The grass and seeded forbs will be planted in rows spaced at
two feet. Each plot row will be 40 feet long. Each plot will be
replicated three times on both the slope (no.l) and the flat area
(no. 2) . Guard rows will be seeded between each test row.
The seeded plots will be planted in mid-June. Furrows will be
made across slope and fertilizer and peat worked in before seeding._
Seeded species will be hand drilled into the furrow and mulched.
Estimated material:
Peat 600 lbs.
Fertilizer N.P.K. & miner elem. 200 lbs.
Mulch (meadow hay or peat) 600 lbs.
IRRIGATION
These plots and transplants will be irrigated for establishment
during 1978 and the spring of 1979. Irrigation water will be applied
at a slow rate to prevent washing on the slopes. Irrigation schedule:
2 inches initially
1/2-1 inch every four days for the first two weeks; then,
2 inches every two weeks during the first growing season. !i
The second year one irrigation will be applied in June.

MANAGEMENT
All weed control will be by hand labor. No chemicals will be
used due to the varied species in this project.
The project area will be identified for management and evaluations.
Grazing and rodent control will be maintained by Standard Metals so
as to protect young plants and seedlings. "
Fertilizer will be applied in future years if it is needed.
This project will be maintained for a period of about 6 years.
I
EVALUATION
Information will be recorded at least annually on stand, vigor
and rate of growth. Evaluations will be made jointly by the SCS and
Standard Metals. Production may be a factor to measure at a later
date.
A copy of evaluations will be provided to Standard Metals annually.
All evaluations recorded by the SCS relative to this project will be
public information.
