Soil thickness as determined by past sampling is shown on Exhibit 2011 -6. New Horizon 2
<br />has several different soil thickness requirements and is noted on Map 2.05.4 -4 in section
<br />2.05.4(2)(d) of the current Permit C -81 -008 and is noted on Exhibit 2011 -6.
<br />Topsoil Salvage and Storage
<br />All suitable soil has been salvaged ahead of mining at New Horizon 2. The approximate
<br />volumes for all stored top soil are expressed in cubic yards.
<br />Exhibit 2011 -10 gives details on locations, types, volumes, and stockpile identification.
<br />The soils were stockpiled separately by soil types and /or property ownership as specified
<br />by Permit C -81 -008.
<br />Cover Crop
<br />All topsoil stockpiles in the prime farmland area and several other topsoil stockpiles were
<br />broadcast seeded with the approved temporary seed mix #3. The ponds banks of 009,
<br />011, 012, 013, and 015 were broadcast seeded with mix #3 as was their associated
<br />ditches. These seeded areas are not noted on any Exhibits and are typically reseeded
<br />every year to aid in erosion control and to compete with invasive plant species in disturbed
<br />areas.
<br />• 12.43 acres winter wheat on the future irrigated pasture land north of BB road was
<br />applied at 70 Ibs /ac (Benson).
<br />• 25.66 acres winter wheat on the future irrigation pasture land north of BB road was
<br />applied at 70 Ibs /ac (Lloyd).
<br />A total of 38.1 acres were planted to seed mix #2 at 70 Ibs /ac; winter wheat, a temporary
<br />cover crop, that did not include stockpiles, ponds and ditches. The 38.1 acres are not
<br />noted on any of the Exhibits due to their temporary nature. QuickGuard (sterile triticale)
<br />was planted along with seed mix #8 as per the approved permit at 10 Ibs /ac, "QuickGuard
<br />sterile triticale seed rate will be the same whether broadcast or drill seeded ", 2.05.4(2)(e)-
<br />56.
<br />New Field Seedinq and Interseeding
<br />Approximately 3.1 acres of irrigated pasture was drill seeded in the spring of 2011. This
<br />acreage is located on the Benson Last property; north of BB & east of 27 roads. The
