SUMMARY: <br />• The vegetation of the site is primarily composed of two units, the <br />natural areas and the disturbed areas. The natural areas tend to have a <br />low diversity vegetation dominated by Blue Brama on most areas and Big <br />Hluestem and Sand Bluestem on other areas. <br />The disturbed areas range from mining areas where no vegetation <br />occurs to piles of waste and soil where weeds are especially abundant <br />and only a few invading grasses can be found to an old field area where <br />dominance is by weeds but invasion by natives from surrounding areas is <br />occurring. <br />Revegetation should capitalize on the capability of weeds to <br />protect the site from wind erosion while permitting the desirable <br />species to grow in among the weeds. However, close monitoring of the <br />desirable species should be done to insure that weeds do not excessively <br />hinder the growth. If such occurs then a mild weed control program <br />should be implemented to reduce the weed growth but not eliminate it. <br /> <br />F'AGE 6 OF 6 - EXHIBIT ~ <br />
