4r_ <br /> Photo 9: Area 22 North of gas well pad Photo 10: Cottonwoods in Area 22 <br /> Area 22: Area 22 was seeded in 1985 and is generally evaluated with area 20. Area 22 has also been impacted by gas well <br /> development. The vegetative cover is good, and is visually dominated by smooth brome and blue grama, with prickly pear <br /> cacti present throughout the parcel. (Photo 9) A small patch of volunteer Cottonwood trees have become established in this <br /> parcel (Photo 10). Tamarisk in this tree clump were previously managed and effectively killed with no re-sprouting evident. <br /> Photo 11: Area 14, looking north Photo 12: Area 8, looking east <br /> Area 14: Area 14 is a small, 1.73 acre parcel located at the western extent of reclaimed Pit A. This parcel was seeded in <br /> 1997 and gently slopes to the north. The vegetative cover is very good with visually dominant species consisting of <br /> Wheatgrasses, Smooth brome,Wild rye, and blue grams. (Photo 11) <br /> Area 8: Area 8 is located at the eastern side of the reclaimed Pit A. This 8.06 acre parcel was seeded in 1995. Vegetation <br /> is very healthy and exhibits very good cover. Visually dominant species include Smooth brume, Wheatgrasses, Indian <br /> ricegrass,and prickly pear cacti.Two relatively small bare patches were noted,both approximately 5-6 ft. in diameter. <br /> These patches were riddled with small rodent holes. These patches were apparently wildlife caused due to the burrowing <br /> disturbance. Both were of very limited extent,and the eastern patch had annual forbs growing on it. No erosion was noted <br /> around these two bare patches. (Photo 12) <br /> Page_6_of_9_Pages,(date) 5118I2009(Initials) 'hb <br />
