Yellow sweet clover, sunflowers, kochia make up the majority of the <br />annual weeds. Wheatgrasses, brome, vetch, and alfalfa make up the majority of the grass <br />and forb plants at this time. Shrub transplant mortality is estimated as low at this time. <br />Some disruption of the rabbit guards on many of the transplants would indicate grazing <br />activity, likely by elk or deer. Transplant species identified include ponderosa pine, cedar, <br />skunk bush sumac, and mountain mahogany, in compliance with the approved plan. Areas <br />where transplants were observed are in compliance with the approved transplant locations <br />as shown on Map 33, Southfield Reclamation Plan. <br />4 <br />tivdroloaic Balance <br />Pond 5 was holding a small amount of water in the bottom. The primary spillway appeared in <br />good condition. Pond 4 was holding a similar amount of water. Its embankment appeared <br />normal with no problems observed. Silt fence was observed and appeared to be functioning <br />as designed east of Pond 4 and at the Monarch fan reclaimed area. <br />
