Graminoids are obviously present in Douglas-fir undergrowths, but they are generally <br /> subordinate to shrubs or sub-shrubs in most stands. This relationship is not unexpected <br /> because much of the Douglas-fir forest type is dense (especially pure stands), and shrubs tend <br /> to be more shade tolerant than graminoids. <br /> Limber pine, ponderosa pine, quaking aspen, and lodgepole pine are common early-or mid- <br /> seral tree species on Douglas-fir habitat types. As might be expected, lodgepole pine's growth <br /> on these upper montane sites tends to be much poorer than when it is established on a <br /> subalpine zone habitat type." <br /> 7. Within Exhibit 8, the Applicant provided a Custom Soil Report containing a soil map on <br /> Page 8 of the report. Please revise this map to include the proposed permit boundary. <br /> The soil map with Proposed Affected Area (Permit Boundary)from Page 8 of the report is <br /> herewith attached. <br /> 8. Within Exhibit 8, the Applicant states there are no permanent man-made structures <br /> within 200 feet of the proposed permit boundary, however, after review of the submitted maps, <br /> it appears USFS Road 201 is within 200 feet of the permit boundary. Please revise Exhibit 8 to <br /> identify all permanent man-made structures within 200 feet of the permit boundary as required <br /> by Rule 6.3.2(b). <br /> USFS Road 201 is an unmaintained primitive road. It was not considered a "permanent man- <br /> made structure" for our 110(1) permit (2015-2016) and was therefore not considered as such <br /> for this application. This has been corrected and a Revised Exhibit B 6.3.2 (b) is attached <br /> herewith. <br /> Additionally attached, a "Structure Agreement" with the Department of Agriculture, US Forest <br /> Service, for said un-maintained public dirt road (USFS Road 201) has been submitted and <br /> executed by both parties. Copies are attached herewith. <br /> EXHIBIT C- Mining Plan (Rule 6.3.3): <br /> 9. Within Exhibit C, under the heading 6.3.3(1)(e)subheadings 1 and 2, the Applicant <br /> discusses initially mapping the deposit with prospect pits and trenching using hand tools and <br /> mechanized equipment prior to open pit operations. Please clarify if these development <br /> disturbances are included in the 2-acre limited bond or will be a separate task. <br />
