Mike Boulay -23- April 11, 2011 <br />amend the narrative in Exhibit 5. However, since the DRMS is of the opinion that <br />Alkali Seepweed was observed on this site, we have added this species to the <br />revised plant species list as a species that was observed as present on this site, <br />please see revised Table 1. <br />31. In the third paragraph of page 8, Exhibit 5, the relative cover of greasewood is <br />listed as 7.12%. This would appear to be an error, and presumably should be <br />37.95%. Please correct the error. <br />CAM: Please see the revised third paragraph on page 11. <br />32. The reference to "15" shrub density belt transects under "Shrub Density', on page <br />. 8, Exhibit 5 is an apparent error, and should be "25". Please correct the error. <br />CAM: "15" was changed to "25". Please see revised page 11 of Exhibit 5. <br />33. Under the "Irrigated Wetland" heading on page 9 of Exhibit 5, near the end of the <br />first paragraph, the fact that a very limited extent of disturbance would occur to the <br />irrigated wetland type is referenced, but it is stated that "the actual amount of <br />disturbance planned for this type is currently unknown...". Based on the rail <br />corridor as depicted on Map 3, it appears that planned cumulative disturbance to <br />the Irrigated Wetland type would be limited to approximately 0.5 acres or less. <br />Please update the subject narrative to accurately reflect the planned extent <br />of disturbance to the type. Also, given the very limited disturbance to this <br />community type, it would be appropriate that it be addressed within Exhibit 5 <br />under "Description of Minor Predisturbance Area Vegetation Types", rather <br />than "Major Predisturbance Area Vegetation Types". <br />CAM: Page 12 has been revised to show approximate planned disturbance to the <br />Irrigated Wetland vegetation type. <br />34. There is a typographical error in the second paragraph under "Greasewood <br />Vegetation Type" on page 15 of Exhibit 5; "1664" should be 1.664". Please <br />correct the typo. <br />CAM: Please see revised text on page 18 of Exhibit 5. "1664" has been <br />changed to "1.664". <br />35. The paragraph on page 16 of Exhibit 5 that states "disturbance corresponding to <br />the Wetland-will be reclaimed to the revegetation success standards for plant <br />cover and total herbaceous forage production obtained from the Greasewood <br />reference area", would seem to more accurately be written as "disturbance ...will <br />be included within the reclaimed area sample universe for comparison to the <br />revegetation success standards...". Please amend as warranted for clarity.
