_ -VEGETATION INFORMATION <br /> Exhibit J <br /> Vegetation Information <br /> Exhibit C-113 is the vegetation map for the site. The map shows the wide variety of <br /> vegetation units found on and around the site. This high diversity of vegetation units is indicative of <br /> the diverse habitats found on the upper portions of Table Mountain. <br /> The vegetation like the soils falls into two primary categories - the natural and the non- <br /> reclaimed disturbed vegetation areas. Most of the area is occupied by the natural vegetation. <br /> The vegetation found on the permit area falls within Land Resource Area 49, as defined by <br /> the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS - formerly the SCS). This is a cobbly foothill <br /> range site. The site is indicative of a transitional zone between foothill and mountain sites. Presence <br /> of ponderosa pine, spruce, gambel oak and certain grasses give evidence of a transitional zone, but <br /> also geology, climatic conditions and topography are factors that may influence the transitional <br /> environment. <br /> Natural Vegetation - <br /> The natural vegetation that once existed on the mined area is only partly known. In the soil <br /> information (Exhibit I) it is pointed out that in all probability the original soils in the areas mined <br /> were similar to the surrounding areas. These soils were a combination of the rocky soils that <br /> support forest and clay loam soils that support grass with little or no tree growth. <br /> List of Natural Vegetation Species <br /> 1. Pinyon Pine Pinus edulis <br /> 2. Ponderosa Pine P. ponderosa <br /> 3. Juniper Juniperus mexicana <br /> 4. Gambel Oak Quercus gambelii <br /> 5. Gooseberry Ribes inerme <br /> 6. Mountain mahogany Cercocarpus montanus <br /> 7. Indian ricegrass Oryzopsis hymenoides <br /> 8. Western wheatgrass Agropyron smithii <br /> 9. Crested wheatgrass A. cristatum <br /> 10. Blue grams Bouteloua gracilis <br /> 11. Squirreltail Sitanion hystrix <br /> 12. Little Bluestein Andropogon scoparius <br /> 13. Fringed sage Artemisia frigida <br /> 14. Prairie sage A. ludoviciana <br /> 15. Sideoats grama Bouteloua curtipendula <br /> These species probably occurred over the entire area at one time. Where soils were <br /> shallower it is probable that the composition included only pinyon pine and mountain mahogany <br /> and the grasses were much more sparse, but the sages were probably not common. <br /> Table Mountain Quarry - Castle Concrete Company Exhibit J Page J-1 <br />
