The timetable for revegetation of affected lands delineated in the
Reclamation Plan provided for two acres of the total 140 acres dis-
turbed at this site to enter Phase 1 (Seedbed Stabilization) and an-
other two acres to enter Phase 2 during 1977. During the current
year of 1978 the timetable provided for a total of 12 acres to enter
various phases of the revegetation program. At the present time re-
clamation has been initiated on a total of 30 acres since June 1,
1977; 4.5 acres in 1977; and 25 acres in 1978.
The projected and actual acreages now in various phases of reclamation
are tabulated below, along with the acreage projections for 1979.

Correlation of the present status of the above-mentioned affected lands
with that predicted in the Reclamation timetable reveals the program to
be progressing relatively well, and ahead of schedule.

The Alpine Mix and Mountain Mix were applied at the application rate
