Comments: Rhizomatous species include: Agropyron smithii, Agropyron dasystachyum. <br />• Early spring growth species include: Agropyron desertorum and Poa compressa. <br />• <br />Revegetation Methods - Reclaimed Irrigated Pastureland <br />Two irrigated pasture mixes have been developed in order to establish the irrigated pasture, <br />depending on the conditions of the site being reclaimed. Seed Mix #5 has been developed for <br />upland, well- drained sites for Irrigated Pasture, while Seed Mix #6 has been developed for <br />lowland areas or other areas that may be poorly drained (swales). Seed Mix #7 will be used on <br />the Intensively Managed Irrigated Pastureland areas. The Irrigated Pasture mix has a fair range <br />of adaptability for drier or wetter sites that may develop in the principal areas where the mix is <br />used. <br />The majority of the revegetated areas will be returned to a postmining land use of irrigated <br />pasture including lands within the permit area which have not been disturbed, but which have <br />had irrigation water shut -off in order to better control and manage surface and ground water <br />within the mine area during operations.
