4) Disturbed areas will be reseeded to stabilize the surface and control erosion using a seed mixture developed in consultation with the surface landowner and CDOW. Replaced "A" and "B" horizon material will be scarified prior to seeding, and areas will be drill or broadcast seeded at the prescribed rates. A harrow or similar implement will be used to drag the surface and cover the seed following seeding. Two seed mixtures have been developed for reseeding surface lands disturbed by the 2009 Exploration Program: 1) a dryland pasture mixture for agricultural lands cropped as pastureland; and, 2) a rangeland mixture. Dryland pasture mixture: Species PLS lbs/acre Thickspike wheatgrass (Critana) 1.0 Mountain brome (Bromar) 3.0 Western wheatgrass (Arriba) 2.0 Slender wheatgrass (San Luis) 2.0 Bluebunch wheatgrass (Secar) 1.0 Orchardgrass (Paiute) 2.0 Green needlegrass (Lodorm) 1.0 Total PLS 12.0 (double for broadcast seeding) Rangeland mixture: Species PLS lbs/acre Thickspike wheatgrass (Critana) 1.0 Mountain brome (Bromar) 2.0 Western wheatgrass (Arriba) 2.0 Slender wheatgrass (San Luis) 2.0 Bluebunch wheatgrass (Secar) 1.0 Basin wildrye (Trailhead) 2.0 Orchardgrass (Paiute) 0.25 Green needlegrass (Lodorm) 2.0 Canada bluegrass (Ruebens) 0.10 Sheep fescue (Covar) 0.25 Big bluegrass (Sherman) 0.25 Alfalfa (Falcata) 0.10 Rocky Mtn. penstemon (Bandera) 0.25 Palmer penstemon (Ceder) 0.10 Blue flax (Appar) 0.50 Arrowleaf balsaroot (Native) 0.50 Tailcup lupine (Native) 1.0 Yarrow (Native) 0.10 Pacific aster (Native) 0.10 Chokecherry (Native) 1.0 Serviceberry (Native) 0.50 Mountain snowberry (Native) 0.50 Antelope bitterbrush (Native) 1.0 Mountain big sage brush 0.25 Total PLS 18.75 (double for broadcast seeding) Sage Creek Project - 2009 NOI 04/08/09 15
