Actual Vegetation Present <br />The proposed clay pit site was visited in mid November of 1996 by Tony Puga <br />of the Natural Resources Conservation Service for the purposes of determining the <br />actual vegetation present. Attached is a copy of the vegetation inventory for the site <br />listed on form CO- ECS -2. The site was determined to be in fair condition from an <br />ecological standpoint. The plant community was determined to be approximately 76 <br />percent grasses, 14 percent forbs and 10 percent shrubs. The mean basal vegetation <br />density is estimated to be 20 to 25 percent. The current production is about 800 <br />pounds per acre air dry forage annually, with a potential varying from 700 to 1,100 <br />pounds depending on range site in excellent condition. <br />
