5.0 Revegetation Methods - Dryland Pasture (DP) <br />The dryland pasture type will be established in areas which were previously sagebrush rangeland <br />on the 1987 Travessitta -Pinon soils and on 1999 soil map units 9813, 98C and 98H (see Map <br />2.04.9 -1). It also may be established on former irrigated lands that do not have sufficient water <br />for future irrigation.

Seed , <br />availability problems associated with the above recommended varieties will require that the next' <br />best adapted variety or native /common types be used. The alternate selections will be made from` r_V <br />regional sources. <br />Species selection criteria centered on species that are drought tolerant, reasonably productive <br />under semiarid conditions, able to provide site stabilization, able to withstand grazing pressure, <br />and have utility for livestock and wildlife. The seed variety and mixture is commonly'used in this <br />region and was reviewed by the local Soil Conservation Service. <br />All species are introduced, however these are the best available species for the postmine land use <br />and are necessary : and desirable to achieve the intended use. <br />• <br />PR -06 Oct 09 2.05.4(2)(e) - 24 <br />
