The accompanying map (Appendix 1) displays the lands affected by the proposal. The 

 project's exterior boundary is irregularly shaped and is 12 miles in length. Eight different 

 private landowners own 10 parcels of land that border the project. One neighbor has an 

 easement across one mile of the property which is used for accessing one of their parcels 

 of land. One county road runs into the center of the property about 2 miles where it dead 

 ends at the headquarter buildings. There are no state or federal lands associated with, or 

 connected to, this property.
