Scoring of Site Assessment Factors <br />The California LESA Model includes four Site Assessment factors that are separately <br />rated: <br />1. The Project Size Rating <br />2. The Water Resources Availability Rating <br />3. The Surrounding Agricultural Land Rating <br />4. The Surrounding Protected Resource Land Rating <br />Site Assessment - The Project Size Rating <br />The Project Size Rating relies upon acreage figures that were tabulated under the Land <br />Capability Classification Rating in Table 1 A. The Project Size rating is based upon <br />identifying acreage figures for three separate groupings of soil classes within the project <br />site, and then determining which grouping generates the highest Project Size Score. <br />Step 1. <br />Using information tabulated in Columns B and D of the Land Evaluation <br />Worksheet (Table 1A), enter acreage figures in Site Assessment Worksheet 1. - <br />Project Size (Table 1 B) using either Column I, J, or K for each of the soil mapping <br />units in a given project. <br />Step 2. <br />Sum the entries in Column I to determine the total acreage of Class I and II soils on <br />the project site. <br />Sum the entries in Column J to determine the total acreage of Class III soils on the <br />project site. <br />Sum the entries in Column K to determine the total acreage of Class IV and lower <br />rated soils on the project site. <br />Step 3. <br />For each of the three columns, apply the appropriate scoring plan provided in Table <br />3, Project Size Scoring, and enter the Project Size Score for each grouping in <br />the Site Assessment Worksheet 1. - Project Size (Table 1 B). Determine which <br />column generates the highest score. The highest score becomes the overall <br />Project Size Score. Enter this number in Line 3 of the Final LESA Scoresheet <br />(Table 8 ). <br />13 <br />
