EXHIBIT J <br />VEGETATION INFORMATION <br />The vegetation in the area of the proposed quarry site <br />consists of oak brush, annual weeds and forbs, pinyon/juniper, high <br />elevation grasses and mountain shrub types. See Soil Conservation <br />report at Attachment #1 which was prepared for the proposed <br />quarry site following an on-site investigation conducted on <br />September 9, 1982. <br />Oakbrush and pinyon/juniper are the most widespread <br />vegetation type, existing over the specific area of the proposed <br />quarry. The understory is characteristically sparse, consisting <br />mainly of weeds, and a variety of grasses. <br />Approximately 65% of this south-sloping area is totally <br />devoid of vegetation as a result of the high evapotranspiration <br />rate of southern exposures and the low water-holding capacity of <br />the steep limestone outcrop. <br />No endangered and threatened plant species are present <br />in the area. <br />
