The condition of the approximately 62,000 <br />acres of range can be improved through the application of proper <br />range management techniques. The 13,000 acres of grazeable <br />woodland provide an opportunity to apply proper woodland grazing. <br />The 1,300 acres of pasture and hayland can benefit from the <br />application of pasture and hay land management techniques. There <br />are many sites needing sediment basins along the 177 miles of <br />gullies in the watershed. There are also many areas where <br />diversions would be beneficial. There are also ample <br />opportunities to do critical area plantings to slow the erosion <br />along gullies and on structural embankments. <br /> <br />15 <br /> <br />
