on Exhibit C-l, occupying well under one percent of the permit area. 

 Site parameters and floristic composition parallel those of the three 

 subalpine fir habitat types listed above, with Sitka alder ( Alnus 

 sipueta .) domipant in the overstory, apd subalpipe fir ( Abie s 

 lasiocarpc .) end Engelmann spruce (Pice a en gelmanni i ) seedlings the most 

 successfully reproducing conifers ip the understory. 



The sitka alder community type occurred on the V loam soil, 0-25 

 percent slope. 



Quakipg Aspen (Pop tre) Conmjnity Type . The Pop tre community is 

 a very minor type in the permit area, found at only one location. The 

 site was relatively mesic and occurred en a moderately steep, southerly 

 aspect at about 7100 feet elevation. Aspen stands share floristic 

 similarities with the more open growth of adjacent forest habitat types 

 such as Pse men/Cal rub. 



The quaking aspen community type occurred on the X loam soil, 0-25 

 percept slope. 



pouglas-f ir/Pjpegrass (Pse men/Cal rub) Habitat Type . This is the 

 driest forest habitat type presept in the permit area, approaching 

 upper elevatiopal limits for the type. It was found at elevations of
