Dept. of Mz~u~al ~~._ -. <br />RECLAMATION PLAN <br />TREE AND SHRUB PLANTING <br />The plan for tree and shrub planting as part of reclamation in <br />the mined area involves three (3) basic aspects. These are the <br />shelter belt, the picnic area, and the lake. <br />a. The Shelter Belt: <br />This consists of a three (3) row buffer/windbreak about <br />1000 feet long around the westerly portion of the re- <br />claimed area as shown on the Sketch Plan for Tree and <br />Shrub Planting. The three (3) rows in this belt are <br />spaced 16 feet apart to minimize competition of the <br />plants for moisture and nutrients, and to provide suf- <br />ficient room for use of machinery for cultivation. <br />The three (3) rows consist of a Shrub Row, a Deciduous <br />Row and a Conifer Row as shown on the Sketch Plan. <br />(1) Shrub Row: <br />Species in the shrub row will consist of interspersed <br />Caragan.a, Lilac, Plwn, Nanking Cherry, and Rocky Moun- <br />tain Jwliper. Plants will be spaced in the row at a <br />distance of 4 to 6 feet depending upon species. <br />(2) Deciduo+us Row: <br />Species in the deciduous row will consist of inter- <br />spersed Russian Olive, Honeylocust, Ash, and Hackberry. <br />Plants will be spaced in the row at a distance of 10 <br />to 14 f~aet depending upon species. <br />(3) Conifer Row: <br />Species in the conifer row will consist of Colorado <br />Blue Spruce, Ponderosa Pine and Eastern Red Cedar. <br />Plants will be spaced in the row at a distance of 8 <br />to 12 feet depending upon species. <br />
