that Plud Cree}: is not <br />strip should be left <br />during excavation to <br />area is reclaimed the <br />B. REVEGET.ATI011 <br />contaminated t:ith sediment. A buffer <br />along the west boundary of the property <br />control this runoff. Once the excavated <br />buffer strip could then be taken out. <br />1.) Seedbed preparation - .A clean, weed free, firm seedbed <br />should be established before an}' seeding is done. If <br />The seedb=_d is so=t or loose alloy,: 2 wee!;s to 1 month <br />after last operatio:~ for soil to settle ar,d firm up. <br />2.) Planting period - Planting should be done either <br />in tie spring up until April 30th, between P.ugust 15th <br />and September 30th, or from Octob=_r 15 until~sno~: or <br />frozen soil prohibits seeding. <br />3.) h?etligd of Planting - In areas where it is feasible <br />planting should be don=_ i:'itii a grass drill or modified <br />grain-drill. If th=_ us=_ of a grass drill is not <br />feasibl=_ seed should be broadcasted evenl}' over the <br />area usino a mechanical broadcast seeder. Seed should <br />be planted at a depth of 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch. If seed <br />is broadcasted, it should be ra};ed to cover it to the <br />proper depth. <br />4.) Seeding mixture - ~. seeding mixture of cool-season <br />grasses is recommended. See CO-ECS-5, Grass Se=_ding <br />Planned, for recor~:-ended grass species and seeding <br />rates. <br />5.) Fertiliza`_ion - All s=_eded areas should b=_ fertilized <br />to enhance grass establisi~ment. A soil test should be <br />done to determine file proper amount of fertilizer to be <br />applied. <br />6.) tfulching - lfulching should be done on slopes to reduce <br />soil erosion and impro•ae moisture conditions. Clean, <br />t•:eed free grass hay or straw should be spread evenly <br />over tl~e newly planted areas at a rate of 5,000 lbs per <br />acre. At least 50> of the.mulcli b}' weight should be 10 <br />inches or longer. 1!ulcli should be anchored in to tl~e <br />soil by crimping. <br />7.) Post-emergent weed control - Control of competitive <br />weeds is important in the establishment of a grass <br />seeding. I;eed control should be done once tiie grass iias <br />reached t}ie 3 to 5 leaf stage. ito::ing or chemical <br />application are effective means to control weeds <br />follo'.aing grass seedin.gs. Caution_hould b=_ to};en when <br />using herbicides in close proximate to wat=_r. Follow <br />all label recommendations for Handling and application. <br />00025 <br />C.
