<br /> There are few existing NRI or 417 Inventories for this site. More field data collection is needed to support this site
<br /> concept.
<br /> Reference Sheet
<br /> Rangeland Health Reference Sheet carried over from previously "Approved" ESD (2004).
<br /> The current Reference Sheet was previously approved in 2007.
<br /> It will be updated at the next"Approved" level.
<br /> "Future work, as described in a project plan, to validate the information in this provisional ecological site description
<br /> is needed. This will include field activities to collect low and medium intensity sampling, soil correlations, and
<br /> analysis of that data. Annual field reviews should be done by soil scientists and vegetation specialists. A final field
<br /> review, peer review, quality control, and quality assurance reviews of the ESD will be needed to produce the final
<br /> document." (NI 430_306 ESI and ESD, April, 2015)

<br /> Inventory data references
<br /> Information presented here has been derived from NRCS clipping data, numerous ocular estimates and other
<br /> inventory data. Field observations from experienced range trained personnel were used extensively to develop this
<br /> ecological site description. Specific data information is contained in individual landowner/user case files and other
<br /> files located in county NRCS field offices.
<br /> Those involved in developing the 2004 site description include: Harvey Sprock, Rangeland Management Specialist,
<br /> CO-NRCS; Ben Berlinger, Rangeland Management Specialist, CO-NRCS; James Borchert, Soil Scientist, CO-
<br /> NRCS; Terri Skadeland, Biologist, CO-NRCS.
<br /> Other references
<br /> Data collection for this ecological site was done in conjunction with the progressive soil surveys within the 67B
<br /> Central High Plains (Southern Part)of Colorado. It has been mapped and correlated with soils in the following soil
<br /> surveys: Adams County, Arapahoe County, Baca County, Bent County, Boulder County, Cheyenne County, El Paso
<br /> County Area, Elbert County, Eastern Part, Kiowa County, Kit Carson County, Larimer County Area, Las Animas
<br /> County Area, Lincoln County, Logan County, Morgan County, Prowers County, Washington County, Weld County,
<br /> Northern Part, and Weld County, Southern Part.
