The primary use of the gently and moderately sloping bench areas is <br />• livestock grazing. Plant materials chosen for the area included a diverse stand <br />of grasses that are moderately to highly palatable to grazing. Shrub clumps <br />were re-established to promote vegetation and wildlife diversity. Table <br />2.05.4-2 itemizes plant materials used to establish cover in these areas. Seeds <br />were drilled to a depth of 1/4 to 1/2 inch with a standard rangeland drill, <br />calibrated to deliver approximately 53 seeds per square foot. Seed bed prepara- <br />tion included harrowing the regraded overburden prior to topsoil placement. <br />Where topsoil developed a surface crust, the surface was disced and then packed <br />to form a firm seed bed. <br />• <br />• <br />- 324 - (Rev. 5/86) <br />
