brush plants are scattered throughout the area with the occasional clutnp of Indian ricegrass. <br />Vegetative cover in these previously mined azeas is very sparse, approximately 500 lbs./acre. <br />In the pinon juniper woodland area of 0.5 acres, pinon pine and one-seeded juniper are <br />dominant.
