Completion Form

2015

Overall, this project went as planned and was successful.  The Participation Agreement between the Forest Service and the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources (UDWR)  was completed in a timely manner under a master agreement.  The collaboration and partnership with the UDWR during planning and implementation of this project was efficient.  The habitat/wildlife biologists with the UDWR were both highly supportive and helpful during the planning stage as these burn areas are in critical summer range for wildlife and near riparian areas.   There were a few changes to the seed mix and aerial contract funding in the latter stages because of expected fluctuating seed costs etc, although the overall amount of funding for this project stayed the same.  The morning of December 4 was cloudy with some drizzly rain.  The contractor waited until mid afternoon when the weather broke to broadcast the seed safely and effectively.  There was very little wind,  so the seed coverage was excellent on project site.
