All of these revegetation practices are either at the request of the landowner(s) or substantiated <br />by Jim Boyd from the local NRCS office (See Attachment 2.05.4(2)(e) -11). <br />At times, the size or shape of the retopsoiled areas and shape of the reclaimed area in relation to <br />a management unit may be insufficient to warrant establishment of the perennial irrigated cropland <br />species initially. When this occurs, and the period before establishment of permanent irrigated <br />pasture will extend beyond a year, Seed Mix #3 - Temporary Reclamation, will be used. This mix <br />will provide interim stabilization as well as organic matter benefits when incorporated during tillage <br />and seedbed preparation prior to seeding of the irrigated pasture seed mixes. <br />Seeding will be done with a drill seeder that can drill the seeds into the ground to a depth that the <br />species of grass requires. Alternatively, a broadcast seeder may be used; if this is the case, seeds <br />will be broadcasted at double the drill seed rate. Either of these two types of seeding equipment <br />will provide the greatest level of success in terms of proper seed placement and firming of the soil <br />around the seed. These seeding methods will be applied to both Seed Mix #7 and the green <br />manure. <br />In order to manage the cropland fields properly, a sequence of operations over the liability period <br />has been developed and is included in Subsection 5.7.1. <br />PR -06 June 2010 2.05.4(2)(e) - 42 <br />
