- Orchards have been re- classified as Cropland - irrigated orchards (Map symbol ICO) <br />- Croplands have been re- classified as Croplands - irrigated alfalfa hay (Map symbol IC) <br />- Small grain croplands have been given a classification as Croplands - Small Grains (Map <br />symbol ICSG) <br />- Irrigated Hayland has been re- classified as Irrigated Pasture - Hayland (Map symbol IPH) <br />since the management of these areas did not qualify these areas to meet the intensity required <br />for classification as Irrigated Cropland in addition to soils that are not optimum. <br />- Irrigated Pasture (Map symbol IP) has not changed. <br />- Sagebrush (Map symbol SG) has not changed. It is a sub category under Rangeland. <br />- Sagebrush 1 (Map symbol SG -1) has not changed. It is a sub category under Rangeland. <br />- Sagebrush 2 (Map symbol SG -2) has not changed. It is a sub category under Rangeland. <br />- Floodplain (Map symbol FP) has not changed. It is a sub category under Rangeland. <br />- Deciduous Trees (Map symbol DT) has not changed. It is a sub category under Rangeland. <br />- Farmsteads (Map symbol F) has not changed. It is a sub category under Residential Use. <br />- Existing Disturbed lands have now been called Residential - Open Space Disturbed Areas <br />(Map symbol D) <br />No boundaries of these land use areas have been changed; only the classification categories <br />to comply with Rule 1.04. Map 2.04.10 also has the aerial photography from 1998, where <br />mining was active southeast of the intersection of 2700 Road and BB Road, near Pond 007. <br />This aerial shows details of much of the pre -mine land use and vegetation. The categories <br />shown Map 2.04. 10 are the same as those shown on Map 2.04.3 Pre -Mine Land Use. <br />One area of former Irrigated Hayland should be classified as Irrigated Cropland on the Morgan <br />property due to consistent baling of hay and good soils. Map 2.04.3 Pre -Mine Land Use has <br />been altered to reflect the more accurate characterization of the ICSG land. <br />The natural vegetation occurring in the Nucla area has been described by Kuchler (1964) as <br />the Juniper- Pinyon Woodland Type and the Great Basin Sagebrush Type, while Brown, et al. <br />(1980) classified the natural vegetation communities as the Pinyon- Juniper Series of the Great <br />Basin Conifer Woodland Biome and the Sagebrush Series of the Great Basin Desertscrub <br />Biome. While these natural vegetation types are obvious in the surrounding undisturbed <br />native rangelands, over 100 years of intensive agriculture on First Park has resulted in only <br />August 2013 (PR 08) 2.04.10 -7 <br />
