Description
The site has been manipulated by machinery for the production of forage crop systems. The site may have also been leveled to increase irrigation efficiency. The hydrology of the site is severely altered, with both drainage and irrigation ditches cut to facilitate water movement suited to forage production. This site will not return to its native condition due to the introduced pasture grasses' resilience and the modified hydrology.
