irrigation. The Soil Conservation Service agrees that <br /> irrigation is not feasible and has recommended a mixture <br /> of seed grasses with that fact in mind. The Service also <br /> indicates that it would be extremely difficult to work <br /> fertilizer into the soil on the sloped portion of the cliff <br /> during reclamation, but( where feasible fertilizer will be <br /> added to the seed bed after planting, as represented in the <br /> plan of Land Design Partnership in connection with the origi- <br /> nal permit application. Because of the naturally unstable <br /> soil in the area, mulching the cliff slopes will also be <br /> very difficult to do and may be of very limited effective- <br /> hess. --N-ever.thel"ess, mulching will also be attempted in all <br /> feasible areas as set out in Land Design' s plan. <br /> The recommendation of the Soil Conservation Service for <br /> revegetation of this area was the following mixture of <br /> grasses: <br /> Nordan Crested Wheatgrass / 75, ="6 4 lbs. p. l. s./acre <br /> Luna Pubescent Wheatgrass 7 . 2 lbs. p. l. s./acre <br /> yyQ oc'�o Indian RiCegLass, e'; .:;'� 5 lbs. p. l. s./acre V. c <br /> ,FO6 '/0 BartonQTPa}Prn Wheatgrass 6. 4 lbs . p. l. s./acre <br /> �o �,. 0 Sodar Streambank Wheatgrass /P'D,04'l 4 . 4 lbs . p. l. s ./acre <br /> The revegetation plan recommended by the Land Design <br /> Partnership and approved by the Board and by Eagle County in <br /> connection with the original permit was : <br /> BartoQ Streambank Wheatgrass 6. 4 lbs ./acre <br /> Indian Riceg=ass 6. 0 lbs./acre <br /> Luna Pubescent Wheatgrsss 7 . 2 lbs./acre <br /> Nordan Crested Wheatgrass 6. 0 lbs./acre-- <br /> Sodar Streambank Wheatgrass 4 . 4 lbs./acre <br /> These proposals are substantially similar, and the operator <br /> may experiment with both to see whether one or the other is <br /> more successful. <br /> Seeding will generally be done by hand by the broadcast <br /> method, in the spring or fall of the year, and in accordance <br /> with guidelines of the Soil Conservation Service. No diffi- <br /> culty is anticipated in obtaining the desired seed varieties; <br /> Indian Ricegrass is somewhat more difficult to get than the <br /> others but, with sufficient lead time, should be available. <br /> -2 <br />
