stabilization plan is detailed at the end of this section. Weed and pest control management will be <br />conducted as necessary and in accordance with the plan described at the end of this section. <br />Management activities will center on proper irrigation water management, fertilization, and grazing <br />or harvest management. Irrigation will be accomplished with side roll sprinklers and water cannons <br />supplied by 12 inch and 6 inch supply lines. Water will be applied at a rate of 2 inches per week. <br />Exhibit 2.05.4 -5 shows sprinkler layout to cover both irrigated pasture and irrigated hayland. <br />Fertilization requirements will be based on the results of periodic soils tests and NRCS or Extension <br />Service recommended normal application rates, with the rates directed towards maintaining vigor <br />and the required production level of the stand during the bond liability period. Split applications will <br />be considered for maximum effectiveness of the fertilizer applications. Grazing of the established <br />irrigated pastures will not be considered during the first season in order to reduce trampling and <br />pulling of the plants by livestock. Harvesting (mechanical) will be used to remove any significant <br />growth during the first season. After the first season, and depending on the size of the <br />management unit and availability of additional management units, grazing may be implemented. <br />Harvesting will continue to be considered as a management option if grazing is not implemented <br />in any given year. Harvested hay will be removed from the fields as rapidly as hay quality and <br />weather conditions permit. <br />Revegetation Methods - Dryland Pasture <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). <br />Seed Mix #8 has been developed to provide a mix of species that are compatible with the adjacent <br />irrigated pasture type, has a high level of utility, and will provide long term protection of the <br />resource. <br />The above varieties are preferred but do not constitute the only available adapted varieties. 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 <br />regional sources. <br />(Revised 1- 15 -03) 2.05.4(2)(e) - 10 7rR -50 <br />' gxry ve <br />/ -3 /� y X00 <br />
