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 <br /> wildlife habitat. All of the regraded and topsoiled areas will <br /> be seeded with the rangeland seed mix. The small areas that were <br /> previously Pinyon-Juniper woodland will also be vegetated with <br /> the rangeland seed mix. This plan has been developed with input <br /> from the landowners who desire the improved rangeland and wild- <br /> life habitat. <br /> During the first available planting season (weath- <br /> er dependent) after soil preparation, (usually April 1 to May 15 <br /> and September 1 to November 15 ) , seeding, of the seed mix shown <br /> below will be done using an acceptable state of the art range <br /> land drill pulled by a rubber tired farm type tractor or other <br /> suitable equipment. Broadcast seeding will be used for situa- <br /> tions where drill seeding is not practicable or feasible. <br /> Rangeland Seed Mix <br /> Seeds Seeding Rate <br /> /SF # PLS/Acre <br /> Indian ricegrass , Oryzopus hymenoides 8.0 2.50 <br /> Blue grama, Bouteloua gracilis 11 . 7 0.60 <br /> Needleandthread, Stipa comata 4 .0 1 . 50 <br /> Galleta (floret ) , Hilaria jamesii 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 /> *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 <br /> to enhance root development in the range mix seedlings . The <br /> actual type and amount of fertilizer applied will be determined <br /> by requirements derived from the analysis of random soil samples <br /> taken from the surface one foot of redistributed topsoil materi- <br /> al . At the beginning of the second season of growth for the <br /> range seedlings , nitrate fertilizer will be applied at the recom- <br /> mended rate for the type of range vegetation utilized in reseed- <br /> ing and according to the rate indicated by soil analysis . <br /> ;• <br /> 2 . 05-24 July 1991 <br />
