3. Comments and remarks: <br />1. Seed mixes for soil protection and reclamation. <br />Source: NRCS (SCS) letter 26 SEP 1994 (Original application Exhibit 1) <br />Seeding will be done immediately after application of erosion control polymers, <br />usually within seven days of completion of a stockpile or length of stockpile, and <br />followed by watering to establish the stand of grass, provided the season meets NRCS <br />recommendations. <br />b. General instructions regarding seeding and care: Not applicable. <br />c. Weed control will be standard for the crop selected, and coordinated with <br />the land owner and County weed and pest control agency. A weed control <br />plan is presently in effect, per prior communication with DRMS. <br />Guidance from NRCS: Revenetation: <br />1.) Seedbed Preparation: Seedbed should be clean, firm and free of weeds and <br />other non-desirable vegetation. Areas were there is excessive compaction will be <br />tilled, such as chiseling and disking, to break up the compaction and then harrowed <br />down. If seedbed is soft after tillage operations allow 2 to 4 weeks following the last <br />operation for the soil to settle and firm up. <br />2.) Planting period: Planting should be done either in the Spring (up to 30 April), <br />between 15 August and 30 September, or from 15 October until snow or frozen soil <br />prohibits seeding. <br />3.) Planting Method: Planting should be done with a grass drill or adapted grain drill <br />preferablly with depth bands and packer wheels. Depth of seed placement shall <br />between 1 /2 to 3/4 inch and row spacing shall be 7 to 12 inches. In areas where the <br />use of a drill is not feasible, evenly broadcasting seed is acceptable at double the <br />seeding rate. Raking will be required to cover the seed to a depth of 1 /2 to 3/4 inch. <br />4.) Seeding Mixture: A seeding mixture of cool season grasses will be used.
