Under the heading of PHASING: We would recommend the seeding be done after December 15th and before April 15th. The plan calls for warm and cool season species of grass to be planted. The wheatgrasses are cool season. If planted in fall, they could germinate and die if a warm fall is encountered. The grass needs r---- four leaves to survive the winter. mow,: T`y 2. Under the heading of MONITORING: (a) Specify four strands of _ ,,,_� barbed wire attached to posts not spaced greater than 20 feet apart. (b) Strike out the word "service" in the last sentence. TABLE I The pounds of seed per acre should be specified in pounds of pure live seed per acre. The amount of seed per acre is high for the conditions they will be planted under. There should be no more than 20 pure live seeds planted per square foot to insure a good stand. The table should be set up for the amount of each seed when planted alone. If planted in equal proportions, then one-eighth of each amount of seed should be planted as suggested in the following table. �e ,f' .. i- v •'467 ...'.:..F," ✓r 6J��' Itlw 'ys+�'�7i!kaf REVISED TABLE I LBS OF P.L.S.

It is not found in the plant community of the area. 3. Application method for Western Wheatgrass should be listed as drilling. ux 4. It would be better if the mixture would be used in stabilizingPIPPONOMIOW 1...... the road instead of straight Prairie Sandreed as indicated in reirmr >w , the plan. Also I would recommend that the seed be placed 1/2 e. �.., .,. to 3/4 inch deep and packed with a packer. There are grass '•"` " drills available that can be rented to place the seed at a proper depth. ,� BY: F.

It was in regards to the letter dated June 28, 1977 to the Planning Commission asking for comments on the revegetation of the test site. He stated the changes are being made in accordance with the letter. The grass seeding rates will be higher than those suggested in the 1. #; letter but these recommendations were for the minimum requirements and the plan is to go for the maximum amount of seed required. Otherwise they have adopted the recommendations fully. If further information is required, please let me know. - F.
