• growth during the first season. After the first season, and depending on the size of the <br />management unit and availability of additional management units, grazing may be implemented. <br />Harvesting will continue to be considered as a management option if grazing is not implemented <br />in any given year. Harvested hay will be removed from the fields as rapidly as hay quality and <br />weather conditions permit. <br />Revegetation Methods - Dryland Pasture <br />The dryland pasture type will be established in areas which were previously sagebrush rangeland <br />on the 1987 Travessitta-Pinon soils and on 1999 soil map units 986, 98C, and 98H (see Map <br />2.04.9-1 ). <br />Seed Mix #8 has been developed to provide a mix of species that are compatible with the adjacent <br />irrigated pasture type, has a high level of utility, and will provide long term protection of the <br />resource. <br />The above varieties are preferred but do not constitute the only available adapted varieties. Seed <br />• availability problems associated with the above recommended varieties will require that the next <br />best adapted variety ornative/common types be used. The alternate selections will be made from <br />regional sources. <br />Species selection criteria centered on species that are drought tolerant, reasonably productive <br />under semi-arid conditions, able to provide site stabilization, able to withstand grazing pressure, <br />and have utility for livestock and wildlife. The seed variety and mixture is commonly used in this <br />region and was reviewed by the local Soil Conservation Service. <br />All species are introduced, however these are the best available species for the postmine land use <br />and are necessary and desirable to achieve the intended use. <br />• (Revised ii-i4-e~~ Attachment 2.05.4(2)(e)- 11 <br />
