Likewise, <br />sample 20 occurred in an area that receives some benefit from a ground water seep, as well <br />as the normal application of irrigation water. A summary of the individual production plot data <br />is presented in Attachment 2.04.10 -6 (formerly Peabody Appendix 10 -2 (Table 2 -2)). <br />The irrigated pasture type contains incidental woody species at varying densities based on the <br />level of management or maintenance applied to these pastures. All woody plants are invaders <br />in the irrigated pasture type. Some operators periodically grub out the woody plants, while <br />others allow their continued existence. The actual densities observed in the field were low, a <br />fact borne out by the lack of woody plants present in the cover samples (Attachment 2.04.10 -6, <br />formerly Peabody Appendix 10 -2, Table 2 -1). Therefore, an estimate of woody plant density <br />was made by directly counting individuals from stereo color aerial photographs (1" = 500' <br />scale) flown in June 1987. Field checks for verification were made in mid - September 1987. <br />As shown in Table 2.04.10 -7, the stem density averaged a low six per acre, comprised of the <br />five species listed. The total estimate for the type was 947 trees. <br />Revised September 2010 (PR 06) 2.04.10 -31 <br />
