. e <br /> inasnountm-No;�, <br /> 6 <br /> Samples were placed in clean paper bags and labeled. All samples were sent <br /> to Accu-Labs Research, Inc., Wheat Ridge, Colorado for analysis. <br /> Analytical methods are shown in Table 30. <br /> RESULTS <br /> Vegetation sampling data were compiled from original field sheets and <br /> tabulated by computer. Tables 1 through 28 show the tabulated data and <br /> data summaries for each vegetation type in the three inventory areas. <br /> Table 29 gives the results of a statistical comparison between the meadow <br /> vegetation type and the meadow reference area. Tables 31 through 33 show <br /> the results of the soils inventory for the gas well road corridor. <br /> Precipitation during the 1984 growing season was much higher than average, <br /> according to data from near Redstone, Colorado provided by <br /> Mid-Continent. For the months of May through August, precipitation was 70 <br /> percent higher in 1984 than the average of the previous 6 years. <br /> Measurements of vegetation cover and production made during years of <br /> higher than average precipitation would be expected to reflect better than <br /> average growing conditions. <br /> Sutey Property Vegetation. Three vegetation types, aspen, meadow and <br /> mountain shrub, were identified and are delineated on the vegetation map. <br /> The aspen, meadow, and mountain shrub comprise about 34, 26 and 17 acres, <br /> respectively, of the inventoried area. In addition, the area contains a small <br /> inclusion dominated by conifers, also shown on the map. Since the inclusion <br /> is only about two acres, it was not sampled as part of this study. These <br /> acreages do not necessarily conform to the exact acreages proposed for <br /> disturbance, since parts of the area will include buffer areas and areas of <br /> relatively minor disturbances such as diversion ditches and roads. <br />
