EXHIBIT "J" <br /> 6.4.10 Vegetation Information: <br /> (a) Description of the present vegetation: <br /> This section describes what the ideal plant community,based on the soils units, is capable of. It is a <br /> meaningful representation; given the conversion application area is rangeland and is in very good <br /> condition. The proposed seed mix is on the dominate plant species in the following Ecological Site <br /> Description(ESD) <br /> There are three major ESD's for the proposed mining area. The others are not significant as to the <br /> area to be disturbed and have not been included in the Conversion Application. The unit know as <br /> Yt, is also not included since it primarily consist of surface sands an gravels: <br /> • Soil Unit known as PsB,Ecological Site Descriptions: <br /> ➢ R069XY026CO: <br /> ➢ This ESD was chosen to represent the typical site vegetation and climatic features of the <br /> site. The ESD R069XY026CO shows the site to be slightly dryer than R067BY024CO. <br /> The highlighted plant species should do well in the reclamation seed mix and are the <br /> same species shown in the plant list for R069BY024CO. <br /> Site Type: Rangeland C lorado <br /> Site Name: Sandy <br /> Site ID: R069XY026CO 69 <br /> Major Land Resource Area: 69 — Upper Arkansas Valley 69 <br /> Rolling Plains <br /> Physiographic Features <br /> This site occurs on gently sloping to moderately sloping <br /> uplands and plains. New Mexico Oklahoma <br /> Landform: hill. plain, ridge, fan Aspect: N/A <br /> R067BY024CO: Similar to R069XY026CO <br /> 56 <br />
