Obtain binders from a producer listed in Bulletin 15.

F. Water - Water shall be fresh and free from injurious amounts of oil, acid, alkali, salts, or other materials harmful to the growth of grass.

7.4 - PROCEDURE

Follow the procedures specified below. The amounts of seed, lime, fertilizer, and mulch specified are the minimum acceptable. The Game Commission may, at its own expense, test the soils to determine if any modifications to the seed and soil requirements are necessary. Employ such modifications if they are deemed necessary, at no additional cost to the Game Commission, and accept full responsibility for obtaining a satisfactory stand of grass.

A. Preparation of Seed Bed by Shallow Tilling - After the areas to be seeded have been graded and approved by the Game Commission, thoroughly till the surfaces to a depth of 3 inches by raking, harrowing, or other approved means. Apply fertilizer and lime at a rate of 680 lbs. and 4,000 lbs.

per acre respectively, and make sure that they are worked thoroughly into the soil to a depth of 3 inches and the tillage operations are sufficient to ensure that the soil conditions are satisfactory for seeding. Smooth and bring the area to grade. Immediately prior to sowing, rake the soil to a depth of 3/4 inch. Rake in a direction parallel to the contour lines on the slope, and not uphill or downhill. Remove all sticks, stones, weeds, roots, and other objectionable materials appearing on the surface. Maintain the surface in a true and even condition during sowing of seed. The seeded surface must be as smooth as the surrounding grassed area.

B. Sowing - Sow the seed mixture on a still day at a rate specified in Section 5.3A of these Technical Specifications. Sow by hand or by approved sowing equipment in 2 applications, one-half the seed while the seeder is traveling in one direction and the other half while the seeder is traveling at right angle to the first direction. After sowing, rake, cultipack, or brush drag the surface very lightly, just deep enough to cover the seeds. Rake only in a direction parallel to the contour lines.

You may use hydroseeding or grain drilling, provided all methods and equipment are approved by the Game Commission. In case of hydroseeding, you may apply fertilizer and lime at the time of sowing. In case of grain drilling, you may apply fertilizer at the time of sowing, provided the fertilizer does not come in contact with the seed. Drill only in a direction parallel to the contour lines.

Do not sow seed on frozen or partially frozen ground.

C. Mulching - After sowing is completed, spread mulch uniformly over the entire seeded area at a rate of 3 tons (dry weight) per acre. The mulch shall be moist at the time of placement.

Apply wood fiber mulch hydraulically in accordance with the manufacturer's tank-mixing instructions. Wood fiber mulch may be incorporated into the slurry after the seed and soil

TS-3-3

supplements have been thoroughly mixed. Apply wood fiber mulch at a rate of 800 lbs. per acre unless otherwise indicated by the manufacturer.

On slopes 6:1 or flatter, apply pellet mulch by hand or using a mechanical spreader immediately after seeding, at a rate of 2,615 Lbs. per acre. Thoroughly wet pellet mulch with water without dislodging mulch.

To prevent loss or bunching by wind and to form a soil-binding mulch, anchor the moist mulch to the soil with a mulch binder. Use mulch binders at the following rates:

Recycled Cellulose Fiber - 775 Lbs./Acre Wood Fiber - 775 Lbs./Acre Mixture of Recycled Cellulose Fiber and Wood Fiber - 775 Lbs./Acre Nonasphaltic Emulsion - Manufacturer's Recommended Rate

Polyvinyl Acetate - Manufacturer's Recommended Rate Tackifier Product – Manufacturer’s Recommended Rate

On slopes where machinery cannot be used, retain the mulch in place by some suitable means which will not be detrimental to subsequent operations.
