Box 1930 <br />Palisade, CO 81526 <br />Permit No. C-81-091 <br />(b) Area Disturbed - No new disturbance was done. <br />(c) Area Hackfilled and Graded - None <br />(D) Area Topsoiled - None <br />(E) Area Seeded - Approximately 2 acres at the North Decline was <br />reseeded with the permanent seed mix. Establishment of <br />grasses and forbs from the seeding done in 1992 has not been <br />very successful. Shrubs and cheatgrass are the dominant <br />species in the area. The area seeded was partially <br />redisturbed for drainage control repair and the remainder was <br />an area with heavy cheatgrass growth. The area was ripped to <br />a depth of 18" on 2' centers and broadcast seeded on the ruff <br />surface. This practice was tried on a small area as a <br />possible means of establishing desired grasses and forbs among <br />the cheatgrass. Temporary seeding was done within disturbed <br />areas as necessary. <br />Page 1 <br />
