And again, a copy of the 1985 Soil Conservation Service report is included for review. The vegetation map was prepared from air photos and named with the type of vegetation present in those areas. Minimal site visitation was done so the information is not site specific.The typical vegetation information in the report is used to define the vegetation areas. Map Exhibit J-1 Vegetation shows the location of the following described areas. The Grass area is mostly on flatter areas associated with open grassland areas on the site and is covered with soil type AV. The vegetation in this area is dominated by grasses with very little trees, with 80% grass, 10%shrubs and brush, and 5% cacti. The Canyon area is mostly in the steeper draws and canyons associated with the drainages that cross the site and is covered with soil type TsD. The vegetation in this area is dominated by grasses, however, some trees are present. The vegetation makeup in these areas is 93%grass and 7%trees and shrubs.
