Section III. Weighting of Factors and Final LESA Scoring <br />The California LESA Model is weighted so that 50 percent of the total LESA score of a given <br />project is derived from the Land Evaluation factors, and 50 percent from the Site Assessment <br />factors. Individual factor weights are listed below, with the sum of the factor weights required to <br />equal 100 percent. <br />Land Evaluation Factors <br />Land Capability Classification 25% <br />Stone Index Rating 25% <br />Land Evaluation Subtotal 50% <br />Site Assessment Factors <br />Project Size 15% <br />Water Resource Availability 15% <br />Surrounding Agricultural Lands 15% <br />Surrounding Protected Resource Lands 5% <br />Site Assessment Subtotal 50% <br />Total LESA Factor Weighting 100% <br />Each factor is measured separately (each on 100 point scale) and entered in the appropriate line <br />in Column B of the Final LESA Scoresheet (Table 8). Each factor's score is then multiplied by <br />its respective factor weight, resulting in a weighted factor score in Column D as indicated in <br />Table 8. The weighted factor scores are summed, yielding a Total LESA Score (100 points <br />maximum ) for a given project, which is entered in Line 7 of Column D. <br />29 <br />75A -420 <br />
