Due to the relatively small size of this disturbed site
nearby native grasses, forbs and shrubs should invade and
diversify the site within a few years after pit closure.
The most critical and important treatment to achieve the
establishment of an adequate stand of planted species on this
site is proper and timely weed control. Invasion and
establishment of weeds must be controlled. Moisture must be
reserved for the new planting, in order for it to become
established. Weed control should be performed early during the
first growing season to adequately control weeds. More than one
treatment may be needed. Herbicide labeling should be followed.
Noxious weeds must be controlled.
The site should be deferred from grazing a minimum of at
least two full growing seasons to allow the planted vegetation
to become adequately established on the reclaimed site.
