<br />heavy for sand dropseed, as it did poorly. The seed mixture used was as <br />follows: <br />Streambank Wheatgress 3 <br />Pubescent Wheatgrass 2 <br />Slender Wheatgrass 2 <br />Western Wheatgrass 4 <br />Little Bluestein 2 <br />Blue Grama 1 <br />Sideoats Grama 2 <br />Yellow Sweetclover 1 <br />Although there was a heavy seeding cover, the light table tests <br />revealed a low germination rate of a very viable seed. Therefore, even <br />though one pound of Yellow Sweetclover is high for such a diverse mixture, <br />it is not anticipated it will present an inordinately great a:rount of <br />growth. Heavy growth of clover would not be undesirable if it occurrred, <br />but could present some degree of excessive competition if the first two <br />years are unusually wet. <br />RULE 2.41(5): The berm was fertilized with 40 pounds per acre each <br />of nitrogen and phosphorous. Depending on growth the first su,nner, an <br />additional 30 pounds of N per acre may be applied in September. <br />RULE 2.41(6): The grading appears to be successful in producing <br />topography that will avoid excessive erosion and will hold seed and <br />allay the grasses to stabilize the berm. It is still too early to <br />determine if the seeding was successful. <br />RULE 2.41(7): Durirg the next year the operation will probably <br />enter Cycle Step 1 and Cycle Step 2. Topsoil may be ~mved to the back <br />of the quarry benches and several benches seeded. Trees will be planted <br />on the visual berm. <br />MAP: Please refer to last year's map. The changes during the last <br />year have been too small and of insufficient significance to show on a <br />map. <br />(CAS 81/7) <br />
