Russian Wildrye Bozoisky 1.0 <br />*RS Wheatgrass Newhy 0.6 <br />Alfalfa Spreador 2 2.4 <br />5.7 <br />If RS Wheatgrass is not available, increase Pubescent Wheatgrass by 1.0 pound/acres. <br />"Broadcast rate is double the drilled rate <br />Site Variation Adaptability of Seed Mix 8: <br />Dry Sites: All species. <br />Moist Sites: Agropyron hybrid, Medicago. <br />Cool Season: Agropyron, Elymus,. <br />Warm Season: Medicago. <br />Fine Textured Sites: Agropyron hybrid, Elymus, Medicago. <br />Coarse Textured Sites: All species except Medicago. <br />Revegetation methods, including seedbed preparation and seeding, are similar to that presented <br />earlier in the revegetation plan discussion for the New Horizon Mine. Exceptions include the <br />possible use of the grass drill specified in the irrigated pasture revegetation discussion in lieu of the <br />rangeland type drill and the use of cover crop for surface stabilization only on steeper slopes. No <br />mulching is planned for these small areas, however, a cover crop will be seeded as a surface <br />stabilization measure. Management and maintenance activities will include any necessary repair <br />of rills or gullies (detailed at the end of this section), reseeding, or grazing management. Grazing <br />managementwill be centered on the proper use by livestock of the dryland pasture areas in relation <br />to the associated irrigated pasture. These areas will initially be irrigated by water cannon for the <br />first 3 years to insure successful establishment of the dryland pasture. They will not be irrigated <br />after the initial three year period. Dryland pasture will only receive an initial fertilizer application at <br />the time of seeding. <br />Additional Revegetation Measures <br />Shrubs and bushes are not planned to be planted because of the post mining land use. The <br />owners of the reclaimed land (both 1987 and 1999) do not want shrubs or bushes in their fields. <br />(Revised 1-15-03) 2.05.4(2)(e) -11
