SUPPORT FACILITIES <br />No problems were found in the facilities area. <br />TOPSOIL <br />I checked topsoil depths with a shovel at two locations where topsotl has been recently laid down in <br />the north portion of the Bud Benson property. Depths were greater than 1 foot. Depths were also <br />greater than 1 ft along the leading edge of the laydown area (see Figure 2). <br />_ ,... tiir <br />--y _ Y 1 <br />• _ ,' ; <br />h4~'` <br />r <br />_ _ !3 <br />~ _ ~~ YY <br />~ ~ w`}`j"C?1 <br />L- r <br />~~ <br />_ .- ,ter <br />R ~l\'- -2 4 - _ <br />Figuro 2 -Leading edge of topsoil laydown area. <br />REVEGETATION <br />We walked through the reference area near the airport. The reference area appears to have not been <br />grazed, mowed. or irrigated (see Figure 3) It has mature herbaceous and shrub cover Woody <br />shrubs appear much more abundant in the reference area than in the dryland hay fields of the <br />reclaimed Rice tract (which wtll be compared to the reference area) We discussed the possibility of <br />moving the boundanes of the reference area approximately 150 ft eastward to get away from a fence <br />on the west side where shrubs are espeaally dense This move would appear to provide a more valid <br />comparison with the reclaimed hay fields because shrubs were not in the approved seed mix of the <br />hay fields <br />
