5. Revegetation Plan <br />The reclamation seed mix is intended to restore a vegetation community that is good for cattle <br />and/or sheep grazing and deer /elk grazing but the mix also contains shrub seed which could <br />potentially result in sage grouse use in the future. Many years of experience in reclaiming sites <br />such as this have shown that although the reclamation seed mix contains considerable grasses <br />which will rapidly grow, eventually the shrubs (particularly sagebrush) will take over the site and <br />fully restore the existing community. <br />The areas being reclaimed will be harrowed and drill seeded in the spring and fall with a mix <br />consisting of the following in order to control erosion: <br />Species Lbs Pure Live Seed per acre <br />Fairway Crested Wheatgrass 1.5 <br />Pubescent Wheatgrass 1.0 <br />Galleta (floret) 3.0 <br />Indian Ricegrass 3.0 <br />Winterfat 0.5 <br />Shadscale 0.5 <br />Scarlet Globemallow 0.5 <br />Bottlebrush 0.5 <br />Rabbitbrush 0.5 <br />Four - winged Saltbush 0_5 <br />Uncompahgre Pit, February 2013 E -3 <br />Total 11.5 lbs pure live seed per acre (drilled <br />rate) <br />
