C:\jhb\TEAM\Southfield\2003 seed tags.doc 2 <br />Based upon the seed mix submitted to the Division, the operator appears to not have followed the <br />approved seed mix in the 2003 seeding. <br />The Division has discouraged the inclusion of Crested wheatgrass and/or Intermediate wheatgrass in <br />rangeland reclamation seed mixes for a number of years. The Table 33 seed mix was last revised in <br />Mazch 2003 with no inclusion of either Crested wheatgrass or Intermediate wheatgrass. These two <br />species account for less than 20% of the overall seeded mix. Potentially, the other approved seeded <br />species could become well established and the two unauthorized wheatgrass species might not dominate <br />the reclaimed community. If these two species do dominate the community, mitigation may require <br />killing the established vegetation and re-seeding with the correct approved seedmix. Interseeding with the <br />two rnissed species, Indian ricegrass and Beardless bluebunch wheatgrass, in Fa112004 would assure that <br />all the approved species in the Table 33 seed mix are planted at the site. <br />
