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