recommended Indian ricegrass, needle-and-thread and cicer milkvetch be seeded. I could not <br />find a document in the DRMS file incorporating these additional species into the seed mix. <br />Regardless, cicer milkvetch is not recommended since it requires 15+ inches of annual <br />precipitation. Needle -and-thread is marginal at 7 -16 inches of precipitation. Indian ricegrass <br />is not a recommended species for the three mine sites since its annual precipitation range is 8-14 <br />inches. <br />Shadscale is generally planted as tubelings (small plants planted by hand and watered for <br />establishment). It is not recommended except for small area plantings. Four-wing saltbush <br />requires at least 8 inches of annual precipitation so it is not recommended for the site. (The <br />average annual site precipitation is 6-10 inches.) <br />2.2 19 Road Pit Revised Seed Mix and Justification: <br />Please see Section 1.2 above. <br />3.0 Virginia Acres: <br />3.1 Virginia Acres Pit Existing Seed Mix: <br />SPECIES Precip.

United committed to planting seven (7) cottonwoods on the south <br />side of the lake and six (6) locations where shrubs would be planted. DRMS requested United <br />commit to planting a greater density of trees and shrubs. The Division recommended United <br />plant Willow, Alder, Green Ash, and additional Cottonwoods.
