MAIL <br />Classic <br />Page 1 of 2 <br />RE: New mining reclamation seed mix inquiry Wednesday, January 5, 2011 1:28 PM <br />From: "Spence, Edward - Brighton, CO" <edward.spence@co.usda.gov> <br />To: "Venture Resources" <ventureresources@att.net> <br />Ryan, <br />I no longer work in the Jefferson, Clear Creek, and Gilpin county area. However, the previous mix could still <br />be used. The species are found up to 10,000 ft in elevation. The one change I would make is to remove the <br />Blue Grama from the mix and add 1 pound of red fescue to the mix. Their seeding rates are very similar. <br />Blue grama is a warm season species that does not do well around shade, and red fescue is an introduced <br />species that is shade tolerant. The others are all cool season species, and depending on the degree of <br />shade, should be alright to use as long as the seeding is not under a canopy of trees. Nothing will grow <br />under that. <br />If you need more assistance, contact Boyd Byelich in our office in Longmont at 303-776-1242. <br />Ed <br />From: Venture Resources [mailto:ventureresources@att.net] <br />Sent: Monday, January 03, 2011 3:40 PM <br />To: Spence, Edward - Brighton, CO <br />Subject: New mining reclamation seed mix inquiry <br />Ed, <br />You helped me last year with a reclamation seed mix/soil profile for our mining project. <br />As part of this overall project, we will be removing additional mine dumps in the vicinity and reclaiming them as well. <br />The application you helped with earlier was a barren, south facing site. Could you help with a more shaded, forested <br />site? <br />Attached are the excerpts from the WEB soil survey of the new area, elevation about 9,200'. Could you prepare a letter <br />for this? Having this with the barren site you already did will cover all of our needs. <br />Thanks, <br />Ryan J.
