l� <br /> 2.05.4(2 ) (e) Revegetation Plan <br /> This revegetation plan is designed to restore the <br /> disturbed and regraded mining area to improved rangeland and wildlife <br /> habitat. All of the regraded and topsoiled areas will be seeded with <br /> the rangeland seed mix. The small areas that were previously Pinyon- <br /> Juniper woodland will also be vegetated with the rangeland seed mix. <br /> This plan has been developed with input from the landowners who desire <br /> the improved rangeland and wildlife habitat. <br /> During the first available planting season (weather <br /> dependent) after soil preparation, (usually April 1 to May 15 and <br /> September 1 to November 15) , seeding, of the seed mix shown below will <br /> be done using an acceptable state of the art range land drill pulled <br /> by a rubber tired farm type tractor or other suitable equipment. <br /> Broadcast seeding will be used for situations where drill seeding is <br /> not practicable or feasible. <br /> Rangeland Seed Mix <br /> Seeds Seeding Rate <br /> /SF # PLS/Acre <br /> Indian ricegrass, Orvzopus hymenoides 8.0 2.50 <br /> Blue grama, Bouteloua gracilis 11.7 0.60 <br /> Needleandthread, Stiva comata 4.0 1.50 <br /> *Galleta (floret) , Hilaria iamesii 8.8 2.40 <br /> Sand Dropseed, Sporobolus cryptandrus 6.0 0.05 <br /> **Utah Sweetvetch, Heydsarum boreale 1.0 1.00 <br /> Blue Flax, Linum lewisii 2.7 0.40 <br /> Fourwing saltbush, Atriplex canescens 0.6 0.50 <br /> Winterfat, Eurotia lanata 1.3 0.50 <br /> Totals 44.1 9.45 <br /> Seeding rate is for drill seeding - rate should be doubled for <br /> broadcast seeding. <br /> # PLS/Acre - Pounds of pure live seed per acre. <br /> *Sideoats grama, Bouteloua curtipendula, may be substitued for Galleta <br /> depending on seed availability. Sideoats grama will be seeded at the <br /> rate of 1.6 #/acre which equates to 7.0 seeds per square foot. <br /> **Cicer milkvetch, Astragalus cicer, Lutana may be substituted for <br /> Utah Sweetvetch depending on seed availability. <br /> At the time of seeding, fertilizer will be applied to <br /> enhance root development in the range mix seedlings. The actual type <br /> and amount of fertilizer applied will be determined by requirements <br /> derived from the analysis of random soil samples taken from the <br /> surface one foot of redistributed topsoil material. At the beginning <br /> of the second season of growth for the range seedlings, nitrate <br /> fertilizer will be applied at the recommended rate for the type of <br /> range vegetation utilized in reseeding and according to the rate <br /> indicated by soil analysis. <br /> 2.05-24 July 1993 <br />
