WEST GREELEY <br />CONSERVATION DISTRICT <br />4302 W. 9th St. Rd. <br />Greeley, Colorado 80634-1398 <br />(970) 356-8097 #3 <br />TO: JC York, J&T Consulting <br />FROM: Ellen Nelson, West Greeley Conservation District <br />DATE: October 14, 2008 <br />SUBJECT: Seed mix for reclamation <br />JC York, <br />Thank you for contacting us regarding a seed mix for a reclaimed gravel site. I am including 2 <br />seed mixes, a seed mix for the final reclamation of 10 acres based on the species in the original <br />seed mix that we recommended, and a mix for your temporary topsoil stockpiles, designed to <br />establish more rapidly and serve to stabilize those stockpile areas. <br />When reseeding the reclamation site, it will be important to establish a firm seedbed. Seeding of <br />these native grasses may be done November through April. We recommend doubling the normal <br />seeding rate for critical area seeding. We also recommend using weed-free wheat straw mulch <br />and crimping it in as is recommended for highway right-of-way reseeding projects. <br />The following seed mix is what we recommend for your final reseeding. This mix contains <br />native grasses which should reestablish on your site. <br />West Greeley Conservation District Page I of 3 <br />\\Server\client files\EskewBrenaEskewBrent09O5O8.doc
