EXHIBIT 5 <br />IRRIGATED PASTURE <br />Located within the actively irrigated areas in the extreme western portion of the proposed <br />Loadout Permit Area are two small areas which correspond to the Irrigated Pasture vegetation <br />type. Since this vegetation type occurs in locations which will not be affected by the proposed <br />disturbance they are not sampled in the vegetation sampling effort. Vegetatively these areas <br />are very similar to the Irrigated Wetland vegetation type which was sampled. <br />The total area of the Irrigated Pasture vegetation type as shown on Map 3, Permit Area <br />Vegetation Map, is 0.18 acres in size and this type equals 0.01 percent of the proposed loadout <br />permit area. Very limited disturbance, consisting of a proposed railroad loop is proposed for <br />this area. There will be not disturbance planned for this area given the extremely small area of <br />this vegetation type it was not be necessary to perform actual vegetation sampling of this area. <br />REFERENCE AREA VEGETATION SAMPLING <br />GREASEWOOD REFERENCE AREA <br />The Greasewood Reference Area sampled in connection with the proposed Unit Train Loadout <br />area is located inside the proposed railroad loop in an area that will not be disturbed and is <br />located just to the west of Reed Wash. The location of this proposed reference area is shown <br />on Map 3, Permit Area Vegetation Map. The results obtained from the sampling of this site are <br />presented below. <br />Plant Cover. The results obtained from the sampling of the 36 plant cover transects on the <br />Greasewood Reference Area are presented in Table 2.04.10 -12, Greasewood Reference Area - <br />Plant Cover. Total plant cover on this site averaged 19.14 percent and litter averaged 18.69 <br />percent. <br />Four plant life forms were encountered in the cover sampling of this site. Native perennial <br />forbs were the dominant plant life form encountered on this site, contributing 11.69 percent of <br />the total plant cover and 6 1. 10 percent of the total relative cover found on this site. Native <br />shrubs were the second most dominant plant life form, contributing 6.67 percent of the total <br />plant cover and 34.83 percent of the total relative cover found on this site. Annuals contributed <br />0.58 percent of the total plant cover and 3.05 percent of the total relative cover found on this <br />area. Native perennial grasses contributed 1.02 percent of total relative cover found on this <br />area. <br />Gray Molly, a native perennial forb was the most dominant plant species encountered, <br />contributing 6 1. 10 percent of the total relative plant cover found on this site. The other <br />16 <br />
