6 <br /> GILLESPIE HILL AND THE DRIP IRRIGATION SYSTEM <br /> During the past years, Gillespie Hill has been nothing but a waste dump <br /> area. Until 1978 no reclamation had been done to the area. In 1978 approximately <br /> 500 Pinon Pine and 500 Juniper were planted during tli�''' The seedlings <br /> cover an area of about 4 acres and were planted in a sterile and rocky plant <br /> growth media. The Pinon seedlings were 1 year stock and the Juniper 3 year stock. <br /> The Pinon trees were of poor quality and were not expected to survive. With the <br /> aid of the drip irrigation system that was installed in 1978 and put into operation <br /> during the summer of 1979, the seedlings are making a comeback. The system covers <br /> an area of approximately .5 acres and supports 187 seedlings. <br /> 4.
