B. Walker, CDMG <br />MR-59 <br />September 10, 2002 <br />Skunkbush Sumac will be substituted by increasing Fourwing Saltbrush @ 2.0 seeds/sq. ft. <br />Squaw Apple will be substituted by increasing Mt. Big Sagebrush @ 2.5 seeds/sq. ft. <br />The substitution with Fourwing Saltbrush and Mt. Big Sagebrush only involve increasing the rate <br />of the 2 species already approved and in the list. Seeding rates will ensure an average of 13.3 <br />seeds/sq. ft. is achieved. <br />Additionally, Colowyo proposes to use hay mulch at 2 tons/acre on 10.5 acres of the 21 acre test <br />plot. <br />Minor Revision 58 revised Colowyo's Reclamation Seed Mixture in Table 2.05-7, added a list of <br />Contingency Substitutions for Table 2.05-7, and n:vised the Shrub Mix for Shrub-only Areas in <br />Table 2.05-9. <br />Colowyo is proposing a change to Table 2.05-8 List of Contingency Substitutions for Table 2.05- <br />7 specific to the subshrub, shrub and tree species. We propose to eliminate Peraohvllum <br />ramossisimum from the table, We also propose to add Svmahoricaroos rotundifolus to the <br />substitution list For Table 2.05-8 we have a general proposal of adding language that would <br />allow us to incxease the seeding rate for an approved plant species instead of choosing a <br />substitute from Table 2.05-8. <br />Colowyo is also proposing a change to Table 2.05-9 Shrub Mix to be Planted in Shrub-only <br />Areas by removing Pereohyllum ramosissium from the mix. This species, although an adapted <br />native, is at present difficult to impossible to obtain <br />Colowyo believes that the proposed changes are minor and will provide for additional flexability <br />with the approved reclamation seed mixtures. The proposed changes an; best demonstrated by <br />viewing the attached pages. The gray highlights indicate the location in the seed mixtures where <br />the changes are proposed. Additionally, Colowyo proposes to update the current seed mix <br />located in Volume 1, on pages 2.05-44 through 2.05-48 with the enclosed pages 2.05-44 <br />through 2.05-46. Pages 2.05-47 and 2.05-48 are left intentionally blank. This update is <br />administrative in nature and provides for easier viewing of the mixtures. <br />We appreciate your consideration of Minor Revision 59 and look forvvard to your response. <br />Sincerely, <br />tGmberleyA.
