.. .. r r <br />GRAZING PLAN <br />CHZMNEY ROCR MINE <br />This section represents a conceptual grazing plan for the Chimney Rock Mine. <br />Grazing should not be permitted until herbaceous cover and production are <br />adequate to control erosion. In order to prepare the area for grazing the <br />following ideas are presented: <br />1. Carry out the proposed rill and gully plan. <br />2. Seed the areas disturbed by the construction of cross <br />channels and rock drains. <br />3. Interseed the entire reclaimed area with shrubs and fortis to <br />increase cover and production as well as species diversity. <br />Possible shrub species are Four wing saltbush, Antelope <br />bitterbrush and Winterfat. Possible forb species are Yarrox <br />and Louisiana sage. <br />4. No visible signs of erosion should remain or be present prior <br />to grazing. <br />5. To determine xhen the area could be grazed permanent <br />herbaceous cover transacts and exclosure cages should be <br />established on the reclaimed area. The results of the data <br />can be compared xith that from the reference area or Soil <br />Conservation Sere ice data. <br />6. Grazing will be consistent xith appropriate SCS guidelines <br />including number of animals per acre, percent cover <br />required for slope stability, etc. <br />7. Grazing will be the year after attainment of acceptable <br />cover, species diversity and slope stability. <br />
