Fourwing Saltbush Rincon 0.3 Total 5.8 * *Broadcast rate is doubled what would normally be used and is shown as such. Forage Kochia will only be applied through broadcast seeding therefore, its application rate is double that shown above. Site Variation Adaptability of Seed Mix #8 Dry Sites: Moist Sites: Cool Season: Warm Season: Fine Textured Sites: Coarse Textured Sites: All species. Agropyron hybrid, Medicago. Agropyron, Elymus. Medicago. Agropyron hybrid, Elyrnus, Medicago. All species. Revegetation methods, including seedbed preparation and seeding, are similar to that presented earlier in the revegetation plan. Exceptions include the possible use of the grass drill specified in the irrigated pasture revegetation discussion in lieu of the rangeland type drill and the use of cover crop for surface stabilization only on steeper slopes. No mulching is planned for these areas, however, a cover crop may be seeded as a surface stabilization measure. Management and maintenance activities will include any necessary repair of rills or gullies, reseeding, or grazing management. Grazing management will be centered on the proper use by livestock of the Dryland Pasture areas in relation to the associated Irrigated Pasture. Depending on the results of the initial soils' analysis, Dryland Pasture will only receive an initial fertilizer application at the time of seeding. WFC anticipates that volunteer willows and other hydrophytic specie will become establishe in low lying swales, drainage channels adjacent to sediment ponds and in the wetland mitigation sites shown on Map 2.05.5 -1, Postmining Land Use Map. Shrubs will also invade into the reclaimed areas associated with the Dryland Pasture areas over time, which is a normal plant successional pattern for improved pasture in western slope of Colorado.
