Rate in Ibs/acre. <br />PLS, Broadcast PLS, Drilled <br />Slender Wheatgrass, Pryor 8.25 4.13 <br />Sanfoin, Remont 12.50 6.25 <br />TOTAL 20.75 10.38 <br />Seeding will be done immediately after application of erosion control polymers, usually within <br />seven days of completion of a stockpile or length of stockpile, and followed by watering to <br />establish the stand of grass. <br />This mix is based upon recommendations by USDA-NRCS (Robert Fuller, Letter of 17 AUG 2000 <br />and Fax of 30 AUG 2000): <br />For temporary seeding for stabilization and protection of stockpiles: Either use the <br />orchardgrass and meadow brome if you are going to irrigate the spoil pile. If not, a <br />drought tolerant, easily established mix such as perennial rye (Lolium perenne) with <br />strawberry clover (Trifolium fragiferum, var. Palestine) would be adequate. All seedings <br />should be mulched with approximately 4000 lbs. of weed-free straw crimped into the <br />seedbed with tracked equipment. An alternative is a temporary mix consisting of Sanfoin <br />and slender wheatgrass, based on watering for establishment (not permanent irrigation) <br />For areas where pasture will be restored, not immediately adjacent to ponds <br />Species, Variety Rate in Ibs/acre. Rate in Ibs/acre, <br /> PLS. Broadcast PLS. Drilled <br />Meadow Brome, Regar 5.5 2.75 <br />Intermediate Wheatgrass, Onhe 5.0 2.5 <br />Orchardgrass, Latar 0.8 0.4 <br />Timothy grass, Climax 0.3 0.15 <br />Cicer milkvetch, Monarch 2.4 1.2 <br />TOTAL <br />7 <br />Seeding will be done in late fall, unless irrigation equipment is available, in which case it will be <br />done after mining is completed before the year and before August each year. <br />This mix is based upon recommendations by USDA-NRCS (Robert Fuller, Letter of 17 AUG 2000 <br />and Fax of 30 AUG 2000): <br />For areas where pasture will be restored, not immediately adjacent to ponds: a pasture <br />mix consisting of meadow brome (Bromus biebersteinii, var. regar), timothy (Phleum <br />pratense, var. climax), orchardgrass (Dactylis glomerata, var. latar), intermediate <br />wheatgrass (Elytrigia intermedia, var. greenar) and Cicer milkvetch (Astragalus Cicer, var. <br />lutana). These species can be planted without irrigation but should be dormant seeded in <br />late fall so that they come up in spring with winter and spring moisture. If irrigation water <br />were available then any time between April and August would work. <br />5. Seed mixes for landscaping as required by the County after reclamation: <br />Mr. Fuller recommended the following, without going into detail regarding quantities. Unless <br />otherwise specified, plants would be seeded, not transplants. <br />Four States Aggregates, LLC 15 MAR 2001 <br />Application for Permit: Line Camp Pit M-2001-001 FSA-LCP-D2-001 <br />
