Vegetation con- <br />sists mostly of annuals such as kochia, cheat grass, and sunflowers. Same <br />perennial grasses (smooth brome and tall wheatgrass) can be found in small <br />areas. The present vegetative cover is still less than 57 but will in- <br />crease as annuals germinate this spring and stmmmer. However, these annuals <br />are not effective in minimizing taind and y~ater erosion. <br />Should you have any further questions, please Eeel free to call. <br />Sincerely, <br />~i <br />Jeff Burwell, llistrict Coservationist <br />Soil Conservation Service <br />Brighton, CO <br />0 <br />
