• 15.5 Augmented Sceding andlor Cultural PreMiccs <br />In addition to 1992 replaced topsoil revegetation practices, Trapper al:o conducts several aug- <br />mented seeding and/or cultural practices. These practices are addressed below. <br />Mature Shrub Transplant Clump <br />Trapper constructed two shrub clumps in Derringer Pit reclamation arc:a during 1992, one just <br />above the 7,200-ft elevation and the second at the 6,700-h elevation. Trapper has constructed 16 <br />of tltese clumps to date (27.0 acres) for wildlife habitat improvement purposes. No mature shrub <br />clumps are proposed for 1993. <br />Seedline Shrub Clump <br />Trapper discontinued the seedling shrub clump study initially established in 1990. Trapper is cur- <br />rently analyzing the economics of this integrated practice on our range ecosystem to determine if <br />this practice should be continued. <br />Drainages Reconswction <br />The acreages, location and methods are fully described in Section 3.0 of this annual report. <br />Diversion Ditch Reclamation <br />• During 1992, Trapper removed approximatety 3.4 acres of diversion ditches. Ditches were <br />removed from our runoff control system since vegetation success and the remaining diversion <br />system is adequately handling runoff events. After ditches are closed, they are seeded to the <br />appropriate range site mix based on elevation. The areas reclaimed acre documented on our <br />annual fall aerial photos. <br />Livestock Tanks <br />Trapper died not construct any livestock tanks during the 1992 field season. See Section 6 and <br />Maps 6.1. <br />Developmental Drill Sites <br />During 1992, Trapper broadcast seeded approximatety 40 acres of developmental drill sites using <br />the approved seed mie. The specifics and locations are presented in L Johns's 1992 Develop- <br />mental Drilling summary submitted for your approval on March 12,1993. <br />Topsoil Piles <br />See Section 5 and maps 5.1. Topsoil stockpiles were smoothed and seeded to the approved 1992 <br />perennial topsoil pile mix Approximately 52.1 acres were treated. <br />Sediment Dams <br />During 1992, sediment ponds Far East Buzzard #1, Deer Gulch #1 and West Pyeatt #2 were <br />constructed; also the siphon tube was removed from Johnson dam #10 attd the principal spillway <br />• was moved to the east side of the newly reconstructed dam. Elk Gulch dam was cleaned and the <br />inlet sediment basin reclaimed. All dams were broadcast-seeded with the approved dam seed mhc. <br />
