Three sources of wetland vegetation ensure the establishment of a diverse and self- <br />sustaining wetland plant community. Subject to site conditions and availability, after basins <br />have been backfilled and graded they will be seeded using the "Foothills Wetland Seed <br />Mix" prepared by Western Native Seed Company or similar prepared wetland seed mix <br />native to the region and life zone. In addition, colonization from nearby existing wetland <br />plant communities and volunteer plant growth will ensure the propagation of wetland <br />vegetation that is genetically best suited to the specific environmental conditions along this <br />section of the Poudre River riparian corridor. <br />SEED MIX FOR WETLAND AREAS * <br /> <br />COMMON NAME <br />SCIENTIFIC NAME VARIETY <br />% PLS <br />LBS/Acre <br />Use Western Native <br />Seed's or similar High Plains/Foothills Wetland <br />Mix most economical treatment <br /> <br />American slou h rass Beckmannia s zi achne 12.0 0.96 <br />Woolly sedge Carex lanu inosa 0.5 0.80 <br />Nebraska sedge Carex nebrascensis 4.0 0.16 <br />Creeping s ikerush Eleocharis alustris 10.0 0.16 <br />Canada wild rye El mus canadensis 15.0 0.80 <br />Arctic rush Juncus balticus/arcticus 1.0 0.16 <br />Torre 's rush Juncus torre i 1.0 0.16 <br />Manna grass Gl ceria striata 0.5 0.64 <br />Switch grass Panicum vir tum 12.0 0.96 <br />Hard-stem bulrush Scir us acutis 10.0 0.16 <br />Three-square bulrush Scir us americanus 4.0 0.80 <br />Cloaked bulrush Scir us allidus 1.0 0.80 <br />Alkali bulrush Scir us aludosus 10.0 0.64 <br />Softstem bulrush Sci us validus 10.0 0.16 <br />Prairie cord grass S artina ectinata 9.0 0.16 <br /> <br /> 100.0 8.00 <br /> <br />In areas that are peripheral to the post-mining ponds, marsh and aquatic plants are <br />expected to establish themselves. The species of plants anticipated to occur naturally <br />along the lake shoreline include cattails, willows, cottonwoods, and bulrushes. These <br />plants should minimize shore erosion potential. If native species do not establish along the <br />shorelines, additional plantings will be installed to supplement the habitat. Additional <br />shoreline planting may include the following: <br />Riverview Resource <br />Amendment to Permit M1999098 112c <br />Page E5 of E6
