Preferred seeding method is mudtiple seed bin rangeland drill with no soul preparation other than
simple grading to slope and imprinting and waterhaus where applicable.
Alternative seeding methods ine ride but are not limited to:
• harrow with just enough soil moisture to create a rough surface, broadcast seed and re- harrow,
preferably at a 90 degree oxgle to the first Barrow;
• hydro -seeding (Most economical in terms of seed cast); and
• hand raking and broadcast, allowed by re -raking at a .90 degree angle to the first raking.
These are not the only means of replanting the site. However, these methods have been observed to
be effective in similar landscapes.
A copy of the revegetation security permit bond is provided in Attachment 6. The original will be
forwarded to the County upon receipt.
15.Weed Management Plan. A weed management plan for all Garfield County listed

remove potential weed seeds.
•
Minimize swirl disturbance to reduce areas of potential noxious weeds. Equipment and project
'heelers will be confined to the flagged project right-of-way to minimize excess soil disturbance.
• Salvage and segregate topsoil, then redistribute to reclaim the right-of-way.
• Disturbances will be kept to a nninintwn
• Establish native grasses andjarbs.
• Eradicate weed introductions early through the uses of herbici4ks. Herbicides will only be
«palied by personnel that are licensed by the State of Colorado to use and apply herbicides.
