Seed shall be broadcast at the specified application rate and covered (except pocked <br />surfaces) using a drag bar, chain link, or packer wheels. If seed is drilled, use one -half <br />(1/2) the broadcast rate. <br />Seeding shall be performed during one of the following time periods: <br />For best results, between October 15 and consistent ground freeze; or <br />Between August 1 and August 31. <br />Re- vegetation efforts on the disturbed areas will be considered satisfactory when: <br />Soil erosion resulting from the operation has been stabilized; and <br />A vegetative cover at least equal to that present prior to the disturbance and a plant <br />species composition at least as desirable as that present prior to the disturbance has <br />been established. <br />Broadcast seeding will be done with either a tractor mounted seeder or a whirly bird hand <br />seeder. The seed will then be lightly covered with soil either by using a spring toothed <br />harrow or by hand racking. Hay mulch will be applied on the rangeland areas at a rate of <br />1 -2 tons per acre. It will be dispersed and then crimped with a disc on the approximately <br />450 acres with 4:1 slopes. The remaining 50 or so acres of 2:1 slopes will be hydro <br />mulched with wood fiber at 1200 -1800 pounds per acre after hydro seeding. <br />The preferred seeding time will be fall. Spring planting will be use only if fall planting is <br />not possible. <br />The soil will be tested prior to seeding to determine if fertilizers or other soil amendments <br />will be necessary to insure plant growth. <br />
