B-6 <br /> grasslands containing patches of sagebrush and a significant amount of bare ground (30 to 70 percent). <br /> Shrub cover ranged from 0 to 30 percent cover. Sample points 1 —4 were located within this grazed upland <br /> habitat. Sample Point SP-3 most closely corresponds to the location of the Permit Area, as it is located <br /> approximately 1,200 ft. to the northeast and within the SW1/4 of Section 12. <br /> The landscape generally appears as a relatively homogenous landscape. However, one drainage (Ennis <br /> Draw) runs along the east edge of Section 12, approximately 3/4-mile to the east of the Permit Area. <br /> Vegetation within portions of this drainage, especially those areas containing ponded water and saturated <br /> soils,was distinctly different from the surrounding upland areas and was documented by sample point W I. <br /> Wetlands were documented within Ennis Draw at sample point W-1, and are depicted on the aerial base <br /> map provided in Attachment B-1. A summary of the vegetation species identified at each sample point is <br /> provided in Table B-1: Vegetation Species at Each Sample Point. Root depth at each sample point was <br /> approximately six inches deep. <br /> TABLE B-1: VEGETATION SPECIES AT EACH SAMPLE POINT <br /> Sample Point <br /> Species 1 2 3 4 W 1 <br /> Shrub Stratum <br /> Sand sagebrush (Oligosporus filifolius) • • <br /> Twistspine prickly pear(Opuntia <br /> macrorhiza) • <br /> Herb Stratum <br /> Blue grama grass(Condrosum gracile) • <br /> Water sedge (Carex aquatilis) • <br /> Cheatgrass(Bromus tectorum) • • • • <br /> Intermediate wheatgrass(Thinopyrum <br /> • <br /> intermedium) <br /> Western wheatgrass(Pascopyrum smithii) • • <br /> Little bluestem (Schizachyrium scoparium) • <br /> Saltgrass(Distichlis spicata) • • <br /> Indian ricegrass(Oryzopsis hymenoides) • • <br /> Additional information for each sample point can be found on the sample point data forms contained in <br /> Attachment B-1 (Appendix B,thereof). <br /> From the foregoing, it can be seen that the primary vegetation species observed to be present at and around <br /> the Permit Area are comprised of cheat grass, wheatgrass, salt grass, and Indian ricegrass,typical of areas <br /> within the region which have been subjected to many years of livestock grazing. <br /> Keenesburg Project—Limited Impact 110 Application_May 24,2019 <br />
