production in the Dryland Pasture BRB in 2018 and 2019. Production values collected in the Dryland <br /> Pasture Reference area in 2018 did not achieve sample adequacy,but a minimum of 30 quadrats were <br /> collected in accordance with Rule 4.15.11(2)(c). Sample adequacy was achieved in the Dryland Pasture <br /> Reference area for production in 2019. <br /> ERMR has requested phase III bond release on Dryland Pasture parcels DP-1, DP-2, DP-3, DP-4, <br /> DP-5, DP-6, DP-7, DP-8, and DP-9. Irrigated pasture parcels IP-1, IP-2, IP-3, IP-4, IP-5, and IP-7 <br /> were requested for Phase III bond release. Parcels IP-1, IP-2, and IP-3 are managed as one logical <br /> management unit(LMU). Parcels, IP-4, IP-5, and IP-7, are managed as one LMU. IP-7 was <br /> approved as an adjacent support area with TR89, and is used to store pipe, farming equipment and <br /> other support uses for the adjacent field. <br /> Vegetative cover measured on Irrigated Pasture BRB in 2018 was 95.1% live vegetative cover. <br /> Noxious weeds were not counted towards vegetation success and only measured 0.25%vegetative <br /> cover. Herbaceous cover on the Irrigated Pasture BRB was 1,811 pounds per acre desirable species <br /> (perennial grasses and perennial forbs). The Irrigated Pasture reference area 2018 vegetative cover <br /> was 8 8.3 5%. Herbaceous productivity on the Irrigated Pasture reference area in 2018 was 1,673 <br /> pounds per acre desirable species. The reclaimed Irrigated Pasture bond release block exceeded that <br /> of the Irrigated Pasture reference area for 2018. <br /> Vegetative cover measured on Irrigated Pasture BRB in 2019 was 90.15% live vegetative cover. <br /> Noxious weeds were not encountered during the 2019 cover sampling. Herbaceous cover on the <br /> Irrigated Pasture BRB was 2,010 pounds per acre desirable species (perennial grasses and perennial <br /> forbs). The Irrigated Pasture reference area 2019 vegetative cover was 78.15%. Herbaceous <br /> productivity on the Irrigated Pasture reference area in 2019 was 1,213 pounds per acre desirable <br /> species. The reclaimed Irrigated Pasture bond release block exceeded that of the Irrigated Pasture <br /> reference area for 2019. <br /> Dryland pasture <br /> Dryland Pasture bond release block(BRB) and Dryland Pasture (Old Peabody Sage Reference Area) <br /> were sampled for Phase III bond release in 2017 and 2018. Dryland Pasture Phase III BRB parcels <br /> were reclaimed between 2004 and 2007, and include DP-I, DP-2, DP-3, DP-4, DP-5, and DP-6. <br /> Vegetation sampling for cover and production was conducted in accordance with the approved <br /> methods. The 2017 and 2018 cover sampling of Dryland Pasture DP3 met sample adequacy. The <br /> Dryland Pasture reference area also met sample adequacy for cover in 2017 and 2018. Sample <br /> adequacy was achieved for Dryland Pasture DP3 parcel both in 2017 and 2018 for vegetative <br /> production. The Dryland Reference area did not meet sample adequacy for production either year, <br /> Permit Number C1981-008:SL22 Page 13 of 17 <br />
