* *Broadcast rate is doubled what would normally be used and is shown as such. Forage Kochia <br />will only be applied through broadcast seeding therefore, its application rate is double that shown <br />above. <br />Site Variation Adaptability of Seed Mix #8 <br />Dry Sites: All species. <br />Moist Sites: Agropyron hybrid, Medicago. <br />Cool Season: Agropyron, Elymus. <br />Warm Season: Medicago. <br />Fine Textured Sites: Agropyron hybrid, Elyrnus, Medicago. <br />Coarse Textured Sites: All species. <br />Revegetation methods, including seedbed preparation and seeding, are similar to that presented <br />earlier in the revegetation plan. Exceptions include the possible use of the grass drill specified in <br />the irrigated pasture revegetation discussion in lieu of the rangeland type drill and the use of <br />cover crop for surface stabilization only on steeper slopes. No mulching is planned for these <br />areas, however, a cover crop may be seeded as a surface stabilization measure. Management and <br />maintenance activities will include any necessary repair of rills or gullies, reseeding, or grazing <br />management. Grazing management will be centered on the proper use by livestock of the <br />Dryland Pasture areas in relation to the associated Irrigated Pasture. Depending on the results of <br />the initial soils' analysis, Dryland Pasture will only receive an initial fertilizer application at the <br />time of seeding. <br />WFC anticipates that volunteer willows and other hydrophytic species to grow in low lying <br />swales, drainage channels adjacent to sediment ponds and in the wetland mitigation sites shown <br />on Map 2.05.5 -1, Postmining Land Use Map. Shrubs will also invade into the reclaimed areas <br />associated with the Dryland Pasture areas over time, which is a normal plant successional pattern <br />for improved pastureland in western slope of Colorado. <br />Map 2.05.5 -1, Postmining Land Use Map shows the areas of the reclaimed Irrigated Pasture and <br />Dryland Pasture land use /vegetation types that will be reestablished through the reclamation <br />Section 2.05.4(2)(e) Page 13 April 2011 <br />
