bed preparation, including but not limited to ripping, disking, harrowing, and will be seeded with <br />a suitable rangeland seed mixture. The seed will be either drilled or hand broadcasted as <br />appropriate. If broadcast, it will be covered by hand raking or by harrow methods. Experience <br />shows that covering of the seed results in a higher number of sprouts per pound of seed sowed. <br />The seed mix will be sowed at a rate of no less than 10 pounds per acre, or per supplier's <br />recommendations. In areas with steep hillsides, reclamation mats or netting might also be used <br />to assist vegetation if necessary. Seed will be applied in early spring or late fall to maximize the <br />germination rate and to increase the success of the revegetation. A typical seed mixture for <br />grasses, forbes and shrubs is shown below. At the time closure occurs, it is possible that the list <br />might be updated to include other grass species better suited to the specific area, and the final <br />reclamation methods will be updated to include those recommended species. Use of fertilizers is <br />not anticipated to be necessary to obtain reclamation objectives. <br />TYPICAL RECLAMATION SEED MIXTURE FOR CRIPPLE CREEK AREA <br />Grasses <br />Parry's Oatgrass <br />Slender wheatgrass <br />Pubescent wheatgrass <br />Sheep fescue <br />Timothy <br />Mountain brome <br />Canada bluegrass <br />Idaho fescue <br />Danthonia paryi <br />Elymus trachycaulus ssp.
