C~ <br /> <br />RULE 2.41(4): THE SPECIES OF VEGETATION PLANTED, THE LOCATIONS AND <br />APPROXIMATE DATES OF PLANTING. <br />Seeding was performed on February 19, 1986. The seed was applied <br />with a cyclone seeder. Although the weather, according to memory and <br />notes, was extremely windy, there was little difficulty encountered in <br />the seeding process. Seeding, as noted previously, was performed on <br />approximately 3 acres near the operation entrance. <br />Seed applied to the site included: <br />SPECIES RATE (lbs. PLS/acre) Germ. Source <br /> <br />BLUE GRAMA 1.00 759, TX <br />FAIRWAY CRESTED WHEATGRASS 2.00 90% SD <br />INTERMEDIATE WHEATGRASS 2.00 90% SD <br />PUBESCENT WHEATGRASS 2.00 97% SD <br />WESTERN WHEATGRASS 1.00 907, SD <br />SMOOTH BROME 2_00 91% MO <br /> 10.00 <br />Although the seeding rate appears to be rather low, the purpose of <br />the seeding was to provide additional cover and additional diversity to <br />the existing vegetation. These rates equaled approximately 48 live <br />seeds per square foot. This rate is more than adequate for supplemental <br />seeding and should provide sufficient additional material to allow the <br />vegetation to develop to its maximum sustainable density. <br />The slope above the ditch was seeded in February 1986. A prolonged <br />dry period following the seeding produced a fear that the seeding would <br />be a failure. Fortunately, the east facing slope was cool and moist <br />enough that the seeding was successful, even though seeding with the <br />same mixture on a south facing slope on the other side of Academy <br />Boulevard was a failure. <br />Seed applied to this site included: <br />SPECIES <br />STANDARD CRESTED WHEATGRASS <br />INTERMEDIATE WHEATGRASS <br />RUSSIAN WILDRYE <br />SMOOTH BROME <br />PUBESCENT WHEATGRASS <br />YELLOW SWEETCLOVER <br />RATE (lbs.
