~~ <br />3-15 <br />3.4.7 Shrub and Tree Planting <br />Due to the limited acreage of disturbance and the uncertainty of establishment, <br />the three tree species existing in the Juniper Woodland areas (Utah Juniper, Pinyon <br />Pine and Gamble=s Oak) will not be planted. <br />Shrubs to be planted in these areas will included Utah Serviceberry <br />(Amerlanchier utahensis), Big Sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata), Fourwing Saltbush <br />(Atriplex canescens), Shadscale Saltbush (Atriplex confertifolia), Winterfat (Ceratoides <br />lantana), True Mountain Mahogany (Cerocarpus montanus), Rubber Rabbitbrush <br />(Chrysothamnus nauseosus), Antelope Bitterbrush (Purshia tridentata) and Skunkbush <br />(Rhus trilobata). <br />Disturbance in the, shadscale community was limited to a small area of south <br />facing slopes in the lower portal facility area, and a segment of the upper road. <br />Disturbance in the greasewood community was the lower segment of haul road, <br />existing facilities, mouth of McClane Canyon, Coal Mine Waste Pile, Construction <br />Matenal and Topsoil Stockpiles as well as the sediment Pond. The planting density will <br />be about 40 seeds per square foot for drill seeding and about 80 seeds per square foot <br />for broadcast or hydro seeding. <br />TR-16 <br />M`-Volume 1 <br />(Rev 05/08) <br />
