The proposed mining site is rangeland that consists of drainage contours that have native <br /> grasses and also cedar trees throughout. The recommended seed mix is listed below: <br /> Gamma Grass, Indian Rice grass, Western Wheatgrass, Alfalfa, Mountain Mahogany, Currant, <br /> Winterfat. <br /> There are no permanent structures within two hundred (200) feet of the affected area. <br /> There are no known aquifers within the mining area or in the vicinity of the mining area. <br /> Gravel extraction will be performed within bermed work areas in order to contain and collect <br /> storm runoff water and sediments that may otherwise be carried to neighboring drainages. <br /> Due to the high percolation of the soil in the pit and the fact that the mining will cover a <br /> small acreage the bermed mining area are not expected to form detention ponds or standing water <br /> due to storm events. <br /> The largest drainage in the area is outside of the permit area and will be bermed to <br /> prevent it from encroaching into the permit area. <br />
