BROWNSTONE 2015 — STATE EXHIBIT I <br />The soil in the amendment area is varied from a natural rocky outcrop on the West side, a clay and <br />stone rubble slope from the Windsor Reservoir Canal construction and road from the early 1900's on the <br />East and 2' to 3' of topsoil and stone between the two. <br />On the West side the Brownstone outcrop has scattered areas of thin topsoil which is sufficient to <br />support short Wheatgrasses in spots. The slope of clay and stone on the East has had sufficient time to <br />support sage brush and a variety of grasses. The central undisturbed section has thin natural topsoil of <br />2" to 3" and supports native grass, rabbit brush and sage brush. Some Cottonwood trees are in the <br />central section closer to the south border with some Cottonwood and Chinese Elm scattered along the <br />natural drainage running from north to south. No grazing occurs in this area as this was the original <br />house, loafing shed and corrals of the owner. Grazing will certainly be good in the amendment area <br />once the reclamation vegetation is established. <br />
