TEMPORARY COVER: <br />Temporary Seed to provide soil stabilization by planting presses <br />and legumes to areas. which would remain bars for more then <br />7 days where permanent cover to not necessary or appropriate. <br />A minimum of 2 - 4 inches of tilled topsoil is required for the seedbed. <br />Planting should preferably be done between April i and June 30. <br />and Sept. i through ,Dct. 31. it planting is done between NOV. i and <br />March 31, mulching $hall be required Immediately after planting. <br />The seed mix of redtop f0 . annual rye (402)..chewings fescue (40Z). <br />Countyito approvelsited mix). ehHydro-seeding s applicatioonnshwith <br />approved seed -mulching -fertilizer mixtures may also be used. the <br />soil cover methods listed under 'cover during winter conditions' <br />may also be used as temporary cover at any time. <br />MULCHING: <br />Protect disturbed slopes by mulching 12' - s' thickness). This <br />can be done before or after permanent seeding. The types <br />of mulches oveileule are described below (token from e <br />O.O.E. manual): <br />STRAW - most commonly used in conjunction with seeding. Its <br />use is recommended where immediate protection Is required <br />and preferable where the need for protection will be less <br />than 3 months. The Strew should can from wheat or oats, and <br />may be spread by hand or machine. Straw can be windblown <br />end mist be anchored down (rc,'ling or VpUnching into soil, <br />coverir.g with netting, spreyiug tackifior). <br />CORN STALKS - theme should be shredded into 4 to 6-inch lengths. <br />Stalks decompose slowly and are resistant to windblow. <br />MOOD CHIPS/b-rk chips - suitable for areas that will.not be <br />closely muwed, and around ornamental planting$. Chip$ <br />decompose siawly'and do not require tacking. Mood chips must <br />be treated with 12 pounds nitrogen per ton to prevent nutrient <br />deficiency in plants (not necessary for bark. Mood and bark <br />chips tend to wash down slopes of more than 6 percent and <br />create problems by cloppping inlet pprates, etc. and are <br />therefore not recommended for use in those areas. <br />MOOD FIBER - used in hydro -seeding operations. applied as part <br />of the slurry. This form of mulch does not provide sufficient <br />protection to erodible moil@ to be used alone during the hoot <br />of summer or for late fall seeding$. Mood fiber hydro -seed <br />slurries soy be used to tack straw mulch. This combination <br />treatment is well suited for steep slopes and critical areas. <br />NETS and MATS - used,elwm netting dose not retain soil i. : <br />moisture or modify soil temperature. It stabilizes the goal <br />surface while grasses are being established. and is useful in <br />grassed waterways and on slopes. Light netting gel also be <br />used to hold other mulches in place. Its relatively high cost <br />makes it post suitable for smell sites. <br />MAINTENANCE OF SILTATION BARRIERS: <br />Siltation barriers shell be inspected immediately a <br />and at least daily during prolonyed rainfall. Close <br />ppaid to the repair of damaged bAles. znd runt and u <br />trales. Necessary repairs to barriers or replacemen <br />accomplished promptly. Sediment deposits should be <br />each rainfall. Thew must be removed when the level <br />reaches approximately one-half :he height of the be <br />deposits remaining in place after the straw bale be <br />required shall be dressed to conform to the existin <br />and seeded. <br />rainfall <br />shell be <br />g beneath <br />$hall be <br />f deposition <br />ier.
