These grasses have proven to do well in the dry lowland environment of the lower Colorado <br />River valley. They will prevent erosion and do provide forage and cover for animals. <br />Seeding will normally be done during the fall when temperatures are cooler. Straw mulch will be <br />used, (certified "weed free ") and applied at a rate of 2,000 pounds per acre and either crimped or <br />"tackified" at 150 pounds per acre. <br />Prior to disturbance, each cottonwood that will be removed from the disturbed area will be <br />inventoried. Upon final filling of each lake area, the exact waterline will be determined and at <br />least 2 cottonwood saplings will be planted for each cottonwood that is removed. They will be <br />planted approximately 12" -18" vertically above the waterline so that they will not have to be <br />watered. <br />The acreage that will be seeded and mulched as dry rangeland is approximately 25.9 acres. This <br />includes the slopes of the lakes and the flat land edge along the perimeter of the property, <br />including the area where the visual berm once was located. <br />The topsoiled slopes of the lakes designated for wetlands will be broadcast seeded or <br />hydroseeded for a distance 5 feet below waterline and 10 feet above waterline with the following <br />mix: <br />Otter Creek Pit December 12 E -5 <br />
