Percentage may total as much as values given. <br />The ground is sparsely covered and razely exceeds 15 to 20 percent. The total annual <br />production is estimated to be about350 pounds per acre, air-dry for the average <br />moisture yeaz <br />c These include biscuitroot, scazlet globemallow, sego lily, woody aster, phlox, <br />buckwheat, loco, spiny hoursebrush, low Douglas rabbitbush, snakeweed, wild onion, <br />primrose, poisonvetches, prince's plume. <br />The area within the permit boundary and most immediately adjacent land has been cultivated <br />for many years. The most recent crop of the affected azea is alfalfa hay. The pit site has been visited <br />by the staff of the Soil Conservation District (SCD) for the purpose of determining the vegetation <br />present. Attached is a copy of the information received from the SCD. Subsequent discussions were <br />held with the agency to obtain information about the ground cover and relative percentages of the <br />vegetation present. John Murray of the agency indicated that the overall vegetation basal density <br />was estimated to be about 70 percent.
