Species selection criteria centered on species that are drought tolerant, reasonably productive <br />under semi-arid 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 />Seed Mix #8 - Dryland Pasture <br />Drilled Rate <br />Species Cultivar Ibs.oFPLSIAcmffi* <br />Fairway Crested Wheatgrass <br />Pubescent Wheatgrass <br />Russian Wildrye <br />*RS Wheatgrass <br />Alfalfa <br />Ephriam 0.6 <br />Luna 1.8 <br />Bozoisky 1.0 <br />Newhy 0.6 <br />Spreador 2 0.4 <br />5.7 <br />If RS Wheatgrass is not available, increase Pubescent Wheatgrass by 1.0 pound/acres. <br />"Broadcast rate is double the drilled rate <br />Site Variation Adaptability of Seed Mix 8: <br />Dry Sites: <br />Moist Sites: <br />Cool Season: <br />Warm Season: <br />Fine Textured Sites: <br />Coarse Textured Sites: <br />All species. <br />Agropyron hybrid, Medicago. <br />Agropyron, Elyrnus,. <br />Medicago. <br />Agropyron hybrid, Elymus, Medicago. <br />All species except Medicago. <br />Revegetation methods, including seedbed preparation and seeding, are similar to that presented <br />earlier in the revegetation plan discussion for the New Horizon Mine. Exceptions include the <br />possible use of the grass drill specified in the irrigated pasture revegetation discussion in lieu of <br />the rangeland type drill and the use of cover crop for surface stabilization only on steeper slopes. <br />(Revised 1-15-03) 2.05.4(2)(0) -11 <br />7W-58 <br />,,gA"ved <br />/3/?1a?.2cny'
