EXHIBITJ <br /> VEGETATION INFORMATION <br /> Based on information verified in the field,the active mining operations have cleared and grubbed the <br /> existing vegetation. There are isolated areas of native grasses and small low profile shrubs outside of <br /> the mine permit boundary being proposed with this amendment. There are a couple of cottonwood <br /> trees with an estimated height of 20-30 feet outside of the permit boundaries from the original mine <br /> permit issued along the west property line. Other than some native grass that exists on the north slope <br /> of the amended area, there is not any vegetation that will be impacted with this amendment. Based on <br /> current observations,the native grasses appear to establish themselves very well in arid soils with <br /> minimal topsoil or fines;therefore, it is intended to use similar native grasses in the reclamation of the <br /> disturbed areas. <br /> • <br />
