(ii) Time of seeding, seedbed preparation, type, application rate and soil <br />incorporation, method of fertilization application. Please see the recommended <br />and submitted report by John F. Nelson Soil Conservationist in cooperation <br />with the Rio Grande Soil Conservation District dated September 5, 1986. <br />The Nelson report recommendation is to seed in late fall just prior to freeze up <br />and snowfall. The seedbed will be scarified and it will be across the slope in the <br />backsloped area. <br />The following seeding rates and recommendations are made for any disturbed areas. <br />Indian Ricegrass <br />Western Wheatgrass — Arriba Variety <br />Streambank Wheatgrass- Sodar Variety <br />Sand Dropseed <br />3.0 lbs /Ac PLS <br />1.0 lbs /Ac PLS <br />1.5 lbs /Ac PLS <br />0.1 lbs /Ac PLS <br />• seeding rates are given in pounds of Pure Live Seed (PLS) <br />PLS= purity x germination <br />(iii) Fertilization is planned for reclamation, a one -time application of 18 -46-0 at a rate <br />of 300 pounds per acre. Barnyard manure will be very beneficial in improving the <br />soil and increasing the water holding capacity of the soil. <br />(iv) Establishment method for each species of shrub or tree: No shrubs or trees are <br />proposed for this open rangeland area. <br />(v) Topsoiling shall be dispersed at a depth of 2 to 11 inches if available. The rock <br />areas will not be topsoiled. Only the areas with the chance of growing grass will <br />be covered with topsoil. <br />Please see the RANGE INVENTORY SEEDING RATES AND <br />RECOMMENDATIONS completed by John F. Nelson on the following pages for a <br />detailed over view of the reclamation and some of the existing plant communities. The <br />soil types in the permit area can be found in Exhibit I — Soils information and the <br />existing vegetation can be examined in Exhibit J- Vegetation information. <br />
