One wetland area was documented along the riparian corridor northwest of the Lafarge Brown <br />property (Figure J-2). The banks of the river in this area are riprapped and channelized in some <br />areas, especially the north bank. The corridor is dominated by cottonwoods, some of which are <br />mature and approximately 60 feet in height. The riparian corridor has a sparse understory, which is <br />mainly composed of coyote willow. <br />Relationship of Present Vegetation to Soil Types <br />The U.S. Department of Agriculture - Natural Resources Conservation Service's (USDA-NRCS) <br />Web Soil Survey was used to identify soils at the site, and to provide details about the soils. Figure <br />J-3 displays the soil in the vicinity of the Lafarge Brown property. The soil map units and their <br />relationship with the land use/vegetation types in the vicinity of the Project Area are summarized in <br />Table J-3. <br />Table J-3.
