Reclamation Grass <br />Seeding Mixl: <br />WGCD personnel: Ellen Nelson Date: 28-Oct-08 <br />Landowner Plumb Ridge LLC <br />Acres to be seeded: 20.00 <br />Seeding Plant into topsoil. Seed mix is designed for final reseeding of <br />reclaimed areas. Application rate has been doubled for critical <br />area reclamation. Application rate is for drilling the seed. If seed <br />is to be broadcast, the application rate must be doubled again. <br /> <br /> Acres to <br /> PLS/Ac to <br />1 Rate be <br />Species PLS Rates use (100%) % in mix PLS Ib/ac seeded Total PLS <br />Switchgrass 4.0/2.0 4.0 20 0.8 20.0 16.0 <br />Yellow indiangrass 10.0/5.0 10.0 10 1.0 20.0 20.0 <br />Sideoats grama 9.0 /-4.5- 9.0 20 1.8 20.0 36.0 <br />Blue grama 3.0/1-.5 3.0 10 _03 20.0 6.0 <br />Western wheatgrass 16.018.0 16.0 25 4.0 20.0 80.0 <br />Sand dropseed 0.5/03 0.5 5 0.0 20.0 0.5 <br />Little bluestem 7.013.5 7.0 10 0.7 20.0 , 14.0 <br />Totals 49.5 100.0 8.6 20.0 172.5 <br />Additional Seeding Notes: <br />Seed bed preparation is important. The seedbed should be well settled and <br />firm, but friable enough that seed can be drilled at -1/2" seeding depth. Soils <br />that have been over-compacted by traffic or equipment, especially when wet, <br />should be tilled to break up root restricting layers, then harrowed, rolled or <br />packed to prepare the required firm seedbed. A fluffy or too soft seedbed will <br />place seeds too deep for proper germination. The seedbed should be <br />reasonably free of weeds. Control competitive stands of weeds that are <br />present before seeding by shallow tillage or by application of herbicides <br />labeled for this purpose. Fertilizer is not required. Mulch with weed-free <br />wheat straw and crimp into place. <br />West Greeley Conservation District Page 2 of 4 <br />\\Server\client files\PlumbRidee\PlumbRidae 102808.doc <br />25
