<br />The Revision 1 Area was seeded using the approved mix as <br />follows: <br />Western Wheatgrass <br />Slender Wheatgrass <br />Canada Bluegrass <br />Indian Ricegrass <br />Sideoats Grama <br />Blue Gama <br />Sand Dropseed <br />Green Needlegrass <br />Fourwing Saltbush <br />Birdsfoot Trefoil <br />Cicer Milkvetch <br />Saskatoon Serviceberry <br />Mountain Mahogany <br />Golden Current <br />Woods Rose <br />Total <br />1 lbs <br />1 lbs <br />0.1 lbs <br />0.5 lbs <br />1 lbs <br />1 lbs <br />0.1 lbs <br />1 lbs <br />1 lbs <br />1 lbs <br />0.5 lbs <br />2 lbs <br />1 lbs <br />1 lbs <br />2 lbs <br />14.20 1 <br />pls <br />pls <br />pls <br />pls <br />pls <br />pls <br />pls <br />pls <br />pls <br />pls <br />pls <br />pls <br />pls <br />pls <br />pls <br />bs p <br />per <br />per <br />per <br />per <br />per <br />per <br />per <br />per <br />per <br />per <br />per <br />per <br />per <br />per <br />per <br />is p <br />acre <br />acre <br />acre <br />acre <br />acre <br />acre <br />acre <br />acre <br />acre <br />acre <br />acre <br />acre <br />acre <br />acre <br />acre <br />=r acre <br />This seeding was accomplished by (1)Hydroseeding (4)Hydromulching <br />(3)Tacking Mulch. Hydroseeding consists of mixing seed, <br />fertilizer and a small amount of wood fiber mulch together <br />and spraying it on the soil. A wood fiber mulch was used <br />on the Revision 1 area because of restraints put on the <br />San Juan National Forest restricting the use of hay or straw <br />that is not 100% weed free. 2000 pounds of wood was used <br />per acre, to insure proper moisture retention All areas <br />not located within the San Juan National Forest boundaries, <br />received a straw mulch at 2000 pounds per acre. <br />The location of all previously planted areas including current <br />areas are listed on the attached map. Approximately 37 acres <br />were topsoiled and seeded this year. <br />The erosion control fabric was replaced in ditch 3F, in <br />the spring. Due to a manufacturing error the fabric tore <br />during a heavy perception event. The factory replaced the <br />fabric, but too late in the season to install. The silt <br />fences in the ditch leading to pond 005 were removed to <br />facilitate topsoil haulage to the Revision 1 area, these <br />will be replaced this spring, at the same time the erosion <br />control fabric is replaced. A precipitation event in the <br />fall of approximately 4 inches over a period of four days, <br />did some minor damage to the contour furrows. These were <br />repaired and reseeded along with the reclamation work in <br />the fall. At the same time, areas on the East side Reclaimed <br />area, and Barrin Ridge were overseeded to help enhance areas <br />where vegetation is sparse. The seeding contractor hydroseeded <br />these areas, no mulch was used. We are still having problems <br />with Gophers causing blowouts in the furrows, at this time <br />we have no solution to the problem. An estimated 90% of <br />the failures in the contour furrows are contributed to Gophers. <br />2 <br />
