<br />EXHIBIT E-2 <br /> <br />Moffat County will use the following standard seed-mix formula for revegetation of <br />disturbed areas in our gravel pits. * <br />Pure live seed: <br />Western Wheatgrass 5.0 lb/ac = 37% <br />Intermediate Wheatgrass 5.0 lb/ac = 37% <br />Sheep (or hard) Fescue 3.0 lb/ac = 22% <br />Cicer Milkvetch 0.5 lb/ac = 04% <br />The above seed-mix formula will not be modified or amended without consulting the <br />landowner and the Division of Minerals and Geology. This formula is designed for drill <br />applications; the seeding rate will be doubled for broadcasting applications. <br />Moffat County has as many as 18 active gravel pits on inventory at any one time, <br />and finds it impractical to work with a different seed-mix far each project. In <br />1991, we asked specialists from the BLM, Soil Conservation Service, Colorado <br />Division of Wildlife, Division of Minerals and Geology and County Agent to <br />design a seed mix that would be acceptable for all of the County's projects. The <br />agencies recognized that it wasn't perfect, but they deferred to the above.formula, <br />and for some 17 years, Moffat County has reclaimed its gravel pits using this <br />formula without a failure, or a complaint. <br />BLM (LSRA) Reference No. 3600 (170) <br />(See Letter Dated August 5, 1991) <br />EXHIBIT E-2 (Seed Mix Formula)
