At present, the area is <br />grazed all year around. Cover in the pasture is sparse all year as a result of the <br />continuous grazing of cattle. <br />The proposed seeding areas are shown in Exhibit F -Reclamation Plan. The <br />recommended seeding method is by drill and seeding rates assume this method, <br />The species composition of the seed mixture recommended for reclamation is <br />shown in Table 5 below. <br />Table 5. Recommended Seed Mixture <br />Species (Variety) Rate -pure live Native/ W/C Cost <br /> seed (pls) Introduced Seaso pls/ac <br /> /bs/ac n <br />Thickspike wheatgrass 8.0 to 10.0 Native Cool $11.70 <br />(Critana) <br />Sideoats grams (Vaughn) 5.0 to 7.0 Native Warm $7.25 <br />Switchgrass (Nebraska-28) 4.0 to 6.0 Native Warm $5.00 <br />Alfalfa (Nomad) 3.0 to 5.0 Introduced NA $1.90 <br />TOTAL 20.0 to 28.0 $28.85 <br />Based on this seed mixture an application rate of approximately 20.0 to 28.0 <br />pls/ac will be used. Topsoil should be disked prior to seeding. It is <br />recommended that fertilizer be utilized for reclamation. A standard application of <br />a fertilizer will be used and applied at a rate of 250 Ibs/ac as shown in Table 3. <br />Turnpike Mining Resource <br />Regular 112 application <br />
