Fire <br />is also critical, due to the overgrown condition and past fire suppression. <br />4. Seed mixes for soil protection and reclamation. <br />Mix A: For temporary seeding for stabilization ana protection of stockpiles and cropland: <br />Species, Variety Rate in Ibs /acre, Rate in Ibs /acre, <br />PLS, Broadcast PLS, Drilled <br />Annual oats, variety not specified 30 15 <br />TOTAL 30 15 <br />Seeding will be done annually for the life of the stockpile or temporary disturbed area, between 1 <br />April and 15 May. Alternative is to spread and crimp certified weed -free mulch at a rate of 2 tons <br />per acre, crimping to be done with a straight -set disc. Long -term stockpile areas will be seeded <br />as with permanent reclamation mix. No watering will be done; water is not available on the site. <br />This procedure is based upon recommendations by USDA -NRCS. <br />Iyllx D. rul d11rd5 wi llu l 111dy UU ubuu lul Y1 CLZ111 . <br />Species, Variety Rate in Ibs /acre, Rate in Ibs /acre, <br />PLS, Broadcast PLS, Drilled <br />Arizona fescue 2.6 1.3 <br />Western wheatgrass 8.0 4.0 <br />Mountain brome 9.6 4.8 <br />Slender wheatgrass 5.6 2.8 <br />TOTAL 25.8 12.9 <br />Seeding will be done in fall, between15 AUG until ground is frozen, or in spring, after ground <br />thaw and before 30 APR. <br />5. General instructions regarding seeding and care: <br />All seeding will be mulched with approximately 4000 Ibs.(per acres) of weed -free straw spread <br />and crimped into the seedbed to a depth of 4 inches, with tracked equipment or by hand. <br />For drilling, a grass drill with depth bands and press wheels to a planting depth of to 1 inch <br />will be used. Unless irrigated (not planned), seeding will be during the period from 15 October <br />to 15 December (late fall), but depending on weather conditions, may be done as late as 30 <br />April (when free of frost). If irrigation is intended for at least the first full growing season, <br />planting will be done between April and August at the end of mining and reclamation operations <br />for the year for the particular piece of land being reclaimed. <br />
