Seed mixes for topsoil protection and reclamation. For temporary seeding for stabilization and protection of stockpiles: ~ 7 Species, Variety Rate in Ibs/acre, Rate in Ibs/acre, PLS, Broadcast PLS, Drilled Slender Wheatgrass, Pryor 8.25 4.13 Sanfoin, Remont 12.50 6.25 TOTAL 20.75 10.38 Seeding will be done immediately after application of erosion control polymers, usually within seven days of completion of a stockpile or length of stockpile, and followed by watering to establish the stand of grass. b. General instructions regarding seeding and care: Not applicable. c. Weed control will be standard for the crop selected, and coordinated with the land owner and County weed and pest control agency. 17 This mix is based upon recommendations by USDA-NRCS (Robert Fuller, Letter of 17 AUG 2000 and Fax of 30 AUG 2000): For temporary seeding for stabilization and protection of stockpiles: Either use the orchardgrass and meadow brome if you are going to irrigate the spoil pile. If not, a drought tolerant easily established mix such as perennial rye (Lolium perenne) with strawberry clover (Trifolium fragiferum, var. palestine) would be adequate. All seedings should be mulched with approximately 4000 lbs. of weed-free straw crimped into the seedbed with tracked equipment. An alternative is a temporary mix consisting of sanfoin and slender wheatgrass, based on watering for establishment (not permanent irrigation) McStone Aggregates, LLC 15 FEB 2008 ©WASTELINE, INC 2008 PN 5006.1-4(009)
