<br />1. Weed and seed free grass hay or gain straw should he used at <br />an application rate of 4,000 lbs./ac, of air dry ^:aterial. <br />At least 50n of the mu1c~ by weight shall be i0 inci,e:: <br />or more in length. Anchor mulch immediately after <br />distributing with mulch crimper !straight disc). <br />~. Application of feedlot or barnyard manure must be of <br />a type that has 60~ or more, by weight, heavy chunks <br />5 inches or more in dianeter. The minimum rate of <br />application shall be 30 tons per acre immediately before <br />or after seeding. <br />3. Mulch netting. Netting must be firmly held in place <br />with. pins spaced not more than 10 linear feet apart. <br />In sandy or extremely loose soil locate pins closer. <br />4. Asphalt <br />5. Jute Netting <br />6. Erce~lsior mat <br />7. Wood Chips <br />5. Defer seeded area from all use by livestock for at least a two <br />year period or cmtil grass is established. This may require fencing <br />of the critical area. <br />Seedbed Preperation for Very Steep S]opes <br />1. Cut ridges, diversions or channels across slope to catch <br />excessive writer on slope and divert it off of disturbed area. <br />Spacing of i;hese will depend on degree of slope and in- <br />tensity of rain. The steeper the slope, the greater the in- <br />tensity of rains the closer the ridges, diversions or channels. <br />Broadcast seed and drag, spike tooth harrou, chain Logs, any- <br />thing that will scarify soil and cover seed with some soil. <br />2. Run bulldoz~:r with tracks up and down slope. The track will <br />leave depre:~sions perpendicular to the slope. These de- <br />pressions wall catch the seed that is broadcast, hold any <br />precipitation on the slope and help control the movement of <br />soil off the distuubed area. Broadcast seed before equip- <br />ment goes over area for this final operation. The movement <br />of the equipment will tend to cover seed with soil. <br />3. Leave area ~.rithout the final smoothing operation. Leave the <br />surface rough with ridges and depressions. This will slow <br />the runoff Sown to allow it to percolate into soil and reduce <br />erosion. Broadcast seed and drag, spike tooth harrow, chain <br />logs, anything that will scarify soil and cover seed with some <br />soil. <br />If site is to extreme for these practices broadcast seed over <br />area and cover with mulch or nit will be needed. Composted wood chips <br />mulch is very well suited for mountain sites, since a supply o£ <br />chips is readily available i.n these areas. These will help re- <br />duce erosion ar.~d loss of soil moisture through evaporation. <br />
