Notes:
(1) Seed mixture referenced in Reclamation Prescriptions for the
Foothills and Mountain Ecosystems of the San Luis Valley Area,
dated February 1998. Seed mixture used at the Bulldog Project
will be certified to be weed -free.
(2) These species are "native" to the area.
(3) Pure live seed pounds per acre. The seeding rate is based on
broadcast seeding and noncritical planting. Noncritical areas
> The WRSF will be graded from a construction slope of about 1.3H:1 V to a final reclamation
slope of 3H:1 V. Grading will be accomplished using a Cat D6 dozer or similar equipment.
> Growth material salvaged during site preparation activities will be hauled back to the
graded WRSF and replaced. Spreading of the growth material will be accomplished using
a Cat D6 dozer. Final grading will be conducted using a grader.
> Fertilizer will be applied as necessary.
> A mulch or hydro -mulch will be applied to all south - facing reclaimed slopes to retain
moisture.
> The vegetation seed mix for areas between elevations of 8,000 — 10,000 feet will be
applied to the reclaimed slopes. This seed mix was previously approved by the State of
Colorado DRMS and the Forest Service. See Table 1, Seed Mixture.
> All sediment control structures such as waddles will remain in place until vegetation
success is achieved.
Seeding will be conducted by hydro- seeding or broadcast seeding using certified weed -free
species mixtures previously approved by the Forest Service and Colorado DRMS. See Table 1,
Seed Mixture. The ultimate species selection will be based on a Forest Service listing of
reclamation plants, seed availability and cost. Whenever possible, RGS will conduct seeding in
the late fall to take advantage of moisture availability.
