~J <br />U <br />See the above discussion. <br />• (2) No response required. <br />2.04.9 <br />(1)(c) A soils map or enlarged aerial photo of the same scale as the permit area map shall <br />be provided. <br />(1)(d) A narrative or table shall be provided which addresses the suitability of each major <br />soil horizon as a plant growth media based on its physical and chemical <br />characteristics. <br />from pasture plantings of nonirrigated grasses in spring, late in summer, and <br />in fall to protect the soil from erosion and to provide grazing for livestock. <br />Good pasture management must be practiced to maintain the grasses. <br />Crested wheatgrass, pubescent wheatgrass, and smooth brome are adapted <br />species. <br />The potential plant community on this soil consists of wheatgrasses, <br />bluegrasses, and needlegrasses. As range condition deteriorates, <br />wheatgrasses and needlegrasses decrease, fortis and woody shrubs <br />increase, and undesirable weeds and annual plants invade and become <br />more abundant. <br />This soil is used for winter range by mule deer and elk. Some important <br />plant species which can be managed for optimum production are bitterbrush, <br />mountainmahogany, Gambel oak, serviceberry, and elk sedge. <br />Berry-producing shrubs are an important habitat element of black bear. This <br />soil provides habitat for Merriam turkey, blue grouse, and band-tailed pigeon. <br />In favorable years mature Gambel oaks produce acorns, which are used by <br />Merriam turkey. <br />A Soils Map (Map 4) is presented in Volume II Maps. <br />See the above discussion and the information presented in Exhibit 7. <br />(1)(e) A discussion of present and potential productivity of the soils. <br />PR-06 <br />I1 ~fROV E~ <br />/~15~o"Z <br />2.04 -62 - <br />8/05 <br />
