<br />Area 1B - 100 Douglas Fir seedlings were planted <br />on this North facing slope during late April, 1882. <br />Area 2 - This area was not scheduled for reclama- <br />tion. However, in order to cut down visual impact <br />of the high wall, the area was planted in May of <br />1982. It constitutes ±3 acres. The seed mix is <br />as follows: <br />Common Name <br />Western Wheatgrass, Barton <br />Slender Wheatgrass <br />Streambank Wheatgrass, Sodar <br />Crested Wheatgrass, Fairway <br />Russian Wildrye <br />Sherman Big Bluegrass <br />Ruebens Canada Bluegrass <br />Green Needlegrass <br />Needle and Thread <br />Blue Gramma <br />Side Oats Gramma <br />Blue Flax <br />Lbs/Acre <br />Pure Live Seed <br />6 <br />3 <br />2 <br />2 <br />2 <br />2 <br />2 <br />1 <br />.5 <br />2 <br />2 <br />.5 <br />Item 5 - "Type and approximate quantity of fertilizers, organic <br />materials or soil conditioners used and location of <br />use." <br />Small nutrient pellets were placed in the tree roots <br />during planting. Other than this, no other materials <br />were utilized. Additional fertilization for the en- <br />tire area is scheduled for later this year. <br />Item 6 - "Appraisal of the success of the reclamation efforts <br />to date." <br />Cooley Gravel Company is very pleased with the success <br />of this project to date. Given the harsh nature of a <br />quarry site such as this, we feel that the program <br />is a model project for other similar operations in <br />the State. The plantings are thriving and the survi- <br />val rate is about what was expected. The drip irriga- <br />tion system functions very well and has a secondary <br />benefit of water conservation. <br />Item 7 - "Estimates of the location and number of acres to be <br />affected in the coming year." <br />Mining will continue in the existing quarry area. A <br />pioneer road and some stripping will occur over a <br />±5 acre area to the South on the newly permitted <br />property. <br />Item 8 - The effective date of this report is June 6, 1982. <br />-2- <br />
