20 <br /> 1 <br /> then be seeded with a mixture of grasses for stabilization during <br /> ' runoff (Table 4) . <br /> ' POST MINE LAND USE AND SEEDING PLAN <br /> The premine land use of this site is wildlife habitat and <br /> ' domestic livestock grazing. <br /> A specific seed mix has been developed to supply forage for <br /> a postmined land use of wildlife habitat and domestic livestock <br /> ' grazing (Table 4) . This mix incorporates species beneficial to <br /> wildlife (Mule Deer) , domestic livestock (cattle) , and will aid <br /> in controlling erosion . It is anticipated that the revegetated <br /> site will yield vegetation comparable to existing levels of bio- <br /> mass production and will be suitable for the proposed postmine <br /> land use of wildlife/domestic livestock. After the ground has <br /> ' been recontoured a firm friable seedbed will be created into which <br /> the seed will be broadcast by means of a cyclone seeder or other <br /> comparable means . A spike tooth harrow will then be used on the <br /> seedbed to aid in seed coverage. All reseeding activities will <br /> occur during the fall . Water bars will then be replaced on the . <br /> ' road area and on any area reseeded with slopes greater than 3:1 . <br /> Water bars/dips will be so designed that they will drain into <br /> existing native vegetation so as to reduce erosion (Table 1) . <br /> ' FERTILIZATION <br /> Prior to seeding and after grading , samples of the plant <br /> growth media will be analyzed for fertility by the Colorado State <br /> University soil laboratory. Fertilization of the growth media <br />
