The use of straw mulch has clearly proven to be an effective method in <br />establishing desirable grasses, forbs and the like. It would typically take more than just mulch to <br />maintain moist soils necessaryfor the germination and establishment of these species. Typically it would <br />consist of poor drainage, ponding, high water tables, etc. Overall, the benefits of using mulch far <br />outweigh the passible downside.) <br />• Spot spray establishing weeds if found during reclamation operations or shortly thereafter <br />Control Methods Following Reclamation <br />• Closely monitor all reclaimed areas for plant establishment success and weed infestations. <br />• Reseed any areas of non-establishment in the next available season. <br />• Mechanically and chemically control any weed infestations found. <br />AS WITH ALL INVASIVE PLANT MANAGEMENT, FOLLOW-UP MONITORING AND CONTROL IS <br />ESSENTIAL TO MAINTAIN DESIRED MANAGEMENT LEVELS. <br />(It is important to remember that this is only a Guideline and as such, even though DMG can require and <br />enforce weed control methods for these species, the individual elements outlined in this document are not <br />enforceable.)
