If seed is to be broadcast, the application <br />rate will be doubled. <br />The seed mix for final reclamation as described above does not require fertilizer as <br />recommended by the local NRCS office in Greeley, Colorado. The seeded areas will be covered <br />with dead crop litter from sorghum or milo crop forage, or with straw mulch at a rate of 4,000 <br />pounds per acre. <br />If a significant invasion of noxious weeds occurs after seeding, the weeds will be mowed before <br />they can go to seed. The areas will be mowed periodically for additional control as needed. <br />Mechanical control will be used as a first priority. Chemical methods will only be used if no other <br />alternative produces acceptable results. <br />For temporary stockpiles, the reclamation plan includes re-vegetating with appropriate seed <br />mixes to minimize erosion and establish more rapidly to stabilize the stockpiles. The grass <br />mixture below was selected as recommended by the Greeley NRCS field office. The proposed <br />seed mix is shown in the following table. <br />Temporary Stockpile Seed Mix Application Rate <br />(#PLS/acre) % in mix <br />Slender wheatgrass 2.8 #PLS/ac 25 <br />Smooth bromegrass 3.9 #PLS/ac 30 <br />Pubescent wheatgrass 4.2 #PLS/ac 30 <br />Sand dropseed 0.03 #PLS/ac 5 <br />Crested wheatgrass 0.6 #PLS/ac 10 <br />Totals 11.53 #PLS/ac 100 <br />* Application rate is for drilling the seed.
