<br /> <br /> EXHIBIT J <br /> Vegetation Information <br /> <br /> STRONG FARM #2 <br />1 Essentially all of the land surface of the affected area has been <br />1 disturbed and very little original vegetation remains. <br /> There is no vegetative cover at all on about half of the area. The <br /> remainder has a fairly uniform cover of approximately 30%. Of this, one <br /> quarter is native grasses and the rest is russian thistle and kocia <br />' d <br /> . <br />wee <br />' The native vegetation on these soils is dominated by alkali sacaton, <br /> switchgrass and western wheatgrass. Saltgrass, sedge, rush and alkali <br /> bluegrass are also prominent. Potential production ranges from 3,000 <br /> pounds per acre in favorable years to 2,000 pounds per acre in unfavorable <br />( years. As range conditions deteriorate, switchgrass, alkali sacaton and <br /> western wheatgrass decrease and saltgrass, sedge and rush increase. <br /> Please refer to the attached letter from the USDA Soil Conservation <br /> Service which contains information on present vegetation and potential <br /> vegetation on the area, including specific recommendations for reseeding. <br />i <br />1 <br />1 <br />1 <br />L <br />t <br /> <br />I ?
