Q1. Are there any roads cutting through seeding area? If so, are there any maps available showing these roads?
A1. Roads exist but are not accessible during the winter
Q2. Will the purple road be able to be accessed during the time of application? (see attached image)
A2. The purple road is there but it won't be accessible during winter.
Q3. What seed mix will you be providing?
A3. The BLM will provide the seed pre mixed in 50lbs bags. The seed comes from the BLM warehouse.
Q4. Can drones be used to apply seed?
A4. Drones may be used to apply the seed but we don't know if there are drones big enough to complete the project.
Q5. What type of seed are we to appy?
A5. The seed is native grasses and forbes premixed in 50 lbs bags.
Q6. We would like to send a representative to look at the project area. Do you have any idea how the access to the unit is now weather-wise?
A6. Currently you can access the area with a UTV or a 4X4 truck. There is about six inches of snow out there. With all the lodgepole, you can only seed the area with aircraft. Last year we had questions about a UTV, and there is no way any ground based vehicle can seed the project with snow on the ground and maneuver around all the dead trees and downed logs.
