City Parcel Western Boundary, Arena East, Arena West, County Parcel Palm and Pipe

The EIR says:

“1/26/95, 1/28/95 (combined for purposes of analysis) and 3/27/95: City area : Fields appear to have been disced in January photos, but probably several months earlier, as some shrubs are visible, although less extensively arrayed than in 1993. Area appears very wet, the arena is overgrown with weeds and there is little sign of use around the stables. March photo shows a slight decrease in the extent of standing water, no change in field condition or cover.

County area: Vegetation patches difficult to assess due to darkness of photos, but no evidence of changes in extent or shape from previous photo. “

Initial Rainfall = January 3, 1995
Aerial Photo = January 28, 1995
Consecutive Days of Ponding = 26+

Initial Rainfall = March 6, 1995
EIR Aerial Photo = March 27, 1995
Consecutive Days of Ponding = 22+

Since the quality of the above EIR historical site report photo is rather poor, the following no-day-specified aerial photo from March 1995 can be used to better see the ponding areas:
