Revegetation <br />The site is beginning to green up, especially south facing areas where the soil is warming. <br />This site used both broadcast seeding and hydro-seeding techniques, with hydro-seeding <br />used on the steepest slopes. This <br />will be the fourth growing season for <br />the hydro-seeded areas N-2, E-1, <br />and E-2 as shown on the 2008 <br />Annual Reclamation Report map. Of <br />the 124 acres reseeded to-date, <br />about 116 acres have passed <br />through three growing seasons, with <br />some areas coming into the eighth <br />growing season in 2010. Successful <br />revegetation is key to controlling <br />long-term erosion at this site. <br />General observations seems to <br />indicate that rill and gully erosion has <br />been substantially reduced in areas <br />where vegetation has become <br />established. <br />4
