The permit boundary, disturbed and affected <br />areas will increase by 6.1 acres. <br />Cultural Resources <br />Appropriate cultural resource surveys have been conducted and are included in the <br />permit in Volume VI. <br />Soils <br />Appropriate soils surveys have been conducted and are included in the permit in <br />
