The introduced species <br />support the proposed postmining land use, and the referenced literature and professionals <br />consulted in the preparation of these seed mixtures support the fact that these species are <br />desirable and necessary to achieve the agricultural postmining land use. <br />Species selection for the irrigated pasture mixes was based on (1) irrigated pasture mixtures <br />should be relatively simple, with only a few grasses and legumes; (2) the legumes should be a <br />persistent, adapted, non - bloating species; (3) all of the grass and legume species should be <br />utilized in existing irrigated pasture mixtures in this area: and (4) the grass component should be <br />palatable, nutritious, persistent and compatible in the stand. Alfalfa, the desirable legume for <br />Seed Mix #5 is selected for its long history of production and longevity in the local area. Dean <br />Stindt, formerly with the Natural Resource Conservation Service in Norwood and now the Range <br />Management Specialist with the Bureau of Land Management in Norwood, recommended many <br />of varieties shown in Seed Mix #5, and some minor changes were made based upon detailed <br />vegetation sampling of these areas conducted in 2009 and 2010. Birdsfoot trefoil, selected as the <br />legume for Seed Mix #6, is a long -lived perennial forage legume that is non - bloating, winter <br />hardy, and adapted to a range of site conditions including poorly drained sites.
