• <br />• <br />2.05.4(2)(e) <br />Seed Mixes 6 and 7 will be utilized to vegetate the areas disturbed at the unit train <br />loadout. The pasture mix will also be used to seed the Derelict/R-O-W disturbed <br />areas. Trees will be planted in disturbed orchard areas. <br />Seed Mix 6 -Irrigated Hayland <br />Species <br />Orchard grass <br />Smooth Brome <br />Timothy <br />Kentucky bluegrass <br />Alfalfa <br />Seed Mix 7 -Pasture <br />Orchardgrass <br />Meadow fescue <br />Thickspike wheat grass <br />Slender wheatgrass <br />Kentucky Bluegrass <br />Red Clover <br />Alfalfa <br />Baseline Composition PLS/Acre <br />41.5 4.0 <br />1.5 1.0 <br />3.7 0.5 <br />3.2 0.5 <br />33.8 8.0 <br />Baseline Composition PLS/Acre <br />38.7 3.0 <br />14.6 3.0 <br />3.1 1.5 <br />1.6 1.5 <br />2.2 0.25 <br />6.9 1.0 <br />13.3 2.0 <br />Seed mixes 6 and 7 reflect the baseline composition of the Irrigated Hayland and <br />Pasture, respectively. Because these new mixes are based extensively on pre- <br />disturbance composition, the requirements of Rule 4.15.2(3) have been met <br />empirically. <br />Planting and Beetling <br />u <br />(iv) <br />PR-O6 <br />/') PPRo ~ <br />~~I S/Oi <br />Planting will be accomplished with the use of a rangeland drill pulled behind a <br />rubber-tired tractor or other suitable equipment. Broadcast seeding will be <br />used for areas where drill seeding is not practicable. <br />Mulching Techniques <br />A straw mulch will be used to provide surface protection and store moisture <br />during the first growing season. The application rate will be about 4,000 <br />pounds per acre. Only clean grain straw that is free of noxious or problem <br />weeds will be used. The straw will be anchored by mechanical crimping, <br />polypropylene erosion control netting or with one of the various tackifying <br />agents available on the market. <br />2.05 - 53 - <br />10/01 <br />
