COLOWYO 2002 ANNUr\L RECI,~1'vIATI0N RL'VOR'r RIiVIGW, C-1981-019 <br />planted varies slightly from the approved PLS/Square foot rate. This variance is small and is likely due to the <br />species substitutions. The pounds of PLS seed applied to the EP043 2002 reclaimed azea exceeded the <br />pounds PLS required in the approved seed mix. This vaziance is acceptable. <br />In 2002 Colowyo re-seeded and area that had originally been seeded in 2001. This area, EP037, is referred to <br />as the "2001 re-do" area and will be counted as areas seeded in 2002. Species substitutions were made to the <br />seed mix for the 2001 re-do azea as well, due to species availability limitations. Substitute species were <br />chosen from Table 2.05-7 or 2.05-8 and were acceptable. Overall seeding rates were approximately twice the <br />approved drill seeding rate. Broadcast seeding rates should be double that of drill seeding. This application <br />rate is appropriate. <br />Future reclamation reports should include legible seed tags, and report on quantity of seed used per area. The <br />approved seed mixes used by Colowyo provides a diverse mix of species appropriate to the area and that <br />supports the post mining land use. <br />
