during 1987 include water milloil (Myriophyllum sibiricum), pondweed (Potomogeton <br />graminifolius) and horned pondweed (Zannichellia palustria). <br />A review of information contained in the SCS Montrose County Soil Survey and Attachment <br />2.04.10 -9, formerly Peabody Attachment 9 -5 was made to determine the appropriate range <br />sites applicable to the study area in order to determine the potential plant communities in the <br />farmstead, facilities, orchards, etc. type. One range site, Semidesert Loam, and one <br />woodland site, Pinyon- Juniper Woodland, apply to the New Horizon 2 study area for these <br />areas., The reviewer is directed to Map 2.04.9 -1 "Soil Types and Topsoil Salvage Depth" and <br />Attachment 2.04.10 -9, formerly Peabody Attachment 9 -5 contained in Tab 9 as support for this <br />discussion. Both the Pinyon- Juniper Site Description and the Semidesert Loam Range Site <br />are included in Attachment 2.04.10 -7, (formerly Peabody Appendix 10 -3). <br />6.0 Vegetation Baseline Sampling Results and Discussion - 1999 <br />In 2008, MRCS designated certain soils as prime farmland soils. This led to the redesignation <br />of Irrigated Pasture Hayland (IH) on the Morgan property being redesignated as Cropland - <br />Irrigated Hay (IC). Additionally, as of Permit Revision 06, an area of 25.06 acres on the <br />Burbridge property north of Pond 007 have been redesignated as Cropland - Small Grain <br />(ICSG) based on determinations made by DRMS. <br />6.1 Veoetation Distribution and Floristics - 1999 Vegetation types were determined on the <br />basis of plant composition and land use. Six vegetation types were recognized in the New <br />Horizon 2 baseline vegetation studies permit expansion area: sagebrush -1 (SG -1), <br />sagebrush -2 (SG -2) Swale /drainage (IPSW), irrigated pasture (IP), irrigated pasture hayland <br />(IPH), and miscellaneous types. Farmsteads, facilities (corrals, stockyards, haystacks), <br />orchards, ponds, roads and other (abandoned cropland, hayland and pastures, abandoned <br />buildings, etc.), were included in the miscellaneous category. The distribution of each type is <br />shown on Map 2.04.10. The total acreage of each type in the study area and proposed permit <br />area is shown in Table 2.04.10 -14. <br />The plant list resulting from the floristic surveys conducted with the study area was presented <br />in Attachment 2.04.10 -5 formerly Peabody Appendix 10 -1. It is reproduced and annotated as <br />Revised September 2010 (PR 06) 2.04.10 -54 <br />
