper has had enormous sur- <br />vival success with Ote 13 clumps established to date (20.8 acres). Trapper proposes to construct <br />two additional clumps in 1992 <br />Seedling Shrub Clump <br />Trapper discontinued the seedling shrub clump study initially established in 1990. Trapper is cur- <br />rently anatyang the economics of this integrated practice on our range ecosystem to determine if <br />this practice should be continued. <br />Drainages Reconstruction <br />The acreages, location and methods are fully described in Section 3.0 of this annual report <br />Diversion Ditch Reclamation <br />During 1991, Trapper removed approxiroatety 0.25 acres of diversion ditches. Ditches were <br />removed [rom our runoff control system since vegetation suooess and the remainirtg diversion <br />system is adequatety handling runoff events. After ditches are closed, they are seeded to the <br />• appropriate range site mnc based on elevation. The areas reclaimed are documented on our <br />annual fall aerial photos. <br />Livestock Tanks <br />Trapper built thirteen livestock tanks in 1991. See Section 6 and Maps 6.1. Stock tanks were <br />seeded ruing the approved dam andlor spillway seed mixes on approximatety 7.8 acres. <br />Developmental Drill Sites <br />During 1991, Trapper broadcast seeded approximatety 26 acres of developmental drill sites using <br />the approved seed mut The specifics and loptioas are presented in L. Johtts's 1991 Develop- <br />mental Drilling summary submitted for your approval on January 20, 1992 <br />Topsoil Piles <br />See Section 5 and maps 5.1. Topsoil stockpiles were smoothed and seeded to tite approved 1991 <br />perennial topsoil pile mix Approttirtratety 23 acres were treated. <br />Sediment Dams <br />{n 1991, Trapper cleaned East Bunard sediment dam #1, reconstructed Johnson dam #9 <br />drainage, conswcted West Pyeatt sediment dam #2, and inter-seeded sediment dams in both Ute <br />and Elk Gulch as previous seeding response was fatr-poor. All dams were broadcast seeded with <br />the approved dam seed mix. <br />_• <br /> <br />
