The topography is very hilly. The Mayor Land Resource Area <br />is G67, Central High Plains. This area is exposed to high intensity rain <br />storms with hot, dry rinds betxeen'theae storms. When mining of the gravel <br />pit is terminated the folloving procedure may be followed to restore the <br />area to its native rangeland condi~on.~Side elopes should be graded down <br />i <br />to a minimum of a~1 slope Siz inbhea of topsoil or soil material capable <br />of supporting vegetation should-lie spread ev>nly over the elope to provide <br />a good seedbed. Twenty tone per acre of man should be spread over the <br />area to provide the nitrogen and phospho~xu~ru q iremente and protect the <br />soil from erosion. This can be done immediately before or after seeding. <br />See CO - CONS - 6 for seeding rates. The grass seed should be planted one <br />quarter to three quarters of an inch deep. The eeeding may be done ar~ptime <br />from November 1 through May j1. The area of eeeding should be protected <br />from grazing until well established (usually two growing seasons). <br />Enclosures: aerial photo <br />soil map <br />soil description <br />supporting data for grass seeding <br />range condition inventory <br />0 <br /> <br />
