Exhibit H WILDLIFE INFORMATION <br /> No change . <br /> Exhibit I SOILS <br /> The soils found on the new area is described in the follow- <br /> ing document supplied by the NRCS Web Soil Survey match those <br /> found in the 2000 report from the Sterling Field Office and are <br /> consistent with those described in the original application text . <br /> The new area has Alda loam (3) and Fluvaquents (29) soils on it <br /> as described on the Soils section on page 28 (1976) of the original <br /> application. <br /> It is important to remember that this site was once part of <br /> an old feed lot so little topsoil exists . The NRCS reports <br /> indicates there is an average of 5 inches of soil available, our <br /> own observations indicate there is from 0 to 5 inches with there <br /> being no topsoil in the south east quadrant of the site where the <br /> old concrete was piled. Using an average of 3 . 5 inches salvage- <br /> able it may be possible to salvage enough soil to replace it on <br /> the above water areas at a rate of 6 inches + as committed to in <br /> the original plan. <br /> An updates Soils Map and supporting data was downloaded from <br /> the NRCS site and is provided in this application packet for the <br /> Divisions review. <br /> Exhibit J VEGETATION <br /> The newly added area on the south is vacant and the <br /> northern parcels have been used as Asphalt and Concrete Batch <br /> Plants sites for many years . There is no vegetation on these <br /> areas of any value . The vegetation growing on the south end is <br /> of very low quality consisting mostly of weeds and Sandreed <br /> grass . The narrative on page 31 (1976) has been supplemented with <br /> the site specific information prepared by the NRCS in March 2000 . <br /> The descriptions in the original application apply to the new <br /> areas as well . <br /> 16 <br />
